Mule 3 JDBC endpoint exception with sql server

Question

I am trying to insert a String into a SQL Server database using Mule JDBC outbound endpoint. The query is:

INSERT INTO ife VALUES (#[payload:java.lang.String], 0)

The query works when the payload is in a where clause of a select statement and when I hardcode values in place of the payload expression. However, it fails miserably with insert statements like the one listed above. I have included the exception below as well as the flow xml configuration. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

It worked for me when I removed the single quote:

#[payload:java.lang.String]

Answer 2

Perhaps you need to enclose the #[payload:java.lang.String] in single quotes? You can see its trying to issue the query:

INSERT INTO ife VALUES (?, 0);

Which isn't going to work.

INSERT INTO ife VALUES ('#[payload:java.lang.String]', 0)?
