Transformers Configuration Reference

This page provides details on configuring standard transformers. Note that many transports and modules provide their own transformers as well.

Transformer

A reference to a transformer defined elsewhere.

Attributes of <transformer…​>

Name Type Required Default Description

ref

string

yes

The name of the transformer to use.

Child Elements of <transformer…​>

Name Cardinality Description

Auto transformer

A transformer that uses the transform discovery mechanism to convert the message payload. This transformer works much better when transforming custom object types rather than Java types, because there is less chance for ambiguity.

Attributes of <auto-transformer…​>

Name Type Required Default Description

name

name (no spaces)

no

Identifies the transformer so that other elements can reference it. Required if the transformer is defined at the global level.

returnClass

string

no

The class of the message generated by the transformer. This is used if transformers are auto-selected and to validate that the transformer returns the correct type. Note that if you need to specify an array type you need postfix the class name with '[]'. For example, if you want return a an Orange[], you set the return class to 'org.mule.tck.testmodels.fruit.Orange[]'.

ignoreBadInput

boolean

no

Many transformers only accept certain classes. Such transformers are never called with inappropriate input (whatever the value of this attribute). If a transformer forms part of a chain and cannot accept the current message class, this flag controls whether the remaining part of the chain is evaluated. If true, the next transformer is called. If false the chain ends, keeping the result generated up to that point.
