Spring has become a highly popular framework for the development of web applications, thanks to a compelling support for web features, both at its core and within extensions modules. When it comes to deployment time, Spring shines again by its container agnosticism. Because Spring web applications are pretty much self contained, they can get deployed on any [...]

Sweet XML: How pattern-based configuration will sugarize your Mule

David Dossot — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:00:15 +0000

Configuring Mule involves XML, and though using a decent XML editor can help a lot (thanks to the contextual help it provides from Mule’s schemas), there is still a enough angle brackets to warrant a coffee break as projects get more complicated. As the number of services in a Mule project increases, so does the amount of [...]

When you take a look at the examples that come with the latest Mule 3 milestone release, you’ll notice that endpoints have an exchange-pattern attribute now: This attribute replaces the synchronous attribute we used before. Why did we change the configuration? The old synchronous attribute was purely a two-way state: it was either true or false. [...]
