Mule Reading Files in the Middle of the Flow Using Mule-Requester

Mule supports reading files at the beginning of a flow and we can use the File Connector to do this as well, but this connector is not suitable for loading the content of a file in the middle of a flow. Sometimes, though, you need to read a file during a flow. For example:

* Your flow is triggered by a job scheduler (e.g. Quartz), not a file polling inbound endpoint.
* You have to process files on a strict schedule, not as soon as they arrive.
* You have to read the file name from the DB and then you have to start processing.

* You need to retry file processing from the beginning of the file.

To achieve this goal we need to use the mule-module-requester. This module allows the request of different resources at any point in a flow. https://goo.gl/rgg2uu #DataIntegration #ML
