The document discusses using the ForEach component in Mule applications. It allows splitting a collection into elements and processing them iteratively through embedded processors. An example flow is provided that uses ForEach to iterate over results from a database query and log each element. The flow executes a select query, passes results to ForEach, and logs the payload within the loop and after processing each element.

1. For Each Component In Mule Demo

2. Abstract
• The main motto of this PPT is how to use For
Each component in our applications.

3. Introduction
• The Foreach scope splits a collection into
elements and processes them iteratively
through the processors embedded in the
scope, then returns the original message to
the flow.

4. Example

7. • Flow of execution:
1. URL to trigger the service from browser
http://localhost:8087/foreach
2. Database component connects to the specific
database, executes the select query and prints
the result (one by one) using for each
component
