Property Mediator

The property mediator has no direct impact on the message but rather on the message context flowing through Synapse. The properties set on a message can be later retrieved through the synapse:get-property(prop-name) XPath extension function. If a scope is specified for a property, the property could be set as a transport header property or an (underlying) Axis2 message context property, or as a Axis2 client option. If a scope is not specified, it will default to the Synapse message context scope. Using the property element with action specified as "remove" you can remove any existing message context properties.
