Add Query parameter in Mule HTTP Outbound endpoint - mule

How to add Query parameter in mule HTTP Outbound Endpoint.
Without passing in path.
Thank You.

You can add the parameters in the outbound connector itself. you have the option to pass the hard coded data as well as MEL expressions are also allowed.
<http:request config-ref="HTTP_Request_Configuration" path="/post" method="POST" doc:name="outbound">
<http:request-builder>
<http:query-param paramName="q1" value="#[payload.input1]"/>
</http:request-builder>
</http:request>

Let's suppose you need to send the following url to Outbound endpoint which contains the following :- Query Parameter :-
http://localhost:8083/mule/?Item1=abc&Item2=efg
So,now as you said you don't need to pass the Query Parameter in url..
So in that case you can do the following :-
You can set the Query Parameter in Outbound Property using set-property just before the Outbound Endpoint as follow :-
<set-property propertyName="Item1" value="abc" doc:name="Property"/>
<set-property propertyName="Item2" value="efg" doc:name="Property"/>
<http:outbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" method="POST" address="http://localhost:8083/mule/" doc:name="HTTP"/>
And you can simply pass http://localhost:8083/mule/ in Outbound endpoint address and the Query Parameter will be passed to external flow as an Outbound properties with message payload
Note: This is only incase of old HTTP outbound endpoint (Mule 3.5 or older), where query param are treated as outbbond properties

Migrating to the New HTTP Connector

I've upgraded from Mule 3.3.x to 3.6.x and since the old http endpoint is deprecated in 3.6.x I wanted to migrate to the new HTTP connector.
Here is the original code for calling a webservice and healthcheck
Webservice
<http:outbound-endpoint connector-ref="NoSessionConnector"
address="${testmigrationapp.endpoint.url}"
responseTimeout="${testmigrationapp.endpoint.timeout}" keep-alive="true"
responseTransformer-refs="errorHandler">
<jms:transaction action="ALWAYS_JOIN"/>
Healthcheck
<http:inbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" address="${testmigrationapp.healthcheck.address}" doc:name="HTTP"/>
How would I implement this using the new HTTP connector?
Thanks
An HTTP outbound endpoint would translate to an HTTP request. You will need to define a request-config specifying the host, port and persistent connections (because of the keep-alive=true). Then you can replace the outbound endpoint with a request element specifying the URL path and the response timeout. For example:
<http:request-config name="persistentRequestConfig" usePersistentConnections="true" host="example.com" port="80" />
<flow name="persistent">
<http:request config-ref="persistentRequestConfig" path="/" responseTimeout="30" />
</flow>
An HTTP inbound endpoint would translate to an HTTP listener. You will need to define a listener-config specifying the host and port. Then you can replace the inbound endpoint for a listener element specifying the URL path. For example:
<http:listener-config name="listenerConfig" host="0.0.0.0" port="8081"/>
<flow name="testFlow">
<http:listener config-ref="listenerConfig" path="/"/>
<echo-component/>
</flow>
For more details you can checkout our docs regarding the migration.

How to send a json payload while consuming a rest api

I have an api developed and want to consume this api in a mule flow.
But when I test from chrome:postman I am getting the below error.
Message payload is of type: BufferInputStream
So I tried to log the message and below I got
org.glassfish.grizzly.utils.BufferInputStream#e2ed077
So basically my requirement is how can I pass json payload to my api. Below is my code snippet.
<http:listener-config name="HTTP_Listener_Configuration" host="0.0.0.0" port="8083" doc:name="HTTP Listener Configuration"/>
<http:request-config name="HTTP_Request_Configuration" host="localhost" port="8082" doc:name="HTTP Request Configuration">
<http:basic-authentication username="sa" password="sa"/>
</http:request-config>
<flow name="get-response-container-storeFlow">
<http:listener config-ref="HTTP_Listener_Configuration" path="/testapi" doc:name="HTTP"/>
<logger message="******************Executed Test_Container_Store_API*******************#[payload]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
<logger message="#[payload]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
<http:request config-ref="HTTP_Request_Configuration" path="/apie" method="POST" sendBodyMode="NEVER" doc:name="HTTP">
</http:request>
You can resolve the first "error" with the logger by addding a <object-to-string-transformer/> as the first message processor after your http:inbound (or more importantly, before your logger).
If you want to include the body in the request you should remove the sendBodyMode="NEVER" attribute from your request.
From the MuleSoft docs:
By default, the methods GET, HEAD and OPTIONS sends HTTP requests with an empty body, and the payload of the Mule message won’t be used at all. The rest of the methods sends the message payload as the body of the request. If you need to change this default behavior, you can specify the sendBodyMode attribute in the request, with one of the following possible values:
AUTO (default): The behavior depends on the method. Body is not sent for GET, OPTIONS and HEAD, and it is sent otherwise.
ALWAYS: The body is always sent.
NEVER: The body is never sent.
This means since you have this attribute set to never your payload will never be included as the request-body.

How to Intercept incoming call in Mule

Hi I am working with Mule Any Point platform i am using composite source which is listening from HTTP and JMS both. I want to identify the incoming call coming from HTTP or JMS and i want to print using the logger. How to do that ?
Try the following way of using logger inside your endpoints.
<composite-source doc:name="Composite Source">
<http:inbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" host="localhost" port="8081" doc:name="HTTP">
<logger message="Request coming from HTTP endpoint."></logger>
<set-variable value="HTTP" variableName="myVar"></set-variable>
</http:inbound-endpoint>
<jms:inbound-endpoint doc:name="JMS" queue="in">
<logger message="Request coming from JMS endpoint."></logger>
<set-variable value="JMS" variableName="myVar"></set-variable>
</jms:inbound-endpoint>
</composite-source>
In the flow when you have to chekc a condition, you can use the flow variable "myVar" to check whether the message came from HTTP or JMS endpoint.
Hope this helps.

