Mule:Expression filter not working - mule

Having a requirment to filter a message if some session variable is false or true
flow.xml
<spring:beans>
<spring:bean id="serviceBean" class="com.uidai.ServiceBean"/>
</spring:beans>
<flow name="messagefilterFlow1" doc:name="messagefilterFlow1">
<file:inbound-endpoint responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="File" path="D:/sample" />
<invoke object-ref="serviceBean" method="enrichFilter" doc:name="Invoke" methodArguments="#[sessionVars],#[message]"/>
<logger level="INFO" message="#[sessionVars['filter']]" doc:name="Logger"/>
<!--<message-property-filter pattern="#[sessionVars['filter']]=true" caseSensitive="true" doc:name="Message Property"/>-->
<expression-filter expression="#[sessionVars['filter']]" doc:name="Expression"/>
<file:outbound-endpoint responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="File" path="D:/sample2"/>
</flow>
Service bean method
public void enrichFilter(MessagePropertyMapContext mapContext, MessageContext messageContext){
mapContext.put("filter", false);
System.out.println("mapContext" + mapContext);
System.out.println("message Context:::" + messageContext);
}
Reading a file from inbound and setting a session variable in spring bean method. Wanted to filter the message on basis of filter value so that if filter value is true outbound file is not written and message is filtered. Even if filter value is true or false a lock is hold on file by inbound endpoint and processing stops.

I can't reproduce on 3.5.2.
I suggest you to put a breakpoint in ExpressionFilter.class in the method accept() to realize why the line return muleContext.getExpressionManager().evaluateBoolean(expr, message, nullReturnsTrue, !nullReturnsTrue); is always returning false for you.
Another suggestion to leverage the lesser amount of magic possible is to prepend return to your filter expression and/or implement a java filter by implementing the Filter interfance and then using the custom-filter element.

How to capture an exception using the regex-filter filter in Mule ESB

Currently I have a flow that exposes a REST service with a string as input parameter . I am using a regex -filter to ensure the format parameter as follows :
<http:inbound-endpoint doc:name="HTTP"
connector-ref="ciuServiceHTTPConnector" ref="ciuServiceHTTPEndpoint"
exchange-pattern="request-response" />
<logger level="INFO" doc:name="Logger" message="epale1 #[payload]"/>
<regex-filter pattern="^/api/person/(V|E)[0-9]{8}$"
doc:name="Regex" />
<logger message="epale2 #[payload]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
<jersey:resources doc:name="REST" >
<component class="...resource.CiudadanoResource"/>
</jersey:resources>
I need to send the customer a message "Invalid or missing parameter" . For this I use a choice-exception-strategy and catch-exception-strategy and then call a Subflow and perform http:response-builder.
How can I throw an exception(type) when the regex-filter do not match?. It is possible to incorporate this behavior or should I change my flow?
Thanks for your help;
Wrap it in a message-filter, like this:
<message-filter throwOnUnaccepted="true">
<regex-filter pattern="^/api/person/(V|E)[0-9]{8}$"
doc:name="Regex" />
</message-filter>
See the official documentation for further details:
Check the Throw On Unaccepted box to throw an exception if a message
or event is not handled. The default when not checked is to not throw
an exception.

Get message inbound properties

im having trouble getting message inbound properties, somehow its coming as null, here is the code:
<scripting:transformer name="noopLoggingTransformer">
<scripting:script engine="groovy">
log.info "${message.getInboundProperty('user-agent')}"
muleContext.client.dispatch('vm://log-request.in', message)
message
</scripting:script>
</scripting:transformer>
<pattern:web-service-proxy name="service" transformer-refs="noopLoggingTransformer" inboundAddress="${serverName}/services/Logradouros/LogradouroServico" outboundAddress="${targetServer}/servicos/v2/service.svc" wsdlFile="LogradouroServicos.wsdl">
</pattern:web-service-proxy>
<jdbc-ee:postgresql-data-source name="WSA" user="${database.user}" password="${database.pass}" url="${database.url}" transactionIsolation="UNSPECIFIED" doc:name="PostgreSQL Data Source">
</jdbc-ee:postgresql-data-source>
<jdbc-ee:connector name="jdbcConnector" dataSource-ref="WSA" validateConnections="false" transactionPerMessage="true" queryTimeout="10" pollingFrequency="10000" doc:name="JDBC">
<jdbc-ee:query key="wsadb" value="insert into inbound_messages (payload, timestamp, agent, ip_from, endpoint, soap_operation) values ('', now(), #[groovy: return message.getInboundProperty('user-agent').toString()], #[groovy: return message.getInboundProperty('MULE_REMOTE_CLIENT_ADDRESS').toString()], #[groovy: return message.getInboundProperty('http.request').toString()], '');"></jdbc-ee:query>
</jdbc-ee:connector>
<flow name="log-request" doc:name="log-request">
<vm:inbound-endpoint path="log-request.in" />
<logger message="#[message.inboundProperties['user-agent']]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
<jdbc-ee:outbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="one-way" queryKey="wsadb" responseTimeout="10000" queryTimeout="-1" connector-ref="jdbcConnector" doc:name="Persist raw message" />
</flow>
What it prints out is "null" and i dont know how to make it print the property from message...
No need to use Groovy:
<logger message="#[message.inboundProperties['user-agent']]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
But your bigger issue is that you are not propagating the inbound properties to the outbound scope prior to dispatching to vm://log-request.in.
You need to propagate the properties you want to carry forward:
<scripting:transformer name="noopLoggingTransformer">
<scripting:script engine="groovy">
def props = [:]
props['User-Agent'] = message.getProperty('User-Agent', org.mule.api.transport.PropertyScope.INBOUND)
muleContext.client.dispatch('vm://log-request.in', payload, props)
message
</scripting:script>
</scripting:transformer>
Of course, you can iterate the inbound property names to copy them all.
Property name is User-Agent and as David pointed out, #message.inboundProperties['User-Agent']] is the MEL way to get it.
Did you make sure User-Agent property is set on the mule message when you're trying to access it. It's not always there
Remember inbound properties are not propagated unless you copy property manually like by
<copy-properties propertyName="*"/>

