import java.util.HashMap;
def Message processData(Message message) {
   
       def body = message.getBody(String) as String;
       body = body.replaceAll("<ns3:Product xmlns:ns3="http://xc.Oracle.com">","<ns3:Product>");

Hi Arvik

When you have a double quote inside a string, that is delimited by double quotes, it confuses things. Instead, you need to quote them like this:

body = body.replaceAll("<ns3:Product xmlns:ns3=\"http://xc.Oracle.com\">","<ns3:Product>");

Notice the two backslashes inside the string.

Regards,

Morten

P.S. You don't need a semicolon at the end of a statement in Groovy.
