I have a flow which queries SalesForce. The query is wrapped in an enricher. Here is the flow.
<flow name="ProcessEmployee">
<enricher doc:name="Message Enricher" target="#
[variable:IDRec]">
<sfdc:query config-ref="Salesforce_Config"
doc:name="Check if Employee Id exists"
query="select id from employee where
deptId='#[payload["deptId"]]' &&
empId='#[payload["empId"]]'" />
</enricher>
<choice>
<when expression="#[flowVars.IDRec.hasNext()]">
<logger level="INFO"
message="Employee exists, #[payload]" />
</when>
<otherwise>
<logger level="INFO" message="Employee does not exist"/>
</otherwise>
</choice>
</flow>
However, I get the following error
: Execution of the expression "flowVars.IDRec.hasNext()" failed.
(org.mule.api.expression.ExpressionRuntimeException). Message payload is of type: LinkedHashMap
Type: org.mule.api.MessagingException
Code : MULE_ERROR--2
The returned value is a map. You can try this approach,
<choice>
<when expression="#[flowVars.IDRec.size() > 0]">
<logger level="INFO" message="Employee exists, #[payload]" />
</when>
<otherwise>
<logger level="INFO" message="Employee does not exist"/>
</otherwise>
</choice>

The problem statement is to do multiple things parallely and aggregate the response and store it in a file.
link to the mule flow image as in studio:

