Matcher priority
Hi,
How can i assign priority to the matchers?I need to implement one matcher and if it fails i need to execute the other.Will the matchers execute in the order in which they appear?
In my config.xml,if one of my matchers return success,i am assigning it to null i.e dont want to execute the mail anymore.But all the other matchers were also checked.
Why is this happening?Please help
Regards
Sundeep

Post your config.xml and your mailet sourcecode.

Hi,
In my config.xml in the root processor,i included a matcher.If that returns
success i am executing the mailet which sets the mail to ghost as u said.But
my problem is the second matcher is executing first and then the first
one.Why is this happening?
Am i including them in the right processor?
Thanx and regards

James execute matchers inside a processor in the same order you write them.
When a matcher matches the message then the associated mailet is
executed. The mailet can stop the message or let it being processed from
the following matcher. The mailet decide this by setting the "state"
field of the Mail. Use Mail.GHOST to stop the message, while
"processorname" to move the messsage to another processor.
Many mailets support the <passThrough> option to alter the default
behaviour. Using <passThrough>true</passThrough> the mail will be
processed by the following matchers.

Assigning an input parameter to null in Java does not put null in the
object, this is a Java foundation.
You have to call mail.setState(Mail.GHOST) if you want to "eat" the message.
