Min Eviction Millis

Number

Determines the minimum amount of time an object sits idle in the pool before it is eligible for eviction. When non-positive, no objects are evicted from the pool due to idle time alone.

Eviction Check Interval Millis

  • WHEN_EXHAUSTED_WAIT
    Blocks by invoking Object.wait(long) until a new or idle object is available.

  • WHEN_EXHAUSTED_FAIL
    Throws a NoSuchElementException.

If a positive Max Wait value is supplied, it blocks for, at most, that many milliseconds, after which a NoSuchElementException is thrown. If Max Thread Wait is a negative value, it blocks indefinitely.

  • INITIALISE_ALL
    Loads all components in the pool on startup.

Max Redelivery Count

Number

Maximum number of times that a redelivered request can be processed unsuccessfully before returning a REDELIVERY_EXHAUSTED error.

Message Digest Algorithm

String

Secure hashing algorithm to use if the Use Secure Hash field is true. If the payload of the message is a Java object, Mule ignores this value and returns the value that the payload’s hashCode() returned.

Message Identifier

Redelivery Policy Message Identifier

One or more expressions that determine if a message was redelivered. This property can be set only if the Use Secure Hash field is false.

Object Store

ObjectStore

Configures the object store that stores the redelivery counter for each message.

Redelivery Policy Message Identifier

Configures how to identify a redelivered message and how to find out when the message was redelivered.

Field Type Description Default Value Required

One or more expressions that determine if a message was redelivered. This property can be set only if the Use Secure Hash field is false.

Repeatable File Store Stream

Configures the repeatable file-store streaming strategy by which Mule keeps a portion of the stream content in memory. If the stream content is larger than the configured buffer size, Mule backs up the buffer’s content to disk and then clears the memory.

Field Type Description Default Value Required

In Memory Size

Number

Maximum amount of memory that the stream can use for data. If the amount of memory exceeds this value, Mule buffers the content to disk. To optimize performance:

  • Configure a larger buffer size to avoid the number of times Mule needs to write the buffer on disk. This increases performance, but it also limits the number of concurrent requests your application can process, because it requires additional memory.

  • Configure a smaller buffer size to decrease memory load at the expense of response time.

Buffer Unit

Enumeration, one of:

  • BYTE

  • KB

  • MB

  • GB

Unit for the In Memory Size field.

Repeatable In Memory Stream

Configures the in-memory streaming strategy by which the request fails if the data exceeds the MAX buffer size. Always run performance tests to find the optimal buffer size for your specific use case.

Field Type Description Default Value Required

Initial Buffer Size

Number

Initial amount of memory to allocate to the data stream. If the streamed data exceeds this value, the buffer expands by Buffer Size Increment, with an upper limit of Max In Memory Size value.

Buffer Size Increment

Number

Amount by which the buffer size expands if it exceeds its initial size. Setting a value of 0 or lower specifies that the buffer can’t expand.

Max Buffer Size

Number

The maximum amount of memory to use. If more than that is used then a STREAM_MAXIMUM_SIZE_EXCEEDED error is raised. A value lower than or equal to zero means no limit.

Buffer Unit

Enumeration, one of:

  • BYTE

  • KB

  • MB

  • GB

Unit for the Initial Buffer Size, Buffer Size Increment, and Buffer Unit fields.

SOAP Attributes
