  3. First Successful (<first-successful/>)

First Successful (<first-successful/>)

Iterates through a list of configured processing routes until one of the routes executes successfully.

If any processing route fails execution (throws an error), the router executes the next configured route.

If none of the configured routes execute successfully, the First Successful router throws an error.

Component XML

This component supports the following XML structure:

<first-successful

  <!-- First Route -->
  <route>
    <!-- Processors -->
  </route>
  <!-- Second Route -->
  <route>
    <!-- Processors -->
  </route>
</first-successful>

1 The first route executes and fails because it tries to read a file that does not exist.
2 The second route fails because it tries to access a variable that does not exist.
3 The third route executes successfully and sets variable successfulRoute with value 3.
4 The fourth route is not executed because the First Successful router stops executing routes after one of them completes successfully.
