Pass the request of Mule ESB service to conditional routers

I am exposing a CXF service using Mule ESB and i need to pass on the request as is to the Conditional routers. Most of the examples I see pass the response to conditional routers.

How do I pass the request forward without changing the wsdl?

I used a web-service-proxy pattern provided by Mule ESB 3

<pattern:web-service-proxy name="theProxy" 
         outboundAddress="vm://theProxyFlow" 
        wsdlFile="classpath:wsdl/MyWsWSDL.wsdl" inboundAddress="${inbound.url}" transformer-refs="RequestToString">
</pattern:web-service-proxy>

And the VM endpoint actually does the Condition based routing by using xpath expression. However I had to write a "RequestToString" custom transformer so that I could apply xpath on the incoming SOAP payload.

I used the following transformation in the transformer -

      if (src instanceof InputStream)
        {
            InputStream input = (InputStream) src;
            try
            {
                reqAsString = IOUtils.toString(input);
            }
            finally
            {
                IOUtils.closeQuietly(input);
            }
        }

I'll revise this answer when the OP will have given more precision

Place a choice routing message processor after the component that implements your web service.
