evangelina.martinez on Friday, December 2, 2011

You might have noticed that under certain circumstances Mule will add its own Soap Headers to the CXF calls. This can be a problem in some situations.

Implementing Custom Validation with DevKit

john.demic on Wednesday, November 30, 2011

Agent-Based Synchronous HTTP Request Handling (A Recipe)

David Dossot on Wednesday, October 26, 2011

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 [...]
