How to handle errors at processor level in Mule Soft?

To handle errors at processor level in MuleSoft, you can use the following steps:

Add a Try/Catch scope around the processor that you want to handle errors for.
In the Catch scope, add a processor that you want to execute when an error occurs.
Configure the Catch scope to log the error message and/or send an email notification.

Here is an example of how to handle errors at processor level in MuleSoft:

XML

<try>
<my-processor>
...
</my-processor>
</try>
<catch>
<logger level="ERROR">
<message>Error occurred in my-processor processor: ${exception.message}</message>
</logger>
<mail:sendTo>
<to>support@example.com</to>
<subject>Error in my-processor processor</subject>
<body>
Error occurred in my-processor processor: ${exception.message}
</body>
</mail:sendTo>
</catch>

If an error occurs in the my-processor processor, the Catch scope will execute and log the error message and/or send an email notification. The rest of the flow will continue to execute.

You can also use the On Error processor to handle errors at processor level in MuleSoft. The On Error processor can be used to execute a single processor or a list of processors when an error occurs.

Here is an example of how to use the On Error processor to handle errors at processor level in MuleSoft:

XML

<my-processor>
...
</my-processor>
<on-error>
<logger level="ERROR">
<message>Error occurred in my-processor processor: ${exception.message}</message>
</logger>
</on-error>

If an error occurs in the my-processor processor, the On Error processor will execute and log the error message. The rest of the flow will not continue to execute.

By handling errors at processor level, you can ensure that your MuleSoft applications are more resilient and can continue to operate even when errors occur.
