public interface Expression
An expression provides a plugin strategy for evaluating expressions on a message exchange. An expression should be thread-safe and be able to evaluate concurrently by different threads with different exchanges. Any initialization logic should be done by the init(CamelContext) method which allows to prepare the expressions such as wiring in resources, pre-parsing and what else.
