I am very excited to announce that MuleSoft has launched a new open source integration product called iBeans (short for Integration Beans). iBeans provide a way to dramatically simplify common integration tasks for Web application developers.

Why did we create iBeans?

I recently had the opportunity to integrate a bunch of REST resources and came to further appreciate what I consider to be Mule’s power tools: scripting and expressions (there is a third tool in my power box, Spring, but I won’t discuss it here).

Scripting, and more precisely Groovy, has been key to this REST integration for:

• Generating the desired request microformats
• Processing the HTTP responses

We’re happy to announce the availability of the RESTpack connectors for Mule 2.2, which include support for Jersey, Abdera, and Restlet. In addition to supporting the latest Mule 2.2 codebase, the following improvements have been made:

• JERSEY-8: Filters and security are now correctly applied to endpoints.
• JERSEY-2: Endpoints are now synchronous by default
• Upgraded to the Jersey 1.0.2 release
• RESTLET-9: Restlet Request ChallengeResponse is not properly initialized (Guards now work correctly in Mule)
• The Abdera connector now contains an EntryBuilderTransformer, which makes it easy to create new AtomPub entries inside Mule.

For more information and downloads see the RESTpack information page.

Thanks,

I just got back from QCon in San Francisco. QCon is one of the best conferences around (IMHO). The speakers are great, the content quality is excellent, and the hallway conversations are thought provoking. If only I could’ve attended more! (more…)
