RE: mule 2 template-endpoint-router

Hi,

Why don't you create an outbound router that builds its own endpoints (just
like the RecipientListRouter does) and creates the endpoint based upon the
message payload and a configured endpoint.

So your router will be configured like this:

<my-outbound-router>
        <spring:property name="endpointStub">
       
<spring:value>http://somehost:someport/mycgi?dothis=</spring:value>
        </spring:property>
</my-outbound-router>

To explain more about what I need to do:

I need to take some data out of my message and construct a URL (to a
cgi-like interface) to make a call over http.

ie,

inbound message contains:  "myparameter" in the payload

I need to then call:
http://somehost:someport/mycgi?dothis=myparameter

In mule 1.4.x we wrote a component that makes the http call.  I found this
architecture confusing.  You have this inbound message that gets fed to a
component, and then disappears.  It is like it fell through a trap door
while you weren't looking.

I'd rather use an actual outbound router to deliver the message.

I was hoping the template-endpoint-router could do this trick.

service:

<inbound>
  <inbound-endpoint xxx />
</inbound>

<component>
  extract myparameter somehow
</component>

<outbound>
   <template-endpoint-router theparameter="myparameter">
       <template outbound endpoint>
   </template-endpoint-router>
</outbound>

--

1) Once I've found "myparameter" with the component, how do I feed it into
the template-endpoint-router?  Do I replace the payload with it?  Put it on
the message headers somehow?

2) How do I configure the http endpoint to accept "myparameter" at the
proper place in the url?

... Maybe this isn't possible, and the only way to get out of Mule 2.0.2
with the URL I need, will have to be through the component.
