And when I remove validations like below I have used then this error will not be thrown
e.g.
<validation:is-true expression="#[payload != null"
message="Null Payload returned" />
And there's a reported bug in mule 3.7 for this https://www.mulesoft.org/jira/browse/MULE-8487 which marked as fix for a different scenario ("stand alone execution").
I am using mule 3.7.0 and running on tomcat 7
Questions:
If it's fixed what are the jar I need to change in pom.xml
[
<groupId>org.mule.extensions</groupId>
<artifactId>mule-extensions-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-alpha-1</version>
Since it's mentioned it's Extensions API I tried it buy it didn't work out
Or how should approach this issue?

Answer 1

Add this dependency to your POM and test.
<!-- http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.mule/mule-extensions -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.mule</groupId>
<artifactId>mule-extensions</artifactId>
<version>3.7.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
This POM provides all dependencies needed for mule-extension support. Since the community can't test your situation hands-on, try this. The POM dependency snippet you referred above is included with this POM, but also many others related to Mule extensions. Try this and please note the issue if it works.