Mule: No Receiver registered error during Functional Test case run

I was trying to develop a Functional Test case for my mule configuration. Here is the code:
protected String getConfigResources() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return "src/test/resources/employee-get-functionalTestCase-config.xml";
}
#Test
public void testMessage() throws Exception {
MuleClient client = muleContext.getClient();
client.dispatch("vm://in", "70009", null);
MuleMessage result = client.request("vm://out", 60000);
Assert.assertNotNull("Response payload was null", result);
Assert.assertNull(result.getExceptionPayload());
Assert.assertFalse(result.getPayload() instanceof NullPayload);
& here is the context of my XMl file:
<spring:beans>
<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:mule-app.properties"/>
</spring:beans>
<flow name="testFlow">
<vm:inbound-endpoint path="in"/>
<logger message="in functional-test-config.xml (v4)" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
<set-payload value="70010" doc:name="Use fixed employeeId 70010"/>
<vm:outbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" path="employee-profile-get" doc:name="VM"/>
<logger message="after employee-profile-get; payload: #[payload]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
<vm:outbound-endpoint path="out"/>
</flow>
However when I execute this code, I get the following error:
org.mule.api.transport.NoReceiverForEndpointException: There is no receiver registered on connector "connector.VM.mule.default" for endpointUri vm://employee-profile-get
Where do I register the vm endpoint?
You must have an inbound endpoint for every exchange-pattern="request-response" vm endpoint .
When the application is run in your mule studio you may not get any error(at compile time ) but when the message is passed through the flow you will get an error of the above mentioned sort .
This is because VM is an in-memory queue ,where once you put a message, there should be a receiver to pick the message thus when not there this error pops and it is only for the exchange-pattern="request-response" because the flow from where you put the message(outbound endpoint with request-response) will wait for a response from the vm endpoint "employee-profile-get" .
To depict the same error replace the with a localhost http endpoint and try invoking the http endpoint .
To avoid this create another flow with inbound endpoint as vm with path="employee-profile-get" and return a string using set payload component .Then your test case would work.

How can I overwrite the payload in mule

I've a Soap request coming into mule flow. Am tasked with getting information out of payload and depending on outcome, push the original request to different jms queues.
To get the desired information out of payload, I'm using XSLT tranformer (not XPath, because I need to get IDREF attribute from an element, based on IDREF, get the element and then a child element out of the IDREF object).
Based on the outcome of the of XSLT tranformation, I use choice element to push original payload. Am storing original payload in a Session (can do it in Inbound as well). After XSLT tansformation, apply choice router to find out appropriate queue, and then want to push the original payload into queue(original payload in stored in a session variable). I am using <expression-component> element. Below is the snippet of mule-flow:
<flow name="ProcessXML121Order">
<jms:inbound-endpoint queue="mviq.121.order" exchange-pattern="one-way" />
<logger message="121 order payload is #[payload]" level="INFO" />
<message-properties-transformer scope="session">
<add-message-property key="mviPayload" value="#[payload]"/>
</message-properties-transformer>
<xm:xslt-transformer xsl-file="chooseVendor.xslt" />
<logger message="After xsl file payload is #[payload]" level="INFO" />
<choice>
<when expression="'EMSI'">
<logger message="Vendor is EMSI" level="INFO" />
<expression-component>payload=#[header:SESSION:mviPayload]</expression-component>
<jms:outbound-endpoint queue="mviq.121.order.emsi" />
</when>
<when expression="'PRMD'">
<logger message="Vendor is PRMD" level="INFO" />
<jms:outbound-endpoint queue="mviq.121.order.prmd" />
</when>
<when expression="'RSA'">
<logger message="Vendor is RSA" level="INFO" />
<logger message="RSA payload is #[payload]" level="INFO" />
<jms:outbound-endpoint queue="mviq.121.order.rsa" />
</when>
<otherwise>
<logger message="Vendor is Error" level="INFO" />
<logger message="Vendor error payload is #[payload]" level="INFO" />
<jms:outbound-endpoint queue="mviq.error" />
</otherwise>
</choice>
</flow>

