Properties Configuration Reference

This page provides detailed reference information for property elements in Mule. The information below is pulled directly from the XSD.

Global property

A global property is a named string. It can be inserted in most attribute values using standard (ant-style) Spring placeholders.

Table 1. Attributes of <global-property…>
Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
name	name (no spaces)	yes		The name of the property. This is used inside Spring placeholders.
value	string	yes		The value of the property. This replaces each occurrence of a Spring placeholder.

Property

Sets a Mule property. This is a name/value pair that can be set on components, services, etc., and which provide a generic way of configuring the system. Typically, you shouldn’t need to use a generic property like this, since almost all functionality is exposed via dedicated elements. However, it can be useful in configuring obscure or overlooked options and in configuring transports from the generic endpoint elements.
