Mule has many endpoints, components, etc. for example like http:rest-service-component. How do I know what source component that is so I can try to figure out how to create a custom transformer or something.
That is the higher level question that helps me now and in the future. The lower level one is that I have a REST endpoint and I am trying to map the payload of that incoming to put it in the payload of the rest-service-component request and then need to get info in the body of the response to set the status code of the response on my inbound endpoint. I figure I will just use custom transformers.
sidenote:
All of this programming in xml is just wrong(mule is wrong)...if they want dynamic, just use groovy and keep deploying the new groovy script(which is not the way I would go but better than mule as I could actually debug it with a debugger). They even have choice statements(ie. if...else if...else if) in xml AND inheritance in xml....it's like re-inventing OO in xml.....who dreamed of this stuff. Of course the biggest issue is I asked around and everyone I talked to says it is 3-5 times less productive to use mule compared to java...oh joy.
