MIME Type Metadata Selector (.^mimeType)

Returns the MIME type (without parameters) of a value, for example, application/json, and { “myMimeType” : payload.^mimeType } might return { “myMediaType”: “/” } for an input POJO.

In the following Mule app flow, the Loggers use payload.^mimeType to select a string “my string”, then to select a string that is set within an fx expression (#[“my string as String type” as String]) 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 MIME type of “my string”. –>

<logger level=”INFO” doc:name=”Logger” message=’#[payload.^mimeType]’/>

<!– Set the payload using the fx expression “my string” as String. –>

<set-payload value=’#[“my string as String type” as String]’ doc:name=”Set Payload” />

<!– Select the MIME type of a Java string. –>

<logger level=”INFO” doc:name=”Logger” message=’#[payload.^mimeType]’/>

</flow>

The Studio console output shows that the simple string has the MIME type /, while the string that is set in the fx expression has the MIME type application/java.
