Description

Mule currently manages transformations in a weak way, one of the main problems is that it does not enforce the application of transformers on a given message, so is not possible to know in advance what would be the payload type of a message after a given transformation.

Problems:

  • Given a transformer chain, you cannot know in advance what will be the data type of the payload after the transformation.
  • Because transformers are just skipped with no error, users can think they are doing everything ok and then found an error later on the flow, making the error analysis hard.
