8.6Properties versus Mule variables

Don't confuse:

${salesforce.host}

with:

vars.salesforceId

They solve completely different problems.

Configuration property

${salesforce.host}

Usually:

static for application/environment

Example:

qa-salesforce.company.com

Mule variable

vars.salesforceId

belongs to one event/request.

Example:

001ABC123

So:

${...}
→ application configuration

vars...
→ current Mule event state
