Mule 3.1 Improvements
The biggest enhancements in Mule 3.1 are the new features for Mule Cloud-Connect. It is now very simple to, for instance:
-
Invoke a cloud service
-
Use the data it returns to invoke other services
-
Combine the data returned by all of these services
-
Use the result to invoke yet another service (or write it to a database, or persist it as XML, or format it as a web page, or…There’s really no limit but your imagination.)
Migration from Previous Versions
For instructions on migrating from a previous version, consult the Mule Migration page.
Invocation Improvements
The three main innovations are:
-
invoke, which makes calling a cloud service a snap.
-
poll, which makes it easy to poll a service for incoming data.
-
enricher, which lets you combine data from many different calls into one rich message.
Improvements to Logging
In addition, Mule configurations now support a simple yet powerful logging facility, which provides access to log4J levels and categories together with the full range of Mule expressions. For instance,
-
CXF 2.3.0 support includes WS-Addressing, WS-Reliable Messaging, and WS-Secure Conversation
