POJOCommand Mediator

The POJOCommand (or Command) Mediator creates an instance of the specified command class, which may implement the org.apache.synapse.Command interface or should have a public void method public void execute(). If any properties are specified, the corresponding setter methods are invoked on the class before each message is executed. It should be noted that a new instance of the POJOCommand class is created to process each message. After execution of the POJOCommand Mediator, depending on the action attribute of the property, the new value returned by a call to the corresponding getter method is stored back to the message or to the context.

The action attribute may specify whether this behavior is expected or not via the Read, Update and ReadAndUpdate properties.

Syntax

<pojoCommand name="class-name">
   (
   <property name="string" value="string"/> |
   <property name="string" context-name="literal" [action=(ReadContext | UpdateContext | ReadAndUpdateContext)]>
    (either literal or XML child)
   </property> |
   <property name="string" expression="xpath" [action=(ReadMessage | UpdateMessage | ReadAndUpdateMessage)]/>
   ) *
 </pojoCommand>
