Class MessagePayloadExpressionEvaluator

java.lang.Object
  org.mule.expression.MessagePayloadExpressionEvaluator

All Implemented Interfaces:

ExpressionEvaluator, NamedObject

public class MessagePayloadExpressionEvaluator
extends Object
implements ExpressionEvaluator

Returns the message payload. If the expression is set to a class name then Mule will attempt to transform the payload by discovering the correct transformer(s) in the registry. This is only suited for simple transformations between common types.

#[payload:byte[]]

or

#[payload:org.mule.api.OutputHandler]

If the object passed in is not a MuleMessage, the same object will be returned.
