### setMuleContext

    public void setMuleContext(MuleContext context)

  Specified by:
    `setMuleContext` in interface `MuleContextAware`

### evaluate

    public Object evaluate(String expression,
                           MuleMessage message)

    `message` - the message to extract from
  Returns:
    the result of the extraction or null if the property was not found

### addNamespaces

    protected void addNamespaces(NamespaceManager manager,
                                 org.jaxen.XPath xpath)

### setName

    public final void setName(String name)

  Sets the name of the object

  Specified by:
    `setName` in interface `NamedObject`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the object

    protected org.jaxen.XPath getXPath(String expression,
                                       Object object)
                                throws org.jaxen.JaxenException

  Throws:
    `org.jaxen.JaxenException`

### createXPath
