Class MessageExpressionEvaluator

java.lang.Object
  org.mule.expression.MessageExpressionEvaluator

All Implemented Interfaces:

ExpressionEvaluator, NamedObject

public class MessageExpressionEvaluator
extends Object
implements ExpressionEvaluator

Returns properties on the MuleMessage itself. The supported expressions map directly to methods on the message. For example:

• id - returns the value of MuleMessage.getUniqueId()
• correlationId - returns the value of MuleMessage.getCorrelationId()
• correlationGroupSize - returns the value of MuleMessage.getCorrelationGroupSize()
• correlationSequence - returns the value of MuleMessage.getCorrelationSequence()
• replyTo - returns the value of MuleMessage.getReplyTo()
• payload - returns the value of MuleMessage.getPayload()
• encoding - returns the value of MuleMessage.getEncoding()
• exception - returns the value of MuleMessage.getExceptionPayload().getException() or null if there is no exception payload

If no expression is set the MuleMessage itself will be returned.

If the object passed in is not a MuleMessage, the same object will be returned.