In this flow, what I was trying to do was to set two constant strings in two branches of scatter and gather and aggregate and store in file. I tried overwriting the payload with a "set payload" with "my response". I am expecting "my response" as the content of the file. But instead the file content is:
¨Ìsr)java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayListx]ü’F´ê√xpwtmsg 1tmsg 2x
I did debug and the payload at File endpoint was "my response". How and why is the collection getting written into file.
Can anyone help me to get it working.
Following is the xml:
<flow name="mule-assignFlow21123">
<quartz:inbound-endpoint jobName="dummyflow" repeatInterval="10000" responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="Quartz">
<quartz:event-generator-job/>
</quartz:inbound-endpoint>
<scatter-gather doc:name="Scatter-Gather1" >
<threading-profile maxThreadsActive="1" poolExhaustedAction="RUN"/>
<processor-chain>
<set-payload value="msg 1" doc:name="Set Payload"/>
<logger level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
</processor-chain>
<processor-chain>
<set-payload value="msg 2" doc:name="Set Payload"/>
<logger level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
</processor-chain>
</scatter-gather>
<set-payload value="my response" doc:name="Set Payload"/>
<file:outbound-endpoint path="/Users/premkumar/Desktop" outputPattern="Results.txt" responseTimeout="10000" mimeType="text/plain" doc:name="Save 2 File"/>
</flow>
The flow will automatically determine the processingStrategy from the in-flight event which will be async because of the quartz endpoint, so the file endpoint will fire async also.
Instead explicitly set the flow's processingStrategy to synchronous:
<flow name="mule-assignFlow21123" processingStrategy="synchronous">
<quartz:inbound-endpoint jobName="dummyflow" repeatInterval="10000" responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="Quartz">
<quartz:event-generator-job/>
</quartz:inbound-endpoint>
<scatter-gather doc:name="Scatter-Gather1" >
<threading-profile maxThreadsActive="1" poolExhaustedAction="RUN"/>
<processor-chain>
<set-payload value="msg 1" doc:name="Set Payload"/>
<logger level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
</processor-chain>
<processor-chain>
<set-payload value="msg 2" doc:name="Set Payload"/>
<logger level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
</processor-chain>
</scatter-gather>
<set-payload value="my response" doc:name="Set Payload"/>
<file:outbound-endpoint path="/Users/premkumar/Desktop" outputPattern="Results.txt" responseTimeout="10000" mimeType="text/plain" doc:name="Save 2 File"/>
I want to move files to location D:\target dynamically from the query select filepath from emp where status='y':
This is my table:
emp_Name File Path File Name Status
ABC D:\emp abc.txt y
xyz D:\emp xyz.txt y
bcs D:\emp bcs.txt n
Following is my source code :
<flow name="testdbFlow1">
<http:listener config-ref="HTTP_Listener_Configuration"
path="/" doc:name="HTTP" />
<jdbc-ee:outbound-endpoint queryKey="allEmps"
queryTimeout="-1" connector-ref="JDBCConnector" exchange-pattern="request-response"
doc:name="Database" />
<foreach doc:name="Foreach">
<choice doc:name="Choice">
<when expression="#[payload.status == 'Y']">
<processor-chain doc:name="Processor Chain">
<set-variable variableName="filePath" value="#[payload.filepath]"
doc:name="Variable" />
<set-variable variableName="filename" value="#[payload.filename]"
doc:name="Variable" />
<logger message="#[filePath]" level="INFO"
doc:name="Logger" />
<logger message="#[filename]"
level="INFO" doc:name="Logger" />
<file:inbound-endpoint path="#[filePath]" name="input" doc:name="File"
pollingFrequency="12000" responseTimeout="10000"> <file:filename-wildcard-filter
pattern="#[filename]" /> </file:inbound-endpoint>
<file:outbound-endpoint name="output" path="D:\target" doc:name="File"/>
</processor-chain>
</when>
<otherwise>
<processor-chain doc:name="Processor Chain">
<set-variable variableName="filePath" value="#[payload.filepath]"
doc:name="Variable" />
<set-variable variableName="filename" value="#[payload.filename]"
doc:name="Variable" />
<logger message="#[filePath]" level="INFO"
doc:name="Logger" />
<logger message="#[filename]"
level="INFO" doc:name="Logger" />
</processor-chain>
</otherwise>
</choice>
</foreach>
</flow>
But it's not working.
Inbound doesn't work out of the box in the middle of the flow. I would suggest a simpler solution using Groovy because you know exactly the file you need to consume.
Instead of using file:inbound create a input stream manually:
<set-payload value="#[groovy: new java.io.FileInputStream(new java.io.File(filename))]"/>
You will have to delete the file with another groovy script after consumed.
According to the following ticket: https://www.mulesoft.org/jira/browse/MULE-6427 For NullPayload I should be able to use :
<when expression="#[payload == null]">
but that doesn't work. It fails. I am using Mule 3.5.1
Here is an example flow:
<flow name="testNull">
<poll frequency="10000">
<logger />
</poll>
<set-payload value="#[org.mule.transport.NullPayload.getInstance()]" />
<choice>
<when expression="#[payload == null]">
<logger level="ERROR" message="NullPayload is same as null" />
</when>
<otherwise>
<logger level="ERROR" message="Doesnt work" />
</otherwise>
</choice>
</flow>
This will always print 'Doesn't work'. However message.payload == null works. Whats the difference between "payload" and "message.payload"?
There seems to be an issue with the #[payload] alias. Use the real thing and it will work: #[message.payload].
I was exploring Mule scatter-gather for parallel processing of flows in Mule fork and join pattern. My Mule config is as follows:
<flow name="fork" doc:name="fork">
<http:inbound-endpoint host="localhost" port="8090" path="mainPath" exchange-pattern="request-response" doc:name="HTTP"/>
<set-property propertyName="MULE_CORRELATION_GROUP_SIZE" value="2" doc:name="Property"/>

<flow-ref name="Flow1" doc:name="Flow Reference"/>
</async>
</processor-chain>
<async doc:name="Async">
<set-property propertyName="MULE_CORRELATION_SEQUENCE" value="2" doc:name="Property"/>
<flow-ref name="Flow2" doc:name="Flow Reference"/>
</async>
<!-- </all> -->
</scatter-gather>
<logger message="Main Flow" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
</flow>
<sub-flow name="Flow1" doc:name="Flow1">

The scatter and gather is throwing following exception though I am getting the aggregated Payload in Logger:

One interesting fact is that if I use <all> router instead of scatter-gather, I don't get this exception. but I guess <all> router process the flows sequentially and not in parallel as per Mule documentation. So for that reason I tried to choose scatter-gather over all router. But I am not sure how to handle the above exception thrown by the scatter-gather. Is there any way out?

