Answer 1

Maybe too late, but the answer is to use camel-jsonpath.

<route>
  <from uri="direct:start"/>
  <choice>
    <when>
      <jsonpath>$.service[?(@.serviceType=='PaymentService')]</jsonpath>
      <log message="In PaymentServcie"/>
    </when>
    <otherwise>
      <log message="In OtherServcie"/>
    </otherwise>
  </choice>

Don't forget the Maven dependency :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-jsonpath</artifactId>
    <version>${camel.version}</version>
</dependency>
