Description

See
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5067634/xpath-from-string

In the ExpressionClause the xpath builder is only accepting a String as they XPath text. We should provide a method which accepts a Camel Expression as well.

So you can do

  .when().xpath(simple("/foo:${header.variable}")).to("mock:y")
