Annotation Type Payload

@Documented
public @interface Payload

Used on components, this annotation marks the method parameter that will be used to pass in the message payload. Note that the parameter type will be used to do any auto conversions using transformers available inside the Mule container. Mule has a number of standard transformers for dealing with common Java types such as XML documents, streams, byte arrays, strings, etc. It is also very easy for users to define their own using the Transformer annotation.
