Modules Reference

This topic relates to the most recent version of Mule ESB. To see the corresponding topic in a previous version of Mule ESB, click MULE2USER:UsingMuleModules[here]. |
Modules are similar to transports in that they provide pluggable functionality, configured via dedicated schema, but they differ in that there is no underlying transport to send or receive data. Following is a list of the default Mule ESB modules.
| Module | Description |

Support for consuming and creating Atom feeds. |
