How to Grab Bits and Bytes From a Mule Exception Class
Most of us usually use #[exception] to log errors in our mule flows. Let's see how we can get most out of the exception class in our mule flows.

Join For FreeMost of us usually use #[exception] to log errors in our mule flows. Let's see how can we get most out of the exception class in our mule flows.
Let's take a scenario where we get a connection timeout exception over an http rest call.
Take a closer look at what gets logged using the below MELs when used in the Logger component present a Catch Exception Strategy.
1. Exception- #[exception]
Exception- org.mule.api.MessagingException: Error sending HTTP request.
2. Exception Class- #[exception.getClass()]
Exception Class- class org.mule.api.MessagingException
3. Exception Cause- #[exception.getCause()]
Exception Cause- java.net.ConnectException: Connect timeout
4. Exception Info- #[exception.getInfo()]
Exception Info- {Payload Type=java.lang.String, Element=/sampleFlow1/processors/1 @ sample:sample.xml:16 (HTTP), Payload=, Element XML=<http:request config- ref="HTTP_Request_Configuration" path="/Ok" method="GET" doc:name="HTTP"> </http:request>}
5. Exception Message- #[exception.getMessage()]
Exception Message- Error sending HTTP request.
6. Exception Detailed Message- #[exception.getDetailedMessage()]
Exception Detailed Message-

9. Exception Code- #[exception.getExceptionCode()]
Exception Code- -1
10. Exception Message Code- #[exception.getMessageCode()]
Exception Message Code- -1
11. Get Flow name that generated the Exception-
#[exception.event.flowConstruct.name]
You can actually try all of these in your MELs and get the most out of a mule exception class, so grab the best-suited one for your project.
