HIGHLIGHT

Mule in Action

is a comprehensive tutorial that introduces the Mule ESB along

with ESB development best practices. It's written for developers, architects, and

IT managers to help them discover, evaluate, and make the most of Mule

without getting kicked!

DESCRIPTION

Mule is the most widely used open source ESB with millions of downloads

providing an alternative to expensive commercial options. Mule in Action is a

comprehensive tutorial designed for working Java developers. This authoritative

book explores the architecture and the main features of version Mule 2 through

numerous running examples. It starts with a quick overview of ESB technology

and a bit of Mule history including the key changes between Mule 1.x and

Mule 2. Readers learn to configure Mule and then get straight to the good

stuff putting Mule to work.

Because the core of an ESB system is handling message traffic, the book dives

into the way Mule handles data with chapters on sending and receiving, routing,

and transforming data. Next, it takes a close look at Mule's standard components

and how you can roll out custom ones. The book closes with a set of chapters

on the nuts and bolts of working with Mule. Readers can take Mule farther by

learning techniques for testing, performance tuning, BPM orchestration, and

even a touch of Groovy scripting.
