Routing complete incoming messages
A JsonMessageRouter component directs a whole incoming message (payload) to a new slot so that incoming messages may redirect the JSON to be
handled by another component, such as a “handler” component type.
- Open the jsonToolkit palette, expand and drag a JsonMessageRouter component to a working folder in the station.
- Open the router Property Sheet by double-clicking the JsonMessageRouter component.
- Type a value in the
Keyproperty to identify the type of message (for example: messageType) and click Save.EnablingLearn Modeadds a dynamic slot on input. This procedure documents how to add the slot manually. - Manually add a dynamic string slot to the router component by opening the AX Slot Sheet view, or by simply right-clicking the sheet and clicking Add Slot.An Add Slot window opens for either method, as shown below.
Adding a slot from the Slot Sheet View Adding a slot using the Action menu 
- Give the slot a name, use the transient and read-only flags to avoid onward handlers running again at station start and click
OK.The new slot is added.
- On the Wire Sheet, connect the router.The following Wire Sheet routes the entire incoming message to the dynamic slot for onward processing:
For example, if Key = messageType, the JSON routes this message to a string slot with a name “alarmAck” and then on to connected handlers, as shown above.
{ "messageType": "alarmAck", "user": "AJones", "alarmId": [ "5cf9c8b2-1542-42ba-a1fd-5f753c777bc0" ] }
