Java – how to resolve exceptions in bufferinputstream mule, the type of message payload

I've converted to a byte array, but I keep getting this error:

ERROR 2015-02-25 11:12:30,517 [[ESR].HTTP_Request_Listener.worker.01] org.mule.exception.DefaultMessagingExceptionStrategy:

This is my process:

<sub-flow name="requestBeanCreate">
    <object-to-byte-array-transformer />
    <set-payload value="#[app.registry.messageBean.createServiceRequest(message.inboundProperties['http.uri.params']['name'],payload)]"/>
</sub-flow>

<flow name = "RequestsEntryFlow" >
    <http:listener allowedMethods="POST"  parseRequest="false"  config-ref="HTTP_Request_Listener" path="/{name}" doc:name="HTTP Entry Flow" />
    <flow-ref name="requestBeanCreate" />
    <choice doc:name="Choice">
        <when expression="#[app.registry.messageBean.isEMCrequired(payload)]">
            <jms:outbound-endpoint connector-ref="jms-connector" ref="EMCrequiredRequestsQueue" />
        </when>
        <otherwise>             
             <flow-ref name="req" />
        </otherwise>
    </choice>
</flow>

<http:request-config parseResponse="false" name="HTTP_Request_Configuration"   />

<sub-flow name = "req">    
    <set-variable variableName="id" value="#[payload]" doc:name="Variable" />
    <set-variable variableName="destination" value="#[app.registry.routerBean.getDestination(app.registry.messageBean.getReceiverID(payload))]"  doc:name="Variable" />
    <set-payload value="#[app.registry.messageBean.sendRequestToDestination(payload)]" />              
    <processor-chain>
    <http:request  parseResponse="false" config-ref="HTTP_Request_Configuration" host="#[flowVars.destination]" port="80" path="/" method="POST" />
        <object-to-byte-array-transformer />
        <expression-component>
            app.registry.messageBean.sendResponseToSender(flowVars.id);
            app.registry.messageBean.messageProcessedSuccessfully(flowVars.id);
        </expression-component>
    </processor-chain>
</sub-flow>

Solution

You seem to get the 400 status code from the HTTP request, which causes an exception before reaching the transformer Try adding a success status code validator that covers all cases (you can choose which cases to consider later):

<http:request parseResponse="false" config-ref="HTTP_Request_Configuration" host="#[flowVars.destination]" port="80" path="/" method="POST">
        <http:success-status-code-validator values="0..599"/>
    </http:request>
