Hi Hiranja, I have now implemented a class mediator that parses the (multiple) syslog plain text messages and makes an XML payload from them. I've also got an iterate mediator that splits the messages and sends them individually as JMS messages to the messaging provider. So far so good...
However, the individual JMS messages are now in XML form rather than plain text (with all the XML headers that I don't want). How can I get just the plain text payload to be sent? Thanks Peter ===================== 1.

You should probably apply some kind of a content transformation to transform this payload into a XML payload with multiple "text" elements (one per each syslog message). But I'm not sure whether traditional techniques like XSLT and XQuery support that kind of transformations. After all you're trying to transform based on XML text and not the XML nodes. That's almost always very difficult. IMO you're better off writing a custom mediator to do this transformation. Then you can use the iterate mediator to split the message into its constituents and send to the JMS queue. An even more elegant solution would be to write a custom message builder that knows how to parse the incoming batch requests and construct a proper XML payload out of it.
