2. Ajax Connector
Ajax is an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, a cluster of
related technologies that facilitate the creation of asynchronous Web
applications. The Ajax Connector, which can be configured as an inbound
or outbound endpoint, creates a transport channel to send messages
asynchronously to and from an Ajax server, which communicates with
external Web resources.
3. Configuration
Configuration of an Ajax endpoint typically requires two steps:
Decide where you want to place the Ajax endpoint within your Mule flow, then
drag it from the Palette to the appropriate place in the sequence of building
blocks that make up your Mule flow.
If you place the Ajax endpoint at the beginning of the flow, it acts as an
inbound endpoint (such as in your message source).
If you place the Ajax building block in the middle or at the end of the flow, it
serves as an outbound endpoint.
Configure the Ajax endpoint (and the Connector Configuration it depends on
to define its transport channel) by providing values for the fields on the various
tabs on the Ajax endpoint properties editor, which you open by double-
clicking the Ajax icon on the Message Flow canvas.
