1.26. During the Filtering Process

Smooks generates different types of output during the Smooks.filterSource process. (This occurs during the message event stream, before the end of the message is reached.) An example of this is when it is used to split and route message fragments to different types of endpoints for execution by other processes.

Smooks does not "batch up" the message data and produce all of the outputs after filtering the complete message. This is because performance would be impacted and also because it allows you to utilize the message event stream to trigger the fragment transformation and routing operations. Large messages are sent by streaming the process.
