Description

We are supporting the Split EIP splitting a map out of the box from Camel 3.13.0 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-17101. However, it changes the behavior when using jsonpath, as the jsonpath always evaluates the message to Map.

// code placeholder
from("direct:start")
        .split().jsonpath("$.store.books")
        .to("log:book", "mock:result"); 

My suggestion is to allow enable and disable this behavior. Look at this example

// code placeholder
from("direct:start")
        .split()
        .splitMapEntry(true)
        .jsonpath("$.store.books")
        .to("log:book", "mock:result"); 

 

Let me know if it makes sense. If so, I can get this issue and send a PR.
