Executing the Client
In this configuration, Synapse hands over the request message to the specified
endpoint, which sends it to the Axis2 server running on port 9000. But the response
message is passed through the class mediator before sending it back to the client.
Class mediator in turns hands over the message to the specified Java class for
further processing. In that regard, the class mediator acts as a delegating
mediator which delegates the message to a custom Java class for processing.
Two parameters named 'discountFactor' and 'bonusFor' are passed to the mediator
implementation class (i.e. samples.mediators.DiscountQuoteMediator) before each
invocation. Source of the mediator implementation class is shown below.

//discounting factor is deducted from current price form every response

//Special discount of 5% offers for the first responses as set in the bonusFor property
if (bonusCount <= bonusNo) {
lastPrice = new Double(lastPrice.doubleValue() - lastPrice.doubleValue() * 0.05);

}

All classes developed for the class mediator should implement the 'Mediator'
interface, which contains the mediate(...) method. The mediate(...) method of the
above class is invoked for each response message mediated through the main
sequence, with the message context of the current message as the parameter. All
details of the message including the SOAP headers, SOAP body and properties of
the context hierarchy can be accessed from the message context. In this sample,
the body of the message is retrieved and the discount percentage is subtracted
from the quote price. If the quote request number is less than the number specified
in the 'bonusFor' property in the configuration, a special discount is given.
To test the custom code and the class mediator, invoke the test client as
follows.
ant stockquote -Dsymbol=IBM -Dmode=quote -Daddurl=http://localhost:8280
You will see the below output in the client console with the discounted quote value.
Standard :: Stock price = $95.26454380258552
If you check the Synapse console, you will notice the messages printed by the
custom mediator during mediation.
Quote value discounted.
Original price: 162.30945327447262
Discounted price: 138.77458254967408