Why Mule http inbound endpoint is always GET request

Why Mule http inbound endpoint is always GET request. I'm logging type of http method
and it always logs type is GET even I specified method type PUT in http inbound end
point.
<http:inbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response"
path="testPath" doc:name="HTTP"
host="localhost" port="8083"
mimeType="application/json"
method="PUT"/>
<logger level="INFO" message="method type #[message.inboundProperties['http.method']]"
doc:name="Logger"/> <--- It always logs method is GET
It never go into following expression block:
<choice doc:name="Choice">
<when expression="#[message.inboundProperties['http.method']=='PUT']">
I would like to set http method as a "PUT" in http inbound endpoint
The method attribute on http:inbound-endpoint is ineffective: you can put any value there, it won't change anything.
As Ale suggested, it's up to the HTTP client to use whatever method you want to receive on Mule's side.

Why won't a REST component not receive a call made internal to an app when multiple Global HTTP Connectors are Configured?

I'm struggling to configure and deploy to CloudHub an app with multiple Global HTTP Connectors and a REST component.
My application has two flows: one polls an RSS feed for news and posts a json representation of that feed to an http inbound endpoint in the same app (endpoint resides on second flow). The second flow receives that post, does some magic, including persisting the item to storage, and then notifies via an http outbound endpoint an external node.js web app to push the item via web sockets to active clients.
I have tried what feels like dozens of different configurations involving a variety of HTTP Global Connectors and http in and outbound endpoints, but I can't get everything to work. I currently have:
A Polling HTTP Connector
An HTTP endpoint referencing above polling http connector to get RSS Feed
One Global Connector (we'll call HTTP_ONE) to receive messages at localhost:${http.port}
An http oubound endpoint configured referencing HTTP_ONE and configured to post an activity to /api/v1/activity
An http inbound endpoint configured to receive messages for /api/v1 and a Jersey controller sitting just behind this endpoint which takes /activity.
Another Global Connector (HTTP_TWO) with an external host set as the proxy host name (e.g. somehost.somewhere.com).
An http outbound endpoint configured to post messages to somehost.somewhere.com
On my localhost, I've had to use various properties to allow for all of this activity on multiple ports on my laptop.
On CloudHub, I'm using localhost and ${http.port} everywhere except in the oubound endpoint that calls to an external web service.
I can get one flow or the other working, but not both.... My problem seems to be with the posting a given news item from the RSS feed to the Inbound HTTP Endpoint. It is sending the post to http://localhost:80/api/v1/activity, but the connector says that no such path exists (it only lists /api/v1 as an option), which makes me think that the call is not getting as far as the Jersey Controller which sits behind the Global Connector and the http inbound endpoint for /api/v1/activity. Is this behavior an inherent flaw in using the REST Component and multiple global http connectors? Also, why do we have to reference a Global HTTP Connector when making an outbound call? Why can't we use the default HTTP Connector? (Maybe the last two questions should go in a subsequent post...)
Here's most of the relevant config for the two flows:
Global Connectors
<http:polling-connector name="PollingHttpConnector" pollingFrequency="60000" doc:name="HTTP Polling" clientSoTimeout="10000" cookieSpec="netscape" receiveBacklog="0" receiveBufferSize="0" sendBufferSize="0" serverSoTimeout="10000" socketSoLinger="0" validateConnections="true"/>

<http:connector name="EduStreamESB_HTTP" cookieSpec="netscape" validateConnections="true" sendBufferSize="0" receiveBufferSize="0" receiveBacklog="0" clientSoTimeout="10000" serverSoTimeout="10000" socketSoLinger="0" proxyHostname="localhost" proxyPort="${http.port}" doc:name="HTTP\HTTPS"/>
News RSS Feed Flow

<http:outbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" host="localhost" port="${http.port}" path="api/v1/activity" doc:name="HTTP" mimeType="application/json" connector-ref="EduStreamESB_HTTP" />
<logger message="Payload is: #[payload] Inbound Headers: #[headers:INBOUND:*] Outbound Headers: #[headers:OUTBOUND:*] Exception is: #[exception]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
</flow>
Activity Publication Service -- Core Flow
<flow name="edustreamesbFlow1" doc:name="edustreamesbFlow1">
<http:inbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" host="localhost" port="${http.port}" doc:name="HTTP" contentType="application/json" mimeType="application/json" path="api/v1" connector-ref="EduStreamESB_HTTP"/>
<jersey:resources doc:name="REST">
<component class="edu.ucdavis.edustream.esb.activity.restapi.ActivityController"/>
</jersey:resources>
<component class="edu.ucdavis.edustream.esb.activity.restapi.JerseyResponseTransformer" doc:name="JerseyRespTrans"/>
<flow-ref name="PublishActivity" doc:name="Publish Activity"/>
</flow>
<sub-flow name="PublishActivity" doc:name="PublishActivity">
<component doc:name="ActivityService">
<spring-object bean="activityService"/>
</component>
<logger message="#[payload] #[message]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
<http:outbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" host="${edustream.host}" port="80" path="api/v1/activity" mimeType="application/json" contentType="application/json" doc:name="HTTP" connector-ref="EduStream_HTTP"/>
</sub-flow>
I do not get why proxyHostname and proxyPort are configured on both EduStream_HTTP and EduStreamESB_HTTP connectors while the HTTP endpoints from these connectors target the same host/port as their destination address. This doesn't make any sense to me.
Are you really sure you need to use proxies?
For EduStreamESB_HTTP the answer is clearly no: you're calling CloudHub from CloudHub, so no need for a proxy.
For EduStreamESB_HTTP, maybe... but that still seems very strange.
