Mule 4 new Java Module

By Patryk BandurskiPosted on 23/03/201803/05/2021Posted in Mule 4.x, Mule ESB, Mule Kernel

In one of my previous posts I described Java Component and entry point resolvers as a way to invoke Java Code in Mule 3.x. In this article I will focus on completely new approach in Mule 4. Mule presents brand new Java Module capable of creating new instances, invoking methods on those instances and invoking static methods. Although you can invoke Java using DataWeave 2.0 and Groovy scripting you are losing additional metadata (DataSense). So lets walk through some sample application.

How to avoid repetition in DataWeave for conditional checks?

Last Updated on 30/05/2021 by Patryk Bandurski Tip number 1 will be about data existence check. There is often a situation that nearly the same conditions need to be checked in every line. I have seen many transformations that were really long and complex. Reading them was not only difficult but a lot of repeatable…

Entry Point Resolver how the message is passed

Sometime it is needed to use custom JAVA code to processes current message. Developed custom code is known as Java Component. How mule knows which method should invoke and what parameters should be there passed? There are some rules that your class may full fill in order to work without any additional configuration. However when you have more sophisticated use case or class is fairly complex you would probably need Entry Point Resolver configured. I will explain on simple examples some of them. This is valid for Mule version 3.x. In next article I will describe in more detail new Java Module available in version 4.x.

Cache or not to cache

For high-workload application it is important to manage resources efficiently. One of the tricks that can save resource usage is caching. In RESTful services this technic is used in GET methods. However it may by used in other cases when operation of getting particular resource can be reused. In this blog post I will extend previously design rest service by adding caching to two operations. Mule uses Cache Scope component. Apart from describing it I will show you possible obstacles and how to handle them.
