Field Detail

### INITIAL_STATE_STARTED

    static final String INITIAL_STATE_STARTED

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

### INITIAL_STATE_STOPPED

    static final String INITIAL_STATE_STOPPED

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

Method Detail

### getEndpointURI

    EndpointURI getEndpointURI()

  This specifess the communication endpointUri. This will have a different format depending on the transport protocol being used i.e.
  - smtp -> admin@mycompany.com
  - jms -> shipping.orders.topic
  - sms -> +447910010010

  if an endpointUri is not specifed it will be assumed that it will be determined at run-time by the calling application. The endpointUri can be aliteral endpointUri such as an email address or it can be a logical name for an endpointUri as long as it is declared in a message-endpointUri block. When the message-provider is created the endpointUri is first lookup in the endpointUri registry and if nothing is returned the endpointUri value itself is used.

  Returns:
    the endpointUri on which the endpoint sends or receives data

### getEncoding

    String getEncoding()

  Decides the encoding to be used for events received by this endpoint

  Returns:
    the encoding set on the endpoint or null if no codin has been specified

### getConnector

    Connector getConnector()

  The endpoint that will be used to send the message on. It is important that the endpointUri and the connection correlate i.e. if your endpointUri is a jms queue your connection must be a JMS endpoint.

  Returns:
    the endpoint associated with the endpoint

### getName

    String getName()

  The name is the identifier for the endpoint

  Returns:
    the endpoint name

### getTransformers

    List<Transformer> getTransformers()

  Deprecated. use getMessageProcessors() instead

  Transformers are responsible for transforming data when it is received or sent by the component (depending on whether this endpoint is a receiver or not). A tranformation for an inbound event can be forced by the user by calling the inbound event.getTransformedMessage(). A tranformation for an outbound event is called or when the Service dispatchEvent() or sendEvent() methods are called. If an endpoint has no transformers an empty list is returned.

  Returns:
    the transformers to use when receiving or sending data

### getResponseTransformers

    List<Transformer> getResponseTransformers()

  Deprecated. use getResponseMessageProcessors() instead

  The transformers used when a response is returned from invoking this endpoint. If an endpoint has no response transformers an empty list is returned.

  Returns:
    the transformer to use when receiving the response data

### getProperties

    Map getProperties()

  Returns any properties set on this endpoint

  Returns:
    a map of properties for this endpoint

### getProperty

    Object getProperty(Object key)

  Retrieves a property set on the endpoint

  Parameters:
    `key` - the name of the property
  Returns:
    the property value or null if it does not exist

### getProtocol

    String getProtocol()

  The transport protocol name that the message endpoint communicates over. i.e. jms, sms, smtp etc. The protocol must match that of the associated endpoint

  Returns:
    the protocol name

### isReadOnly

    boolean isReadOnly()

  Returns:
    true if this endpoint is read-only and none of it's properties can change. Global endpoints should be read-only so that unexpected behaviour is avoided.

### getTransactionConfig

    TransactionConfig getTransactionConfig()

  Returns the transaction configuration for this endpoint

  Returns:
    the transaction configuration for this endpoint or null if the endpoint is not transactional

### getFilter

    Filter getFilter()

  The filter to apply to incoming messages. Only applies when the endpoint endpointUri is a receiver

  Returns:
    the Filter to use or null if one is not set

### isDeleteUnacceptedMessages

    boolean isDeleteUnacceptedMessages()

  If a filter is configured on this endpoint, this property will determine if message that are not excepted by the filter are deleted

  Returns:
    true if message should be deleted, false otherwise

### getSecurityFilter

    EndpointSecurityFilter getSecurityFilter()

  Returns an EndpointSecurityFilter for this endpoint. If one is not set, there will be no authentication on events sent via this endpoint

  Returns:
    EndpointSecurityFilter responsible for authenticating message flow via this endpoint.
  See Also:
    `EndpointSecurityFilter`

### getMessageProcessorsFactory

    EndpointMessageProcessorChainFactory getMessageProcessorsFactory()

### getMessageProcessors

    List<MessageProcessor> getMessageProcessors()

### getResponseMessageProcessors

    List<MessageProcessor> getResponseMessageProcessors()

### getExchangePattern

    MessageExchangePattern getExchangePattern()

### getResponseTimeout

    int getResponseTimeout()

  The timeout value for waiting for a response from a remote invocation or back channel. Mule will only wait for a response if the endpoint's message exchange pattern requires a response.

  Returns:
    the timeout in milliseconds

### getInitialState

    String getInitialState()

  Sets the state the endpoint will be loaded in. The States are 'stopped' and 'started' (default)

  Returns:
    the endpoint starting state

### getMuleContext

    MuleContext getMuleContext()

### getRetryPolicyTemplate

    RetryPolicyTemplate getRetryPolicyTemplate()

  The retry policy on the endpoint configures how retries are handled. The behaviour is slightly different for inbound and outbound endpoints. For inbound endpoints the Retry Policy determines how the connection to the underlying transport will be managed if the connection is lost. For outbound endpoints, the Retry Policy will attempt to retry dispatching, sending and receiving an event

  Returns:
    the Policy factory to use when retrying a connection or dispatching an event

### getEndpointBuilderName

    String getEndpointBuilderName()

  The name of the endpoint builder used to create this endpoint. May be used to an endpoints builder for example to recreate endpoints for deserialized events.

### isProtocolSupported

    boolean isProtocolSupported(String protocol)

### getMimeType

    String getMimeType()

  Return the mime type defined for the endpoint, if any

### isDisableTransportTransformer

    boolean isDisableTransportTransformer()
