Method Detail

process

MuleEvent process(MuleEvent event)
                  throws MuleException

This method is responsible for routing the Message via the MuleSession. The logic for this method will change for each type of router depending on expected behaviour. For example, a MulticastingRouter might just iterate through the list of assoaciated endpoints sending the message. Another type of router such as the ExceptionBasedRouter will hit the first endpoint, if it fails try the second, and so on. Most router implementations will extends the FilteringOutboundRouter which implements all the common logic need for a router.

Specified by:

process in interface MessageProcessor

Parameters:

event - MuleEvent to be processed

Returns:

a result message if any from the invocation. If the endpoint bound has a one-way exchange pattern configured a null result will always be returned.

Throws:

MessagingException - if any errors occur during the sending of messages

MuleException

Since:

2.1 the synchronous argument has been removed. Instead use the synchronous attribute of the endpoint you are dispatching to.
