Question

Using Mule 3.2.1, I want to pass a Mule Message or Mule Event to an object configured as a spring:bean. For example:

<spring:bean id="myId" class="com.address.className"/>
...
<flow name="flowName">
    <component>
        <spring-object bean="myId"/>
    </component>
</flow>

‘className’ looks like this:

public class className implements MessageProcessor {
    @Override
    public MuleEvent process(MuleEvent event) throws MuleException {...}
}

The process method is never called though, and there are no errors in the mule log. What am I missing to get my bean to receive the Mule data?

Answer 1

Use <custom-processor class="com.address.className" /> instead.
