If you want to avoid including configuration parameters (probably connection related parameters) in your Mule configuration, you can use property placeholders, which will allow you to upload these parameters from a properties file. This enables you, for example, to have different property files for different environments (Dev, QA, Prod) or allows you to reuse the [...]

In the vast majority of cases, HTTP requests are processed synchronously: the operation that the client wants to perform on the targeted resource is executed by the same thread and the result is returned right away. This is usually done by connecting the HTTP layer directly to the service layer. This post demonstrates a slightly different [...]

If you follow this blog or what’s happening in Mule 3, you’ve heard about the newly introduced configuration mechanism based on patterns. In the coming releases of Mule, we will keep adding new patterns based on users feedback and requests. But this doesn’t mean your experience with configuration patterns will be limited to the ones that [...]

True to our goal of simplifying the configuration of Mule, we will be adding the capacity to programmatically configure Mule 3 in the coming releases. With configuration patterns aiming at reducing the amount of XML configuration and a new IDE in the works for graphically configuring Mule, the third angle we wanted to take on [...]

The pattern-based configuration series continues! After a first set of fairly generic patterns, this new addition will demonstrate how highly specialized patterns can provide value too. When processing messages, a certain format is always assumed to have been respected so that the required data can be retrieved. It is possible and oftentimes desirable to be [...]

Web Service Proxy was the last configuration pattern presented in this blog. Time for a new one! Connecting systems together is one of the most essential task of integration. Mule ESB offers the necessary building blocks for achieving such connections. One of these building blocks allows establishing bridges between message sources and destinations. Known as [...]

In Mule 3 we are now able to clearly define a chain of message processing steps and see exactly what is being applied and in which order. This was unfortunately not the case in previous versions of Mule where transformers and filters were defined as attributes on the endpoint or the router.

After the introduction of Simple Service, the configuration patterns series continues! The second pattern we would like to introduce is Web Service Proxy. Proxying web services is a very common practice used for different reasons like security or auditing. This pattern allows a short and easy configuration of such a proxy.
