Finding bad code

Sateesh Narahari on Monday, September 28, 2009

Several years ago, I moved into Product Management, and progressively my time writing code has diminished.

Wey Cheng on Friday, September 25, 2009

There are use cases where you may want to send a message through HTTP, File, or another transport to a .NET Web Service. Using Mule ESB, it’s fairly straight-forward to accomplish this. Consider this use case:

Recompiling Tomcat May Cause Runtime Problems

jasonb on Thursday, September 24, 2009

It’s a very good thing that Tomcat is open source software. Because it is open, it enjoys broad stand-alone adoption, plus it has been incorporated as part of many other application server products, both commercial and open source. Why reinvent the wheel when Tomcat works great as a generic web container, and the source code is free? Many [...]

Since the launch of the public beta of Tcat Server a few weeks ago, the team at MuleSoft has been busy working on adding new features to the product.

Overcoming XML Validation Errors in Eclipse 3.5

Dirk Olmes on Monday, September 21, 2009

When I recently switched to Eclipse Galileo, I noticed that a Mule configuration file that had previously validated correctly now had validation errors. Since I did not change the file, something in Galileo’s validation of XML files must have changed. The symptoms are these:

Agile Planning at Mule

Ken Yagen on Friday, September 18, 2009

At MuleSoft we use Agile development to build and deliver all of our software products. One of the more challenging and potentially time consuming part of agile is story estimating. Recently we decided to take a new approach to this that has proven to be a lot of fun and amazingly accurate. I call it [...]

Revamping the XMPP transport

Dirk Olmes on Thursday, September 17, 2009

Some time ago I wanted to do a Mule demo. I’m a Jabber fan so I wanted to use the XMPP transport for the demo. I soon found out that the XMPP transport in its current form doesn’t work with real world Jabber servers any more. SSL connections are negotiated through TLS now and authentication [...]
