public MuleEvent[] process(MuleEvent event)
                    throws MessagingException

Description copied from interface: InboundRouter

A received MuleEvent is passed to this method for processing. The router can control processing by either 1. passing back a null to indicate that the router has either discarded the event of the event has been stored for further processing. A reaosn for storing the event might be that other events in it's correlation group are expected to be received. 2. Pass back an array of one or more events to be processed by the service. Often 1 event is returned, i.e. in the case of event aggregation. The router may return an array of events if a set of events have been resequenced or multiple events have been generated from a single event.

Specified by:

process in interface InboundRouter

Overrides:

process in class SelectiveConsumer

Parameters:

event - the event received by the inbound endpoint before it is passed to the service

Returns:

null to indicate the event has been stored/destroyed or an array of events to be processed by the service

Throws:

MessagingException - if an error occurs during processing of the event
