Class BridgeComponent

java.lang.Object
  extended byorg.mule.components.simple.BridgeComponent
All Implemented Interfaces:
Callable, UMODescriptorAware, UMOEventListener

public class BridgeComponent
extends Object
implements UMODescriptorAware, Callable

The BridgeComponent is a standard Mule component that enables a bridge between an inbound and outbound endpoints. Transformers can be used on the endpoints to convert the data being received in order to 'bridge' from one endpoint transport to another. When the BridgeComponent is used, it configures itself so that it will not actually be invoked, instead it tells Mule to bypass invocation of the component, which has a slight performance improvement. Note that because the component is never actually invoked any interceptors configured on the component will not be invoked either.

Method Detail

setDescriptor

public void setDescriptor(UMODescriptor descriptor)
                   throws ConfigurationException
Specified by:
setDescriptor in interface UMODescriptorAware
Throws:
ConfigurationException

onCall

public Object onCall(UMOEventContext context)
              throws Exception
Description copied from interface: Callable
Passes the event to the listener

Specified by:
onCall in interface Callable
Parameters:
context - the context of the current event being process
Returns:
Object this object can be anything. When the UMOLifecycleAdapter for the component receives this object it will first see if the Object is an UMOMessage if not and the Object is not null a new message will be created using the returned object as the payload. This new event will then get published via the configured outbound router if-
  1. One has been configured for the UMO.
  2. the setStopFurtherProcessing(true) wasn't called on the event context event.
Throws:
Exception - if the event fails to process properly. If exceptions aren't handled by the implementation they will be handled by the exceptionListener associated with the component
