=== Spring XML Extensions

The Camel Spring XML Extensions allow you use a very concise XML syntax
to describe your Camel configuration when you are using spring to wire
together your application.

The following is an example of what it looks like:

[source,xml]
----
<camelContext errorHandlerRef="errorHandler" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
    <route>
        <from uri="direct:a"/>
        <choice>
            <when>
                <xpath>$foo = 'bar'</xpath>
                <to uri="direct:b"/>
            </when>
            <when>
                <xpath>$foo = 'cheese'</xpath>
                <to uri="direct:c"/>
            </when>
            <otherwise>
                <to uri="direct:d"/>
            </otherwise>
        </choice>
    </route>
</camelContext>
