6.  Flow of execution:
1. URL to trigger the service from browser
http://localhost:8089/expressionfilter
2. session property is created using message
property component In flow1
3. Service displays session properties in flow1
4. VM component in flow1 will call flow2 if the
value of the session property is other then
mule.
5. In the POC the session property value is
“mule studio” so flow1 calls flow2 and displays
session property value in flow2
