If we want to check in our flow , weather payload is null or not , we can do it using MULE Expression Language .
#[payload == null]
This was not working in MULE 3.1.1 , so we can try another expression like this :
#[payload is NullPayload]
But , this condition also threw and Exception like this :
org.mule.api.MessagingException: Execution of the expression "payload is NullPayload" failed. (org.mule.api.expression.ExpressionRuntimeException). Message payload is of type: NullPayload

To resolve this , you have to tweak the expression a little bit like this :
#[payload is org.mule.transport.NullPayload]