Now as you can see it's not combining the both payload of both flow after removing the set-property ..... It is getting only payload of first flow :- Combined Payload: [Flow1 Payload] ..
Remove the async scope around the message processors in the scatter-gather, which indeed does the parallelization for you so you don't have to.
EDIT: Also remove the set-property message processors that deal with the MULE_CORRELATION properties. The scatter-gather is supposed to do that for you.
EDIT2: You can remove the processor-chain around the single flow-ref: it's useless.
Also, there seem to be a deep misunderstanding about what scatter-gather does: you forcefully make its sub-flow responses converge to a single Join-Flow where you aggregate stuff, effectively by-passing and re-implementing all what the scatter-gather proposes to do for you.
Remove the flow-refs towards Join-Flow, remove Join-Flow and just put its processing logic (not the aggregator) after the scatter-gather.
So as per David's suggestion the final working solution is :-
<flow name="fork" doc:name="fork">
<http:inbound-endpoint host="localhost" port="8090" path="scattergather" exchange-pattern="request-response" doc:name="HTTP"/>
<scatter-gather timeout="6000">
<!-- Calling Flow1 -->
<flow-ref name="Flow1" doc:name="Flow Reference"/>
<!-- Calling Flow2 -->
<flow-ref name="Flow2" doc:name="Flow Reference"/>
</scatter-gather>
<!-- <collection-aggregator timeout="6000" failOnTimeout="true" doc:name="Collection Aggregator"/>
<combine-collections-transformer doc:name="Combine Collections"/> -->
<logger level="INFO" message="Combined Payload: #[message.payload]" doc:name="Logger"/>
<logger level="INFO" message="Payload1: #[message.payload[0]] and Payload2: #[message.payload[1]] " doc:name="Logger"/>
<set-payload value="Done Merging ...!!!" doc:name="Set Payload"/>
<logger message="Back to Main Flow" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
</flow>
<sub-flow name="Flow1" doc:name="Flow1">
<logger level="INFO" message="Flow1: processing started" doc:name="Logger"/>
<set-payload value="Flow1 Payload" doc:name="Set Payload"/>
<logger level="INFO" message="Flow1: processing finished" doc:name="Logger"/>
</sub-flow>
<sub-flow name="Flow2" doc:name="Flow2">
<logger level="INFO" message="Flow2: processing started" doc:name="Logger"/>
<!-- Sleep function to delay the flow2 payload -->
<set-payload value="Flow2 Payload" doc:name="Set Payload"/>
<scripting:component doc:name="Groovy">
<scripting:script engine="Groovy"><![CDATA[sleep(3000); return message.payload;]]></scripting:script>
</scripting:component>
<logger level="INFO" message="Flow2: processing finished" doc:name="Logger"/>
</sub-flow>
</mule>
In Mule flow how can I re-use choice-exception-stretegy across several flows?
I tried the following, but it throws error when I run mule application.
<mule ....>
<choice-exception-strategy doc:name="My_exception_strategy">
<catch-exception-strategy when="exception.causedBy(java.net.SocketTimeoutException)" doc:name="Strategy1">
<logger message="message 1" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
</catch-exception-strategy>
<catch-exception-strategy when="exception.causedBy(java.lang.Throwable)" doc:name="Strategy2">
<logger message="message 2" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
</catch-exception-strategy>
</choice-exception-strategy>
<flow name="Test1" doc:name="Test1" processingStrategy="synchronous">
<logger message="message 3" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
<outbound-endpoint ref="myendpoint" doc:name="MyEndPoint"/>
<exception-strategy ref="My_exception_strategy" doc:name="Reference Exception Strategy"/>
<set-variable variableName="somevalue" value="#[something]" doc:name="statusCode"/>
</flow>
</mule>
There are two issues with the config you have posted.
There is a "set-variable" after the exception strategy. No other processors are expected after the "exception-strategy".
The exception strategy is not named. The attribute "name" is missing for the exception strategy.
Try the following flow .
<mule ....>
<choice-exception-strategy name="my_exception_strategy" doc:name="My_exception_strategy">
<catch-exception-strategy when="exception.causedBy(java.net.SocketTimeoutException)" doc:name="Strategy1">
<logger message="message 1" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
</catch-exception-strategy>
<catch-exception-strategy when="exception.causedBy(java.lang.Throwable)" doc:name="Strategy2">
<logger message="message 2" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
</catch-exception-strategy>
</choice-exception-strategy>
<flow name="Test1" doc:name="Test1" processingStrategy="synchronous">
<logger message="message 3" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
<outbound-endpoint ref="myendpoint" doc:name="MyEndPoint"/>
<exception-strategy ref="my_exception_strategy" doc:name="Reference Exception Strategy"/>
</flow>
</mule>
Hope this helps.
