- Field Detail
  - INITIAL_STATE_STARTED
```
static final String INITIAL_STATE_STARTED
```
    See Also:
    Constant Field Values
  - INITIAL_STATE_STOPPED
```

```

- Method Detail
  - getEndpointURI
```
EndpointURI getEndpointURI()
```
    This specifess the communication endpointUri. This will have a different format depending on the transport protocol being used i.e.
    - smtp -> admin@mycompany.com
    - jms -> shipping.orders.topic
    - sms -> +447910010010
    if an endpointUri is not specifed it will be assumed that it will be determined at run-time by the calling application. The endpointUri can be aliteral endpointUri such as an email address or it can be a logical name for an endpointUri as long as it is declared in a message-endpointUri block. When the message-provider is created the endpointUri is first lookup in the endpointUri registry and if nothing is returned the endpointUri value itself is used.
    Returns:
    the endpointUri on which the endpoint sends or receives data
  - getAddress
```
String getAddress()
```
    This returns the address of the endpoint. When this contains a template, it may not be a URI
    
    Returns:
    the address on which the endpoint sends or receives data
  - getEncoding
```
String getEncoding()
```
    Decides the encoding to be used for events received by this endpoint
    
    Returns:
    the encoding set on the endpoint or null if no codin has been specified
  - getConnector
```
Connector getConnector()
```
    The endpoint that will be used to send the message on. It is important that the endpointUri and the connection correlate i.e. if your endpointUri is a jms queue your connection must be a JMS endpoint.
    
    Returns:
    the endpoint associated with the endpoint
  - getTransformers
```
@Deprecated
List<Transformer> getTransformers()
```
    Deprecated. use getMessageProcessors() instead
    
    Transformers are responsible for transforming data when it is received or sent by the component (depending on whether this endpoint is a receiver or not). A tranformation for an inbound event can be forced by the user by calling the inbound event.getTransformedMessage(). A tranformation for an outbound event is called or when the Service dispatchEvent() or sendEvent() methods are called. If an endpoint has no transformers an empty list is returned.
    
    Returns:
    the transformers to use when receiving or sending data
  - getResponseTransformers
```
@Deprecated
List<Transformer> getResponseTransformers()
```
    Deprecated. use getResponseMessageProcessors() instead
    
    The transformers used when a response is returned from invoking this endpoint. If an endpoint has no response transformers an empty list is returned.
    
    Returns:
    the transformer to use when receiving the response data
  - getProperties
```
Map getProperties()
```
    Returns any properties set on this endpoint
    
    Returns:
    a map of properties for this endpoint
  - getProperty
```
Object getProperty(Object key)
```
    Retrieves a property set on the endpoint
    
    Parameters:
    key - the name of the property
    
    Returns:
    the property value or null if it does not exist
  - getProtocol
```
String getProtocol()
```
    The transport protocol name that the message endpoint communicates over. i.e. jms, sms, smtp etc. The protocol must match that of the associated endpoint
    
    Returns:
    the protocol name
  - isReadOnly
```
boolean isReadOnly()
```
    Returns:
    true if this endpoint is read-only and none of it's properties can change. Global endpoints should be read-only so that unexpected behaviour is avoided.
  - getTransactionConfig
```
TransactionConfig getTransactionConfig()
```
    Returns the transaction configuration for this endpoint
    
    Returns:
    the transaction configuration for this endpoint or null if the endpoint is not transactional
  - getFilter
```
Filter getFilter()
```
    The filter to apply to incoming messages. Only applies when the endpoint endpointUri is a receiver
    
    Returns:
    the Filter to use or null if one is not set
  - isDeleteUnacceptedMessages
```
boolean isDeleteUnacceptedMessages()
```
    If a filter is configured on this endpoint, this property will determine if message that are not excepted by the filter are deleted
    
    Returns:
    true if message should be deleted, false otherwise
  - getSecurityFilter
```
@Deprecated
EndpointSecurityFilter getSecurityFilter()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Returns an EndpointSecurityFilter for this endpoint. If one is not set, there will be no authentication on events sent via this endpoint
    
    Returns:
    EndpointSecurityFilter responsible for authenticating message flow via this endpoint.
    See Also:
    EndpointSecurityFilter
  - getMessageProcessorsFactory
```
EndpointMessageProcessorChainFactory getMessageProcessorsFactory()
```
  - getMessageProcessors
```
List<MessageProcessor> getMessageProcessors()
```
  - getResponseMessageProcessors
```
List<MessageProcessor> getResponseMessageProcessors()
```
  - getExchangePattern
```
MessageExchangePattern getExchangePattern()
```
  - getResponseTimeout
```
int getResponseTimeout()
```
    The timeout value for waiting for a response from a remote invocation or back channel. Mule will only wait for a response if the endpoint's message exchange pattern requires a response.
    
    Returns:
    the timeout in milliseconds
  - getInitialState
```
String getInitialState()
```
    Sets the state the endpoint will be loaded in. The States are 'stopped' and 'started' (default)
    
    Returns:
    the endpoint starting state
  - getMuleContext
```
MuleContext getMuleContext()
```
  - getRetryPolicyTemplate
```
RetryPolicyTemplate getRetryPolicyTemplate()
```
    The retry policy on the endpoint configures how retries are handled. The behaviour is slightly different for inbound and outbound endpoints. For inbound endpoints the Retry Policy determines how the connection to the underlying transport will be managed if the connection is lost. For outbound endpoints, the Retry Policy will attempt to retry dispatching, sending and receiving an event
    
    Returns:
    the Policy factory to use when retrying a connection or dispatching an event
  - getEndpointBuilderName
```
String getEndpointBuilderName()
```
    The name of the endpoint builder used to create this endpoint. May be used to an endpoints builder for example to recreate endpoints for deserialized events.
  - isProtocolSupported
```
boolean isProtocolSupported(String protocol)
```
  - getMimeType
```
String getMimeType()
```
    Return the mime type defined for the endpoint, if any
  - getRedeliveryPolicy
```
AbstractRedeliveryPolicy getRedeliveryPolicy()
```
    Return the endpoint's redelivery policy, if any
  - isDisableTransportTransformer
```
boolean isDisableTransportTransformer()
```
