Class MuleExpressionEvaluator

java.lang.Object
  org.mule.expression.MuleExpressionEvaluator

All Implemented Interfaces:

MuleContextAware, ExpressionEvaluator, NamedObject

Deprecated. MuleExpressionEvaluator is a wrapper of the default expression evaluators which ends up redirecting to the DefaultExpressionManager evaluate method. It has been deprecated since it only provides one more way to accomplish the same result. Instead use the default expression evaluators, for example: #[mule:message.headers(foo, bar)] - replaced by #[headers:foo,bar] #[mule:message.attachments-list(attach1, attach2*)] - replaced by #[attachments-list:attach1,attach2*] #[mule:context.serviceName] - replaced by #[context:serviceName] Check the Expressions configuration reference for more examples of the default expression evaluators syntax.

@Deprecated
public class MuleExpressionEvaluator
extends Object
implements ExpressionEvaluator, MuleContextAware

This evaluator provide a powerful expression language for querying mule information at runtime. It provides a unified language for querying message properties, attachments payload, Mule context information such as the current service or endpoint and access to the registry. Here are some examples: #[mule:message.headers(foo, bar)] - retrieves two headers 'foo' and 'bar' and returns a Map. #[mule:message.attachments-list(attach1, attach2*)] - retrieves two named attachments in a List. The star on 'attach2' indicates that it is optional #[mule:message.headers(all)] - retrieves all headers and returns as a Map. #[mule:message.payload(org.dom4j.Document)] - return the payload and convert it to a org.dom4j.Document. #[mule:message.correlationId] - return the the correlationId on the message #[mule:message.map-payload(foo)] - expects a Map payload object and will retrive a property 'foo' from the map. #[mule.context.serviceName] - returns the current service Name #[mule.context.modelName] - returns the current model Name #[mule.context.workingDir] - returns the working Directory #[mule.context.serverId] - returns the current server ID #[mule.registry.apple] - returns an object called 'apple' from the registry #[mule.registry.apple*] - returns an object called 'apple' from the registry but is optional #[mule.registry.apple.washed] - returns the property 'washed on an object called 'apple' in the registry
