Question

i am attempting to use a chaining router like so:

<flow name="Something">
    <quartz:inbound-endpoint jobName="eventTimer"
        repeatInterval="2000">
        <quartz:event-generator-job />
    </quartz:inbound-endpoint>
    <chaining-router>
        <jdbc:outbound-endpoint queryKey="selectMules"
            exchange-pattern="request-response" />
        <collection-splitter />
        <vm:outbound-endpoint path="Something"
            exchange-pattern="one-way" />
    </chaining-router>
</flow>

However, i keep gettnig a scheme error:

A Fatal error has occurred while the server was running:                     *
* cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element      *
* 'chaining-router'.

Now, i’ve checked and the relveant scehmes is loaded – my schemes are:

The chaining-router is a legacy router designed to work with the old service element. In flows, use routing message processors instead.

In your case, you don’t need any router to chain stuff together as message processors are automatically chained in a flow (provided endpoints are request-response, otherwise some dispatches happen asynchronously).
