In Mule 3.2 a group of stand-alone Mule instances can be configured to act as a cluster. One or more applications runs in each instance – or node – and the cluster processes requests as if a single unit. A node goes down, the application is still running; the more nodes, the more throughput. And [...]

It’s Saturday night. You realize you don’t have your cell phone and won’t be able to check on your fulfillment system. Chuckling, you remember without nostalgia the electric panic that used to set in over such a conundrum. Now you don’t give it a moment’s thought. After the weekend you arrive to work and try [...]

This is my final post in a series of ESB or not to ESB articles where I have attempted to shed some light on what an ESB really is and show some alternative architectures for performing integration. I’ve given an overview of four main architectures that I see most often and provided some context about [...]

In my last post I put some definition around what an ESB really is, today I’m going to describe two integration architectures, ESB and Hub and Spoke, providing the benefits and considerations for each.

Why are the above issues relevant for an identity management platform? The reasoning comes [...]

In previous posts explaining the enterprise integration patterns with example Mule configuration I have covered Content-Enricher and Content-based Routing patterns, today I’ll talking about the “Message Filter” pattern. Message Filter How can a component avoid receiving uninteresting messages? Use a special kind of Message Router, a Message Filter, to eliminate undesired messages from a channel based [...]

I was recently tasked with revamping the developer documentation’s information architecture to address reader comments that it was too hard to find needed information. I worked with a team of people at MuleSoft to make the new information architecture a reality, as well as to write some new content that helped explain Mule ESB 3 [...]

Often I get the following question. Should we solve this integration problem using and ESB, using BPM or both? There is no unique or simple answer to that question, because it depends on the use case. But there is definitively a place for ESB and a place for BPM and they can and should leverage [...]

Mule 3.1 introduces a very useful new <logger> element that makes it easy to inspect the content and properties of your messages in Mule while building or debugging a flow. It’s also perfect for logging errors, info messages etc. Mule has always supported logging with the <log-component> but while working with the new orchestration capabilities [...]
