Appendix A. Mule Expression Language
The Mule Expression Language (MEL) is based on the MVFLEX Expression Language (MVEL; see http://mvel.codehaus.org/), a hybrid dynamic/statically typed language. We strongly recommend you get acquainted with MVEL by reading its online documentation (http://mvel.codehaus.org/Language+Guide+for+2.0). MEL itself is also extensively documented online (http://mng.bz/g8sM). This appendix is a quick reference guide to Mule-specific features of MEL. It also provides a quick overview on how to customize MEL to implement custom needs.
