Infographic: The Future of Financial Services | MuleSoft Blog
The Connected Bank For many banks, back office systems for such critical functions as deposit accounting, loan servicing, and payment processing have been in place for decades, running on huge legacy mainframes. According to industry analysts, IT departments spend 70 to 90 percent of their budgets managing and maintaining these disparate systems, leaving little left over for new initiatives. In ad
Parallel Multicasting in Mule Made Easy | MuleSoft Blog
A common integration scenario is where a single message needs to be sent through multiple routes. Take for example a case in which you’re receiving a message about a new client’s on-boarding. The message needs to be routed through the CRM to create the client, to marketing who will want to know how the client heard about the company, and finally passed to provisioning and stock systems so they can
Enabling Transactions in Node.js using Domains | MuleSoft Blog
At Mulesoft we have open source software deep in our DNA: Our core product source code is on github. We have hundreds of public projects there as well, and we have contributed to many open source projects including Node.js itself. We’re excited about Node.js and have several large, sophisticated Node.js projects in development. Our use of cutting edge Node.js features has resulted in both a lot of
Introducing APIhub | MuleSoft Blog
It’s no secret that we are in exciting times where we’re witnessing an incredibly rapid proliferation of APIs and with this has come great challenges. There is no standard place for discovering APIs, nor is there a trusted partner for API publishers – there are many little players trying to solve small problems in silos and this is leading to more and more dis-aggregation of the API landscape. So
Introducing Mule Enterprise Security
Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) present unique security challenges due to loose service/application coupling and operations running across trust boundaries. To help our customers address these challenges, we have extended the Mule ESB platform security in several key areas and are making these extensions available through our Mule Enterprise Security package. This blog post will introduce t
Automate your deployments with the Jenkins API
The Jenkins build systemhas an open API which means we can do stuff with it. Today we’re going to automate the deployment of an application with a specific stable version. Jenkins has a great UI, it’s very flexible indeed, but sometimes is not enough. For instance, for CloudHub we deploy a Jenkins build to our QA environment, according the period in our development cycle, and we also need to exec
From the Mule’s Mouth » Application vs. Data Integration: Which is better?
This question boils down to one thing: are you part of the transaction or not? Data Integration grew out of the adoption of relational databases and the need to move information between them. Typically, data integration is batch-orientated and deals with data at rest. In other words, the process that created the data has already completed. Application Integration, on the other hand, deals with int

The alarms go off. You get an alert on your cellphone. You look at your systems dashboard and notice that your Mule server, which was happily chewing messages until just a minute ago, is struggling. What can you do? It is statistically very rare for Mule applications to fail, but when something unexpected happens it is good to know how to react in the crucial moments after a problem has been detec
From the Mule’s Mouth » AMQP and the future of web messaging
Last month the AMQP working group, which includes big hitters such as Bank of America, Credit Suisse, JPMorgan Chase, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Cisco, VMWare, Redhat, and Informatica finalised version 1.0 of the AMQP standard. It has been 5 years in the making, the market for messaging has changed a lot in that time. What is AMQP? “The Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) is an ope
From the Mule’s Mouth » Encrypting passwords in Mule
Jasypt is an open source Java library which provides basic encryption capabilities using a high-level API. This library can be used with Mule to avoid clear text passwords for connectors and endpoints.First, download the latest Jasypt distribution, unpack it and copy icu4j and jasypt jars to MULE_HOME/lib/user directory. Then add the following snippet to your Mule config file: Next, you will need
From the Mule’s Mouth » Mule iON Architecture Series: The Technology
Building a highly available and fault tolerant cloud platform comes with its share of challenges. What happens when components fail? What happens when the cloud itself experiences downtime? How is it possible to ensure customer apps are always available and their log data is never lost? These are some of the very questions we ask ourselves when working through the iON architecture. With so many
From the Mule’s Mouth » The Zen of UI Testing with Selenium, Hudson and Sauce Labs
Most people who write UIs don’t care about testing. You know why? Because it’s hard. So hard, they’d rather not even bother and test things manually. You have multiple browsers. You have multiple platforms. And worse, you have all these frameworks and toolkits which are difficult to test. I’ll pick on GWT here for a moment. It takes 20 seconds to start a test – let alone a server side component to
From the Mule’s Mouth » Error handling testing with Byteman
Testing exception handling code is not always an easy task. You either need to setup the external conditions that cause the exception to be raised or generate mocks to get the same results. A third option is using a bytecode injection tool like Byteman. Using Byteman scripting language you can insert custom behavior into the application code under test. The main use cases for Byteman are: tracing
From the Mule’s Mouth » Choosing the right integration/ESB platform
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 the benefits and the considerations of each. You can read the original post and follow-up parts
From the Mule’s Mouth » ESB or not to ESB Revisited – Part 3, API Layer and Grid Processing Architecture
In this penultimate part of my ESB or not to ESB series I’m going to cover two more architectures; API Layer and Processing Grid providing the benefits and considerations for each. Previous Posts: ESB or not to ESB – original post ESB or not to ESB revisited – Part 1. What is an ESB? ESB or not to ESB revisited – Part 2.

From the Mule’s Mouth » ESB or not to ESB revisited – Part 2
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. Enterprise Service Bus Architecture ESB Characteristics Canonical message format; typically XML, often standards-based The message is the contract between systems Each integrated system has an adapt
From the Mule’s Mouth » ESB or not to ESB Revisited – Part 1
I wrote a blog post a while back about when to use an ESB and when not to. It got a fair bit of pick up and I’ve had a lot of people reach out to me about it with specific use cases. It got me thinking its time to revisit the topic and provide more practical information about your options for integration. This is a multi-part post where I’m going to start of defining what an ESB really is, offer

Setting up the problem Here is a simple scenario: Go to Google Provide a search string Search the web Make sure that some results are returned In order to automate it, use your favorite test recording tool. Did you say Selenium IDE? Sure, Why not, but there are other tools, even those solely based on Javascript. The previous scenario was implemented using Selenium IDE. Below you can see the resul
