The Groovy component is very similar to Python, Ruby or Java components. The Groovy component provides developers with the facilities to integrate custom scripts into a flow using the Groovy scripting engine.

As an example, you can write a custom script using Groovy language for an application, save it in a separate file and then configure the Groovy component to reference the file. Or, after placing the Groovy component on the Studio canvas you can type in the script through the Groovy Pattern Properties pane.

Place the Groovy component in the message processor region from the Mule palette.

Use the Advanced tab to configure the interceptors and property for the Groovy component.

Interceptors enable the developer to provide additional services to the component, such as the ability to log transactions and the ability to log the time for each transaction.

Configure these parameters to define attribute keys and their associated values. This enables the component to quickly look up a value associated with a key.

Accessing Flow Variable in the Groovy Component

message.getInvocationProperty('myFlowVariable')

OR

message.getProperty('myFlowVariable',org.mule.api.transport.PropertyScope.INVOCATION)

OR

flowVars['myFlowVariable']

Accessing Session Variable in the Groovy Component

message.getSessionProperty('mySessionVariable')

OR

message.getProperty('mySessionVariable',org.mule.api.transport.PropertyScope.SESSION)

OR

sessionVars['mySessionVariable']

Setting a Property in the Groovy Component

Go to the Advanced tab and add a property.
