Content Length Metadata Selector (.^contentLength)
Returns the content length of the value, if the value is present.
In the following Mule app flow, the Logger uses payload.^contentLength to select the length of the string my string, set in the Set Payload (set-payload) component.
Mule App XML in Anypoint Studio:
<flow name=”setpayloadobjectFlow” >
<scheduler doc:name=”Scheduler” >
<scheduling-strategy >
<fixed-frequency frequency=”15″ timeUnit=”SECONDS”/>
</scheduling-strategy>
</scheduler>
<!– Set the payload to “my string”. –>
<set-payload value='”my string”‘ doc:name=”Set Payload” />
<!– Select the class to which “my string” belongs. –>
<logger level=”INFO” doc:name=”Logger” message=”#[payload.^contentLength]”/>
</flow>
The Studio console output shows that the length of the input string (my string) is eleven (9) characters long. The length includes the blank space in the string.
