org.mule.processor.AbstractMuleObjectOwner<MessageProcessor>

org.mule.processor.AbstractMessageProcessorOwner

org.mule.routing.Foreach

All Implemented Interfaces:

AnnotatedObject, FlowConstructAware, MuleContextAware, MessagingExceptionHandlerAware, Disposable, Initialisable, Lifecycle, Startable, Stoppable, NonBlockingSupported, MessageProcessor, MessageProcessorContainer

public class Foreach
extends AbstractMessageProcessorOwner
implements Initialisable, MessageProcessor, NonBlockingSupported

` * The Foreach MessageProcessor allows iterating over a collection payload, or any collection obtained by an expression, generating a message for each element.

The number of the message being processed is stored in #[variable:counter] and the root message is store in #[variable:rootMessage]. Both variables may be renamed by means of setCounterVariableName(String) and setRootMessageVariableName(String).

Defining a groupSize greater than one, allows iterating over collections of elements of the specified size.

The MuleEvent sent to the next message processor is the same that arrived to foreach.

Method Detail

process

public MuleEvent process(MuleEvent event)
                  throws MuleException

Description copied from interface: MessageProcessor

Invokes the MessageProcessor.

Specified by:

process in interface MessageProcessor

Parameters:

event - MuleEvent to be processed

Returns:

optional response MuleEvent

Throws:

MuleException

doProcess

protected void doProcess(MuleEvent event)
                  throws MuleException,
                         MessagingException

Throws:

MuleException

MessagingException

getOwnedMessageProcessors

protected List<MessageProcessor> getOwnedMessageProcessors()

Specified by:

getOwnedMessageProcessors in class AbstractMessageProcessorOwner

addMessageProcessorPathElements

public void addMessageProcessorPathElements(MessageProcessorPathElement pathElement)

Description copied from interface: MessageProcessorContainer

Add the child nodes to the path element tree.

Specified by:

addMessageProcessorPathElements in interface MessageProcessorContainer

Overrides:

addMessageProcessorPathElements in class AbstractMessageProcessorOwner

setMessageProcessors

public void setMessageProcessors(List<MessageProcessor> messageProcessors)
                          throws MuleException

Throws:

MuleException

initialise

public void initialise()
                throws InitialisationException

Description copied from interface: Initialisable

Method used to perform any initialisation work. If a fatal error occurs during initialisation an InitialisationException should be thrown, causing the Mule instance to shutdown. If the error is recoverable, say by retrying to connect, a RecoverableException should be thrown. There is no guarantee that by throwing a Recoverable exception that the Mule instance will not shut down.

Specified by:

initialise in interface Initialisable

Overrides:

initialise in class AbstractMuleObjectOwner<MessageProcessor>

Throws:

InitialisationException - if a fatal error occurs causing the Mule instance to shutdown

RecoverableException - if an error occurs that can be recovered from

setCollectionExpression

public void setCollectionExpression(String expression)

setBatchSize

public void setBatchSize(int batchSize)

setRootMessageVariableName

public void setRootMessageVariableName(String rootMessageVariableName)

setCounterVariableName

public void setCounterVariableName(String counterVariableName)
