How to force Bindy to always return List?

I have the following route:

from("direct:abc")
        // read the file  
        .split(body().tokenize("\n", 3, false)).streaming().stopOnException()
        .unmarshal(new BindyCsvDataFormat(Foo.class))
        .process(new FooListProcessor());

The problem is that if I have 4 records in file first group comes in processor as List but the second as a single Foo object. I have to check body with instanceof and create a list every time when such cases occurs.

Foo class:

@CsvRecord(separator = ",")
public class Foo {
   @DataField(pos = 1)
   private String fooField;
   @DataField(pos = 2, trim = true)
   private String barField;
}

File content:

"lorem","ipsum"
"dolorem","sit"
"consectetur","adipiscing"
"eiusmod","incididunt"

Is there a way to force Bindy to always unmarshall into a List?

Solution

  • No bindy returns a single instance if there is single instance. And a list of there are more.

    I have logged a ticket for an improvement so you can configure this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-12321
