ForEach Vs Splitter in Mule

This example app will show the difference between Foreach and splitter in Mule version 3.x. Collection splitter splits the incoming collection object and then you have to put a aggregator to collect the resultant objects. For each scope is a scope which does not change the payload and you get the same collection object once for each loop completes.
