Method Detail

getPriorityWeighting

int getPriorityWeighting()

If two or more discoverable transformers are equal, this value can be used to select the correct one

Returns:

the priority weighting for this transformer. This is a value between MIN_PRIORITY_WEIGHTING and MAX_PRIORITY_WEIGHTING.

setPriorityWeighting

void setPriorityWeighting(int weighting)

If 2 or more discoverable transformers are equal, this value can be used to select the correct one

Parameters:

weighting - the priority weighting for this transformer. This is a value between MIN_PRIORITY_WEIGHTING and MAX_PRIORITY_WEIGHTING.

getProcessingType

default ReactiveProcessor.ProcessingType getProcessingType()

Description copied from interface: ReactiveProcessor

In order for Mule to determine the best way to execute different processors based on the chosen ProcessingStrategy it needs to know the type of work the message processor will be performing and if it is ReactiveProcessor.ProcessingType.BLOCKING, ReactiveProcessor.ProcessingType.CPU_INTENSIVE intensive or neither (ReactiveProcessor.ProcessingType.CPU_LITE).

Specified by:

getProcessingType in interface ReactiveProcessor

Specified by:

getProcessingType in interface Transformer

Returns:

the processing type for this processor.
