EndpointFactory (Mule Kernel 3.8.2 API)

Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`EndpointBuilder`	`getEndpointBuilder(String uri)` Used to retrieve the an EndpointBuilder equal to the one would be used to create an endpoint. This is useful if you need to customize a builder before creation of an endpoint as you can use this method to obtain the endpoint builder, custommize it and then call the factory methods that take a EndpointBuilder rather than a String.
`InboundEndpoint`	`getInboundEndpoint(EndpointBuilder builder)` Creates an endpoint with the "INBOUND" role using the builder provided.
`InboundEndpoint`	`getInboundEndpoint(EndpointURI endpointUri)` Deprecated.
`InboundEndpoint`	`getInboundEndpoint(String uri)` Creates an endpoint with the "INBOUND" role.
`OutboundEndpoint`	`getOutboundEndpoint(EndpointBuilder builder)` Creates an endpoint with the "OUTBOUND" role using the builder provided.
`OutboundEndpoint`	`getOutboundEndpoint(EndpointURI endpointUri)` Deprecated.
`OutboundEndpoint`	`getOutboundEndpoint(String uri)` Creates an endpoint with the "OUTBOUND" role.

  - getInboundEndpoint
```
InboundEndpoint getInboundEndpoint(String uri)
                                   throws MuleException
```
    Creates an endpoint with the "INBOUND" role.
    
    The uri parameter can either be a uri, or a (global) endpoint identifier or name.
    
    The InboundEndpoint interface is currently used as the return type but this will be replaces by and more specific interface. SEE MULE-2292
    
    Parameters:
    uri - endpoint identifier or uri
    
    Throws:
    
    MuleException
  - getOutboundEndpoint
```
OutboundEndpoint getOutboundEndpoint(String uri)
                                     throws MuleException
```
    Creates an endpoint with the "OUTBOUND" role.
    
    The uri parameter can either be a uri, or a (global) endpoint identifier or name.
    
    The OutboundEndpoint interface is currently used as the return type but this will be replaces by and more specific interface. SEE MULE-2292 To add an outbound endpoint in a pipeline an honor the execution context of an endpoint a org.mule.api.endpoint.OutboundEndpointExecutorFactory must be used to wrap the outbound endpoint.
    
    Parameters:
    uri - endpoint identifier or uri
    
    Throws:
    
    MuleException
  - getInboundEndpoint
```
InboundEndpoint getInboundEndpoint(EndpointBuilder builder)
                                   throws MuleException
```
    Creates an endpoint with the "INBOUND" role using the builder provided.
    
    Parameters:
    builder -
    
    Throws:
    
    MuleException
  - getOutboundEndpoint
```
OutboundEndpoint getOutboundEndpoint(EndpointBuilder builder)
                                     throws MuleException
```
    Creates an endpoint with the "OUTBOUND" role using the builder provided. To add an outbound endpoint in a pipeline an org.mule.api.endpoint.OutboundEndpointExecutorFactory must be used to wrap the outbound endpoint.
    
    Parameters:
    builder -
    
    Throws:
    
    MuleException
  - getInboundEndpoint
```
@Deprecated
InboundEndpoint getInboundEndpoint(EndpointURI endpointUri)
                                   throws MuleException
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Parameters:
    endpointUri -
    
    Throws:
    
    MuleException
  - getOutboundEndpoint

@Deprecated
OutboundEndpoint getOutboundEndpoint(EndpointURI endpointUri)
                                     throws MuleException
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Parameters:
    endpointUri -
    
    Throws:
    
    MuleException
  - getEndpointBuilder
```
EndpointBuilder getEndpointBuilder(String uri)
                                   throws MuleException
```
    Used to retrieve the an EndpointBuilder equal to the one would be used to create an endpoint.
    
    This is useful if you need to customize a builder before creation of an endpoint as you can use this method to obtain the endpoint builder, custommize it and then call the factory methods that take a EndpointBuilder rather than a String.
    
    (Of course if you know the uri is a uri rather than a global endpoint identifier you could create your own EndpointURIEndpointBuilder locally, this method allows the uri to be substituted with a global endpoint name and returns it's builder if this is the case. allow the uri parameter to be either a uri or a global endpoint identifier you need this method.
    
    Each and every call to this method, even if it is for the same uri/global endpoint name will return a new EndpoointBuilder instance.
    
    Parameters:
    uri - endpoint identifier or uri
    
    Throws:
    
    MuleException
