= RouteBuilder
The `RouteBuilder` is a base class which is derived from to create routing rules using the DSL.
Instances of `RouteBuilder` are then added to the `CamelContext`.
== RouteBuilder example
The following shows an example of a `RouteBuilder`:
[source,java]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
/**
* A Camel Java DSL Router
*/
public class MyRouteBuilder extends RouteBuilder {
/**
* Let's configure the Camel routing rules using Java code...
*/
public void configure() {
// here is a sample which processes the input files
// (leaving them in place - see the 'noop' flag)
// then performs content based routing on the message using XPath
from("file:src/data?noop=true")
.choice()
.when(xpath("/person/city = 'London'"))
.to("file:target/messages/uk")
.otherwise()
.to("file:target/messages/others");
}
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the `configure` method we can define Camel xref:routes.adoc[Routes].
