10.3. Adding Transformation to a SwitchYard Application

You can specify transformation of message content in the descriptor of your SwitchYard application (switchyard.xml). The qualified name of the type being transformed from as well as the type being transformed to are defined along with the transformer implementation. This allows transformation to be a declarative aspect of a SwitchYard application, as the runtime automatically registers and executes transformers in the course of a message exchange. Here is an example of message content transformation:

<transforms>
   <transform.java bean="MyTransformerBean"
                   from="{urn:switchyard-quickstart-demo:orders:1.0}submitOrder"
                   to="java:org.switchyard.quickstarts.demos.orders.Order"/>
</transforms>
