Summary
Mule ESB provides a messaging framework that enables exchange of data
among
applications. The application functionality is wrapped as a service, which
includes a service
component (the business logic that processes the data), routers (which use
endpoints to
specify where to send the message), and other configuration settings.
Transports carry the
messages on different channels from service to service, and transformers
convert the messages
and data as needed along the way.
