This chapter helped us know how to create more intelligent services that can route the flow over different ways, depending on the parameters, the URL, headers, and so on. In order to do that, we covered the use of five Enterprise Integrator mediators that are complementary to each other.
The first mediator that we learned to use is the validate mediator, which we will use to check the payload over a schema. This will be very useful when verifying that the incoming request to a service is well formed.
Then, we took a look at the filter and switch mediators, which we use to check the payload, or a part of it, over a regex expression. Evaluating the string response, we can perform different actions in our services with external sequences or inline mediators.
Ultimately, we saw the advanced conditional router and rule mediators, in which we can define a list of rules over...
