I have a requirement to pass an object to an HTTP connector (Not sure if I can use any other connector). The next step is convert an object to a CXML and make an outbound end point call to another API, get the response and convert it another java object. I am very new to Mule and need some inputs on this. Any pointers would be very helpful.
Can someone give me some good points where we have good links for mule implementation examples (apart from Mule in Action)
EDIT: code from OP's comment below
<flow name="object_serialization.mflowFlow1" doc:name="object_serialization.mflowFlow1">
<http:inbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" host="localhost" port="8081" doc:name="HTTP"/>
<component class="SerializeObject" doc:name="Java"/>
<serializable-to-byte-array-transformer doc:name="Serializable to Byte Array"/>
<http:outbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" host="localhost" port="8081" method="POST" doc:name="HTTP"/>
</flow>
You can achieve your goal with Mule:
On the client side:
Serialize the Java object with serializable-to-byte-array-transformer
HTTP POST it with an http:outbound-endpoint
On the server side:
Receive the HTTP POST with an http:inbound-endpoint
Deserialize the Java object with byte-array-to-serializable-transformer
This assumes the Java object implements java.io.Serializable, which should be the case since you stated you want to use Java serialization. This also assumes that the necessary Java classes are available on the classpath of both client and server Mules.

i need to send json to a web service and getting the response in json format.
so firstly i have a http connecter which receive data and then i need a datamaper to map the json that i get to the web service. in a second flow i put another http connecter which listen to the web service and get the response. actually what i need is an element who can replace the datamaper because i'm working with the community version. so if there is any example of code any tutorial, i would be grateful.
First flow:
<flow name="Flow1">
<http:inbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response"
host="localhost" port="8082" doc:name="HTTP"
contentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" path="getDetails" />
<json:json-to-object-transformer
returnClass="java.lang.Object" doc:name="JSON to Object" />
<set-session-variable variableName="tkn"
value="#[message.payload.token]" doc:name="token" />
<set-session-variable variableName="msg"
value="#[message.payload.msg]" doc:name="message" />
<logger message="#[sessionVars['tkn']]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger" />
</flow>
You can either do your own mapping in a custom component or use a framework like Smooks to do the transformations. If you choose the latter you can check out this blog post. HTH.
Rajeun,
Refer the below link if that helps.
http://www.mulesoft.org/documentation/display/current/JSON+Module+Reference
You need to follow following steps :-
1. Extract the data from your input Json request and store in variables.
2. Now, if your external service is a SOAP, then you can create a SOAP request using XSLT example :- http://bushorn.com/xml-to-xml-transformation-in-mule/
3. If your external web service is a REST, you can create the JSON request for that service using Mule Expression transformer example :- http://bushorn.com/json-to-json-transformation-in-mule/
I am facing a problem while connecting with the QuickBooks connector.
My keys are correct. Didn't find any solution how to solve this? Can any one help me?
UPDATE
Following is my flow
<flow name="Authorize">
<!-- INBOUND ENDPOINT -->
<http:inbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" host="localhost" port="8081" doc:name="HTTP"/>
<quickbooks:auth-user config-ref="Quickbooks_Online" accessTokenUrl="https://oauth.intuit.com/oauth/v1/get_access_token" authorizationUrl="https://appcenter.intuit.com/Connect/Begin" callbackUrl="http://localhost:8090" requestTokenId="#[groovy:message.getSessionProperty('requestTokenIdentifier')]" requestTokenUrl="https://oauth.intuit.com/oauth/v1/get_request_token" doc:name="Quickbooks Online"/>
</flow>

This error:
The user token could not be retrieved from the Object Store using the key
tells you that you have not authenticated the connector correctly.
It's as if you haven't captured a valid token, either via OpenID or OAuth. Make sure to use one of these two methods to authenticate before calling the greenropetestFlow1 flow.
Read the authentication guide for the QuickBooks connector here: http://mulesoft.github.io/quickbooks-connector/online/authentication.html
I was facing the same issue, it seems the connector is out of the date and those authentication methods are just not working, no body has push changes since a couple of years.
