-----------------------------------------
I fixed FilterMediator. I will to the others later.
> Selection Mediators don't carry initialization through all branches

> Thus far, this mostly appears to be an issue with CalloutMediator, because
> it's mediate method depends upon init() having been run to setup the
> ServiceClient.
> A FilterMediator extends AbstractListMediator, but for the else branch, uses
> a ListMediator.
> When synapse initializes inline sequences as part of SynapseConfiguration,
> the init method of SequenceMediator is called. This in turn calls init of
> its superclass, which is AbstractListMediator. In that class, all child
> mediators that are instances of ManagedLifecycle are in turn initialized.
> For the FilterMediator, the 'then' branch, as an AbstractListMediator being
> an instance of ManagedLifecycle is initialized at startup. However, the
> 'else' branch, being declared as a ListMediator, will not be. Thus, it
> appears as though any mediator requiring initialization inside of the Filter
> else branch will fail (NullPointerException) when it is referenced.
> The workaround is to use named sequences wherever possible, and reference
> that instead, as the 'else' branch of a FilterMediator can alternatively use
> an elseKey.
> However, this workaround appears to have limits when it comes to the
> SwitchMediator. Inline sequences are handled inside of SwitchCase as an
> AnonymousListMediator and like the FilterMediator, aren't initialized by top
> level in/out inline target sequences. Since SwitchMediators don't have the
> option of referencing a registry key for a named sequence initialized at
> startup, I believe this breaks the ability to run certain child mediators
> that require initialization of objects that only occur when init is called.
> For example, this cannot work because the inline sequence is not initialized
> <switch>
> <case>
> <callout>...</callout>
> </case>
> </switch>
> For filters, this cannot work because inline sequences are not initialized
> <filter>
> <then>..</then>
> <else>
> <callout>
> </else>
> </filter>
> But this can
> <filter>
> <callout>
> </filter>
> as can this
> <filter>
> <then>
> <callout>
> </then>
> </filter>
> and this
> <sequence name="namedsequence">
> <callout>
> </sequence>
> <filter>
> <then>..</then>
> <else sequence="namedsequence">
> </filter>
