Connect your enterprise to a wide range of SaaS platforms, Open APIs, and social networks quickly and without difficulty. Through step-by-step instructions and numerous real-world examples, this concise guide shows you how to seamlessly integrate the external services you need with Mule ESB and its powerful Cloud Connect toolset.
Youll learn how to use service-specific connectors for many popular APIs—including Salesforce, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Twilio—through easy-to-learn abstractions. If Mule doesnt have a connector for the resource you need, youll learn how to build your own. Youll discover how easy it is to reach beyond the enterprise firewall for a host of Internet resources.
- Discover the advantages of using Mule Cloud Connect over typical web service clients and protocols
- Learn how Cloud Connectors eliminate the need to understand the underlying API of each service
- Get started with the latest real-time technologies, including REST, WebHooks, and Streaming APIs
- Integrate OAuth secure APIs and understand their role in authorization and information sharing
- Delve into advanced topics such as multi-tenancy and connection management
- Build your own custom connectors with the Mule DevKit
Synopsis
This cookbook will cover the topics from a problem/solution angle using working code examples to demonstrate how to build web-services with Mule ESB and Apache CXF. For example, within Mule ESB if you were to setup a CXF web service that used SOAP headers the validation component does not validate the header but only the SOAP body and there is currently no solution advertised on the web. So my book will cover these type of scenarios as well and provide the solutions.
