The Switch Mediator is an XPath or JSONPath filter. The XPath or JSONPath is evaluated and returns a string. This string is matched against the regular expression in each switch case statementmediator, in the specified order. If a matching case is found, it will be executed, and no further processing of the case statements is executedremaining switch case mediators are not processed. If none of the case statements are matching, and a default case is specified, the default will be executed.

Example

In this example the Property mediator to set  sets the local property named "symbol" on the current message depending on the evaluation of the string. It will get the text of symbol element and match it against the values MSFT and IBM. If the text does not match either of these symbols, the default case will be executed.

<switch source="//m0:getQuote/m0:request/m0:symbol" xmlns:m0="http://services.samples/xsd">
      <case regex="IBM">
          <!-- the property mediator sets a local property on the *current* message -->
          <property name="symbol" value="Great stock - IBM"/>
      </case>
      <case regex="MSFT">
          <property name="symbol" value="Are you sure? - MSFT"/>
      </case>
      <default>
          <!-- it is possible to assign the result of an XPath or JSON Path expression as well -->
          <property name="symbol"
                expression="fn:concat('Normal Stock - ', //m0:getQuote/m0:request/m0:symbol)"
                xmlns:m0="http://services.samples/xsd"/>
      </default>
  </switch>
