Marshal EIP

Marshalling is the opposite of unmarshalling, where a bean is marshalled into some binary or textual format for transmission over some transport via a Camel Components. Marshalling is used in the same way as unmarshalling above; in the DSL you can use a DataFormat instance, you can configure the DataFormat dynamically using the DSL or you can refer to a named instance of the format in the Registry.

Options

The Marshal EIP supports 1 options which are listed below:

Name Description Default Type

dataFormatType

Required The data format to be used

DataFormatDefinition

Samples

The following example unmarshals via serialization then marshals using a named JAXB data format to perform a kind of Message Translator.

from("file://foo/bar").
  unmarshal().serialization().
  marshal("jaxb").
  to("activemq:Some.Queue");

Using Spring XML

This example shows how to configure the data type just once and reuse it on multiple routes

You can also define reusable data formats as Spring beans

<bean id="myJaxb" class="org.apache.camel.model.dataformat.JaxbDataFormat">
  <property name="prettyPrint" value="true"/>
  <property name="contextPath" value="org.apache.camel.example"/>
</bean>