I've 2 questions:
How can I overwrite the original payload? (Not saying this is the best way to go)
What is the better approach in this scenario? Is it advisable to keep original payload intact (in this case) and store XSLT output in other variable? How can I do that? What is the path (mule component) I can use to achieve that? I'm very new to Mule and seek community advice.
Thanks for your time looking into this.
Before answering your questions, let's rewrite this broken expression:
<expression-component>payload=#[header:SESSION:mviPayload]</expression-component>
as:
<set-payload value="#[sessionVars.mviPayload]" />
The following would work too but would be more complex for no good reason:
<expression-component>payload=sessionVars.mviPayload</expression-component>
Also this:
<message-properties-transformer scope="session">
<add-message-property key="mviPayload" value="#[payload]"/>
</message-properties-transformer>
would be better written:
<set-session-variable variableName="mviPayload" value="#[message.payload]" />
Now to your questions:
Use set-payload
What you are doing is the best: transformers, like XSL-T, applies naturally to the current message payload so saving the original in a property then transforming the main payload is OK. Just one thing: prefer a flow variable instead of a session variable. Indeed, in your case, I don't think you need the original payload outside this flow, so storing in session is overkill.
So I suggest you use:
<set-variable variableName="mviPayload" value="#[message.payload]" />
to store the original payload and the following to re-establish it:
<set-payload value="#[mviPayload]" />
Use Set-Payload and provide the data to be overwritten.
You could do this with lot of ways.
Use set-payload
Use expression, #[payload='']
Use an transformer/component
You can keep the payload intact and store the value of the xslt transformation in a variable using message enricher. Use the variable inside choice to determine which queue to go to. Below is a code snippet
<enricher doc:name="Message Enricher" target="#[flowVars.transformResultVar]">
<!--perform transformation logic here-->
</enricher>

mule weird flow behavior

I'm using mule 3.2.0 and
I'm invoking muleclient.send method in java-class which sends soap-request to a mule flow(not present here), which sends it to the http endpoint which receives request, logs it to my db with proxy pattern and propagates it to "ServiceFlow" which has Dispatcher transformer - java class, which uses invocation of MuleClient.send(String url, Object payload, Map messageProperties) method to dispatch one object of the payload array to an endpoint.
Then it gets processed by cxf:jax-ws-client, logged to a db once again and transferred to another instance of Dispatcher (where incoming payload is again of type Object[]). There I have http endpoint which does the service invocation. This part works okay.
But trouble appears at the receiving of the response. I've put Test1(2,3,4) transformers to print the invocation chain in my flows (They just do the System.out.println()), and saw that they're invoked in a weird sequence: I have it like 1,3 then TestTransformer (which is also the sysouter) then I get the error "NullPayload" in the caller of the main flow "Service flow" and then I receive the Test 4 and Test 2 outs. The responseTransformer-refs in patterns "1Proxy" are ignored, so as in "ServiceProxy". I've been looking for the solution for like a week now, and can't find it. In debugging, I can see that transformer called "TestTransformer" in has expected payload (Object[]) but when I receive it in my class caller, it appears as "NullPayload". I can see now that one of my endpoints has the path element instead of ref, not sure if this cause any impact on flow, but will check it. Also tried to use the "response" block to ensure my flow runs as expected. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks
Here is what my config looks like:
<http:endpoint name="httpService" address="${service.soap}" exchange-pattern="request-response" responseTimeout="${timeout}" />
<vm:endpoint name="vmService" path="vmService" exchange-pattern="request-response"/>
<pattern:web-service-proxy
name="ServiceProxy"
inboundEndpoint-ref="httpService"
transformer-refs="to-string logging"
responseTransformer-refs="to-string logging"

<flow name="logService">
<vm:inbound-endpoint path="vm.logService exchange-pattern="request-response"/>
<custom-transformer class="Test1"/>
<vm:outbound-endpoint ref="vm1In">
<cxf:jaxws-client

enableMuleSoapHeaders="false"/>
<object-to-string-transformer/>
</vm:outbound-endpoint>
<object-to-xml-transformer>
<xm:xml-to-object-transformer returnClass="pkg.WSResponseClass"/>
<custom-transformer class="Test2"/>
</flow>
<flow name="DispatcherToServiceFlow">
<custom-transformer class="Test3"/>
<vm:inbound-endpoint path="vm1.Out"/>
<custom-transformer class="pkg.Dispatcher">
<spring:property name="vmFlowPath" value="vm.import"/>
</custom-transformer>
</flow>
<flow name="import">
<vm:inbound-endpoint path="vm.import" exchange-pattern="request-response"/>
<http:outbound-endpoint address="${importService}" responseTimeout="${timeout}" exchange-pattern="request-response" />
<object-to-string-transformer/>
<custom-transformer class="Test4"/>
</flow>
well, my problem really was the "path" element instead of referring to an existing vm endpoint with "ref" element like
<inbound-endpoint ref="vm1Out"/>
