mule read single file from classpath during flow

Question

Is there an easy way to configure a Flow to read a single file from the classpath one time? I don't need to poll for a file. I just need to read a known file and set its contents as the message payload.

Answer 1

Use the set-payload message processor and a MEL expression:

<set-payload value="#[Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream('my-file.abc')]" />
