Name
Dynamic Router — Routes messages based on rules specified by the recipients at start up
Usage
The dynamic router pattern uses an expression to determine how to route messages. As each processor completes, the expression is evaluated to determine the next location. The route completes when the expression evaluates to null.

|---|---|
The dynamic router's expression must be able to evaluate to false. If it cannot, the route will slip into an infinite processing loop. |
The dynamic router pattern can be used anywhere in the body of a route.
