org.mule.expression.transformers

Class AbstractExpressionTransformer

java.lang.Object

org.mule.AbstractAnnotatedObject

org.mule.transformer.AbstractTransformer

org.mule.transformer.AbstractMessageTransformer

org.mule.expression.transformers.AbstractExpressionTransformer

All Implemented Interfaces:

AnnotatedObject, MuleContextAware, Disposable, Initialisable, NameableObject, NamedObject, MessageProcessor, MessageTransformer, Transformer, EndpointAware

Direct Known Subclasses:

BeanBuilderTransformer, ExpressionTransformer

public abstract class AbstractExpressionTransformer
extends AbstractMessageTransformer

This transformer will evaluate one or more expressions on the current message and return the results as an Array. If only one expression is defined it will return the object returned from the expression.

You can use expressions to extract

• headers (single, map or list)
• attachments (single, map or list)
• payload
• xpath
• groovy
• bean

and more.

This transformer provides a very powerful way to pull different bits of information from the message and pass them to the service.
