Accessing integration node properties from the JavaCompute node

For each integration node, IBM® Integration Bus maintains a set of properties. You can access some of these properties from your Java™ programs. It can be useful, during the run time of your code, to have real-time access to details of a specific node, flow, or integration node.

About this task

Integration node properties are divided into four categories:
  • Properties that relate to a specific node
  • Properties that relate to nodes in general
  • Properties that relate to a message flow
  • Properties that relate to the integration server

Integration node properties that are accessible from ESQL, the Mapping node, and Java includes a table that shows the groups of properties that are accessible from Java. The table also indicates if the properties are accessible from ESQL.

Integration node properties have the following characteristics.
  • They are grouped by integration node, integration server, flow, and node.
  • They are case sensitive. Their names always start with an uppercase letter.
  • They return NULL if they do not contain a value.
To access integration node properties in a JavaCompute node, call methods on the following classes:
  • MbBroker
  • MbExecutionGroup
  • MbMessageFlow
  • MbNode
For example:
String brokerName = getBroker().getName();
