Queries on payload swap bean

[former_member207701]

Hello Experts,

i am trying to understand the payload swap bean and i want to know how do we get the attributes for doing a particular swap.

for eg : i have attachment with name test1.txt and i guess the main payload will be maindocument(correct me if i am wrong).

so in this case if i want to swap then i understand that:

for attribute payload-name = test1.tx /.txt .

for attribute content-type = text / xml

are the above attributes correct ?

and what are the attributes payload-description / content-description /content -disposition ?where can i get these values for doing a particular swap ?

Screenshot would help a lot.

Thanks for your support

The PayloadSwapBean does not actually swap the main payload with an attachment. You can see it more as a pointer. When you use the PayloadSwapBean, the following Modules (like MessageTransformBean) work on the selected attachment. The order of the Main Payload and the attachments are not changed with it. When you want to change the main payload with an attachment, you have to write an adapter module by yourself.

Stefan ,

Thanks a lot for your reply!

ok so if you tell that it acts as a pointer , then lets take a scenario where i am getting payload as an txt file and xml as attachment if i don't use swap bean then off course it fails inmapping because in mapping its expecting a xml file but we got txt file , in case if i use swap bean then xml file will come as input in message mapping ..dosn't it mean that the payload is swapped in attachment .

I am just going through all standard modules to understand correctly.

And can you please let me know where can i find the attributes payload-description & content-description content-disposition ?

Hi Kiran,

• Content type you can find it when you open the message in message monitor.

• Payload name you can find it under Message Content tab.

Thanks for all your inputs.

Hello Kiran,

Most of the time payloadswapbean is used, when there is no transformation involved and you want to drop the attached file directly into some folder. In fact, if you want to have modification to the attached content, then it is suggested to use, Read attachment check box, present in your operation mapping.

This will help you read the attachment content. You can go through the below blog for more info on it -

Hi Nitin,

I think you didnt understand my query .

Payload swap bean has totaly of four parameters payload-name , content-type , Content-description and payload-description.

My query was how to swap using attributes content-description and payload-description ??

As praveen showed we can find value of content-type and payload-name from message editor. same way where can i find the values for  Content-description and payload-description.
