            <file:outbound-endpoint path="test" outputPattern="test.xml" responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="File"/> 

            <logger message="COUNT -&gt; #[xpath('fn:count(//po:Account)')]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/> 
            <expression-filter expression="#[xpath('fn:count(//po:Account)')!=0.0]" doc:name="Expression"/> 
            <splitter evaluator="xpath" expression="//po:Account" doc:name="Splitter"/> 
            <collection-aggregator failOnTimeout="true" doc:name="Collection Aggregator"/>

        <batch:on-complete> 
            <logger level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/> 
            <set-payload value="Total Record : #[payload.totalRecords]  fail Records : #[payload.failedRecords]  successfull records :#[payload.successfulRecords +'\n'] " doc:name="Set Payload"/> 

        </batch:on-complete> 
    </batch:job>

Please help me to resolve this error. Thanks

Answer 1

the exception it self says you are getting a String as input to the splitter component which is causing the issue.

make sure you are giving an iterateable object to splitter component.
