Message Processors
Mule Runtime Engine versions 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 reached End of Life |
After Mule receives a message from a Message Source, it uses one or more message processors to process the message through a flow.
Message Processors can be categorized by function as follows:
-
Components are flexible tools which perform business logic implemented in Java and other scripting languages.
-
Filters only allow certain messages to continue to be processed in a flow.
-
Routers control message flow to route, resequence, or split and aggregate messages in a flow.
-
Scopes wrap other messages processors so as to enable them to perform together as a group.
-
Transformers convert message payload type and data format to facilitate communication between systems.
Note: Only use message processors after a Router.
