Re: XML file contains filename to be moved (with itself).. what packages should I use?
Shouldn't I see.. even if the bean blows up... my log entries?  It was working before I took out the ".to" to be a bean instead of a file.
when you have both of them (eg the pairs you talked a bit about).
is dynamic and also needs to be extracted via xpath.
wont attempt to move the file also.
>  Yes.. this was my thinking, but with either scenario, I need to comingle exchanges to know what the first route is reading to make the decision in the second route.. In the previous e-mail you suggested I can extract the xpath in another java instance outside the route.. but I need that to know which file the route is currently consuming. So I can successfully do all these things.. each in their own "bubble".. but I lose it in the coordination between them.

I need to use the xpath in the current consumed XML to determine what file should exist for the route to continue. I haven't seen to many examples of parameter passing of the internal workings of a Camel route to beans and the route accepting data from to use in <choice>.  I did think I needed to pass this off to another java execution, thus the reason I'm pulling my results to the log and so forth, but I still thought I needed the facilites of the CamelContext to run first... or is the filter not really so close on incept of an inbound file as I think?  Is the inbound "message" (file in this case) really "consumed" as in loaded/headers made, etc. before the filter instruction applies?

> > > > Since these xml files are generated at invocation, the "work" file might not show up for a few minutes.  In that time, I'm hoping to round-robin any other XML files to find completed "pairs" in this landing directory. Sound simple enough?  Any gotchas that people can think of?
