call Mule ESB endpoint from Activity process

[hashim]

Hi all,

I'm a mule 3 user and want to integrate mule with activity server.
Mule has a transport to connect to activity server , my question is how to call mule endpoint from activity process.

thanks in advance.

At this moment, you probably need to write your own Service Task that does the call, since we don't have anything on boar yet (on the roadmap we have EJB/JMS in the near future, however)

Actually calling a Mule Service from Activiti is currently planned to be done via WebService (was surprising for me as well, but is the current plan from the Mule guys), I mentioned that here as well: http://www.bpm-guide.de/2010/12/09/how-to-call-a-webservice-from-bpmn/.

Cheers

Is the designer also being updated with the WebService element to coincide with the 5.1 release? I didn't see a separate issue for that in the JIRA.

Thanks
Walter

Hi Walter.
I don't think it will include that this quickly, but I can ping Tijs to maybe comment on the current plans.
Cheers

Hi Walter,

Yes we plan to support web services in the designer.
But it will be there no sooner than february 1st for sure.

Best regards,

What is Saddle?

Saddle is an Open Source NetBeans-based graphical frontend to configure the Mule ESB. It allows you to graphically create, view, or edit the configuration files of Mule v2.x and 3.x.
You can even convert a v2.x configuration to a v3.x configuration.

Furthermore, it enables you to graphically map messages from different systems and to apply Java buisiness logic with all comfort you are used from your Java IDE.

Once the configuration work is done, Saddle allows you to administrate and monitor your runing Mule instances via any web browser.
This also includes the graphical tracing of messages through your integration schema.

Learn more about the features of Saddle in the documentation section.
