Adding settings to a POJO component in Mule

I have a POJO component which basically contains some Java classes. At this point I have some settings hardcoded (such as some credentials) that I would like to configure somehow in the flow via the Studio GUI.

Is is possible to store somehow in the flow some settings that can easily be read by my POJO component?

Solution

  • I see two options:

    1. Setting the credentials as System Properties using -M-Dproperty in command line and retrieving it from your POJO using java.lang.System.getProperty("property")
    2. Configuring the credentials in a .properties file and retrieve them from the Property placeholder from the Mule Registry. You can implement org.mule.api.context.MuleContextAware perhaps, or a Lookup annotation.
