What is the best way to perform a string manipulation. I wish to perform a substring on a email address to extract the domain detail and populate this to a variable. a java transformer is a possibilty, but i was hoping if i could use a message enricher with a expression to perform this operation. pardon me but i am still a greenhorn on Mule. here is the excerpt from my mule flow which is failing with error cannot resolve method string length. <enricher target="#[flowVars['FromAddressDomain']]" doc:name="Message Enricher"> <expression-transformer expression="#[ payload.fromAddr.substring(payload.fromAddr.lastIndexOf('@')+ 1,payload.fromAddr.lenth())]" doc:name="Expression"></expression-transformer> </enricher>
