Remote JMX Monitoring of a Mule Instance In this post I will describe how to enable monitoring of a remote Mule instance using JMX. In addition I will also enable the MX4J web interface that will expose the JMX properties of the Mule instance in a web application and I will install the Jolokia Mule… Read More »
Much to my surprise, Petter Nordlander implemented support for using Apache Camel as the engine of the transport service in Message Cowboy. As of today, you have to chose either Mule or Camel as the engine of the transport service, but it should be possible to have two instances of the transport service going at… Read More »
In this second article about Message Cowboy, the tool to perform scheduled file moves and message transfers, I will talk a bit about how to use the program. Configuration Properties Using the configuration properties, we can configure which database will be used, whether to start an embedded ActiveMQ broker and some additional aspects of database… Read More »
Round ’em messages up and bring them home! Message Cowboy is a standalone integration program that allows for scheduling of tasks that transfer files or messages from one directory, JMS queue etc to another directory, JMS queue etc. Messages may be transformed or processed in some other way before being delivered to the destination.

In this post I will show how an embedded ActiveMQ broker is automatically started when using the broker URL “vm://localhost” in a Mule JMS connector, without any additional configuration, and how to disable this behaviour. I will also look at how to explicitly configure an embedded ActiveMQ broker in a Mule configuration file. As documented… Read More »
For some while I have been thinking about how to be able to develop reusable Mule configuration files containing, for instance, entire flows. Of course I have seen the strategy that uses property files and the Spring PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer to inject different values into Mule components depending on the values from the property files. While providing… Read More »
Starting with JDK 7 update 40 (7u40), the Java Mission Control is bundled with the HotSpot JVM. The Java Mission Control can be used for simple monitoring of a Mule instance, for instance during development or for those content with what the community edition of Mule has to offer. In fact, Java Mission Control can… Read More »
Today I saw two things I cannot recall having seen before: The first thing was a WSDL for a web service in which the target namespace and the service address were identical. As far as I know, there is nothing that disallows this, it is only peculiar – at least to me. The second thing… Read More »
In this post I will show a proof-of-concept for a dynamic HTTP proxy implemented using Mule. Principle The proxy forwards HTTP request using the context and relative path parts of the request URL to determine the server and port to which the request is to be forwarded. In the example in this article a SOAP… Read More »
My very first blog post described how to unit test Mule transformers that access session and/or invocation scoped message properties. To accomplish that I developed a new, better, Mule message. In this post I will describe how this new Mule message class can be extended to allow for session and/or invocation scoped message properties to… Read More »
