mule,How to trigger a flow in java class

Question

I had created a java class to catch the systemException(DB connection Fail), In the class I tried to reconnect to DB for 10 times. If connect success,I want to restart the normal flow. So how can I restart the flow in this class?? Any advise? Thanks a lot.

You can stop and start the flows by getting them through the mule registry and invoking the start and stop method respectively. An example of this would be :

    Flow myFlow = (Flow) eventContext.getMuleContext().getRegistry().get("FlowName");
    myFlow.stop();
    myFlow.start();

But I don't think this is the ideal approach and further more I don't think that this would resolve your issue.

I am under the impression you are using the "old" JDBC connector. This connector has a reconnection policy that would do this for you. please refer to http://www.mulesoft.org/documentation/display/current/Configuring+Reconnection+Strategies for further information.
