Smooks Mediator

The Smooks Mediator can be used to apply lightweight transformations on messages in an efficient manner. Smooks is a powerful framework for processing, manipulating and transforming XML. More information about Smooks can be obtained from the official Smooks website.

The Smooks Mediator requires the transformation definition to be passed in as an external resource. This transformation can be specified as a local entry or be stored in the registry. The mediator UI enables you to point the mediator to an existing local entry or a registry resource.

Example

<smooks [config-key="string"]>
<input [type="|text|xml"]  [regex="regex"]/>
<output [type="|text|xml"]  [regex="regex"] [property="string"] [action="string"]/>
</smooks>
