# cSplitter Splits a message into several sub-messages so that they can be handled and treated differently in individual routes. For more information, see the Apache camel documentation https://camel.apache.org/components/latest/. ## cSplitter Standard properties These properties are used to configure cSplitter running in the Standard Job framework. The Standard cSplitter component belongs to the Routing family. ## Basic settings | Properties | Description | | --- | --- | | Language | Select the language of the expression you want to use to split your messages,
from None, Constant, EL, Groovy, Header, JoSQL, JSonPath, JXPath, MVEL, OGNL, PHP,
Property, Python, Ruby, Simple, SpEL,
SQL, XPath, and XQuery.

For more information about how to use the languages to create an expression, see
the site http://camel.apache.org/languages.html. | | Correlation expression/Expression | Type in the expression to use to split the messages. | | Correlation expression/Use Result Class
Type | This option appears when XPath is
selected in the Language list.

Select this check box to set the result type of the sub-messages
in the field that appears. The default native XML objects
org.w3c.dom.NodeList will be used if not
specified. | | Correlation expression/Add
Namespaces | This option appears when XPath is
selected in the Language list.

Select this check box to add namespaces for the Xpath expression.
Click [+] to add as many namespaces
as required to the table and define the prefix and URI in the
corresponding columns. | | Use Strategy | Select this check box to refer to an aggregation strategy to assemble the
replies from the sub-messages into a single outgoing message from the splitter.
Enter the ID of the aggregation strategy or select a predefined aggregation strategy.



Information noteNote: The predefined aggregation strategies are available only if you have
installed the R2024-10 Talend Studio Monthly update or a later one delivered by Talend. For more information, check with your administrator.

The
sub-message replies will be aggregated in the order they come back if
Streaming is enabled. If not, the
sub-message replies will be aggregated in the same order as they were
split. | | Parameters/Parallel
Processing | Select this check box to process the sub-messages
concurrently. The caller thread will wait until all sub-messages have
been fully processed before it continues. | | Parameters/Stop on
Exception | Select this check box to stop processing immediately
when an exception occurs. | | Parameters/Streaming | Select this check box to split the message in a
streaming fashion, which means it will split the input message in
chunks. It is recommended to enable this option when processing big
messages. | | Parameters/Share Unit of
Work | Select this check box to share the unit of work between
the parent exchange and each split exchange. For more information and an
use case of this option, see the site http://camel.apache.org/splitter.html. | | Parameters/Timeout | Specify a total timeout in millisecond. If the message is not split and
processed within the given time frame, the timeout triggers and the splitter
breaks out.

If you have installed the R2023-05 Talend Studio Monthly update or a later one delivered by Talend, you can use context variables of String or
Long type in the Timeout
parameter. | ## Usage | Usage guidance | Description | | --- | --- | | **Usage rule** | cSplitter is used as a middle
