The bodies are the ones with the default options. A side that is not listed is not known, and tooling does not guess it. The carriers, the sides and the tools that use them are described in Message Body Types.

Exchange properties

Example

We want to remove a header with key "myHeader" from the message:

  • Java

  • XML

  • YAML

from("seda:b")
  .removeHeader("myHeader")
  .to("mock:result");
<route>
  <from uri="seda:b"/>
  <removeHeader name="myHeader"/>
  <to uri="mock:result"/>
</route>
- route:
    from:
      uri: seda:b
      steps:
        - removeHeader:
            name: myHeader
        - to:
            uri: mock:result