I wrote a solution here:
https://yucelmoran.com/2018/02/12/authorization-process-for-quickbooks-online-using-mule-no-connector/
hope it helps, it's maybe just a temporally solution..
I am very new to mule. I am trying to read a http link, which outputs txt file.
I want to call this link in mule, read text and insert data in to database.
Can any one suggest me how to read txt file in mule when file is coming from http.
Thanks in advance.
Let us consider there is a HTTP url localhost:8081/service which will provide a text output while calling it.
So, to call it from Mule flow, you need to configure HTTP outbound or HTTP request component which is used to call external url.
So, you need to configure it in following way :-
If you are using Mule 3.5 or earlier, you need outbound endpoint :-
<http:outbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" address="localhost:8081/service" method="GET" doc:name="HTTP"/>
If you are using Mule 3.6 or later version, you need Http request component :-
<http:request-config name="HTTP_Request_Configuration" host="localhost" port="8081" doc:name="HTTP Request Configuration"/>
And in Mule flow :-
<http:request config-ref="HTTP_Request_Configuration" path="/service" method="GET" doc:name="Call external service" />
Reference :- https://developer.mulesoft.com/docs/display/current/HTTP+Request+Connector
After calling the external url from Mule flow, you will be getting the text as payload, which you can insert into database using your SQL query
Take a look at the Mule HTTP Endpoint.
I'm starting using Mule and have some trivial questions. Here one of them.
Suppose you store the address of a url to invoke later on a process on a property file.
Then you want to use an http endpoint specifying this url.
It works fine, you simply put in the address: ${URL_ADDRESS} and that's it.
Now if your url is calculated and set on a flowVar, why the following code does not work?
<http:outbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" method="GET" address="#[flowVars['URL_ADDRESS']]" doc:name="HTTP"/>
It throws this exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Address '#[flowVars['URL_ADDRESS']]' for protocol 'http' should start with http://
Why is it checked at compilation time? How can I do to set it at runtime?
The protocol cannot be dynamic. You should change your outbound endpoint to <http:outbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" method="GET" address="http://#[flowVars['URL_ADDRESS']]" doc:name="HTTP"/>
you should use the flow variables in below format. Either #[FileName] or #[flowVars.FileName]
I am trying to make a request to an inbound http endpoint that uses <recipient-list> and a Custom Aggregator to combine multiple results. How do I get my inbound http endpoint to "wait" for the result of the Custom Aggregator?
Here are my sample flows. The Aggregator works perfectly. But because is asynchronous, the inbound http endpoint returns immediately. What I'd really like to do is return the result from the Custom Aggregator as a response to the http endpoint. I feel like I am missing something simple.
<flow name="AggregationExample">
<http:inbound-endpoint
exchange-pattern="request-response"
host="localhost"
port="8082"
path="test/aggregate"
/>
<recipient-list evaluator="groovy" expression="['vm://source1','vm://source2']"></recipient-list>
<!-- How do I wait for result of custom aggregator? -->
</flow>
<flow name="SourceAggregation">
<vm:inbound-endpoint path="sourceresult" />
<custom-aggregator failOnTimeout="true" class="com.example.MySourceAggregator"/>
<logger message="RESULTS: #[payload]"/>
</flow>
<flow name="Source1">
<vm:inbound-endpoint path="source1" />
<set-payload value="#[groovy:Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream('example-source1.json').text]"/>
<vm:outbound-endpoint path="sourceresult" />
</flow>
<flow name="Source2">
<vm:inbound-endpoint path="source2" />
<set-payload value="#[groovy:Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream('example-source2.json').text]"/>
<vm:outbound-endpoint path="sourceresult" />
</flow>
Use a request-reply router in the AggregationExample flow instead of a recipient list: dispatch to another flow that does the dispatching to Source1 and Source2.
Generally speaking, I'm unsure about what you're trying to achieve though: did you build this contraption just to read two files in parallel? Or is there more to it? If just for that, are you sure it's really worth it: aren't there any physical limitations to concurrent file reads? If it's all for optimization, caching would potentially be a better path.
Also, if the recipients in recipient-list are static, why using this router and not an all router?
Finally, did you have issues with MEL that you're using Groovy expressions to read the files instead?
