Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

2. Building upon the information presented
in Mule Concepts, this section offers more
detailed descriptions of the different types of
message sources and message processors,
and what they do within a Mule flow.
4. Anypoint Connectors receive or send
messages between Mule and one or more
external sources, such as files, databases, or
Web services. Connectors can act as
message sources by working as inbound
endpoints, they can act as a message
processor that performs an operation in middle
of a flow, or they can fall at the end of a flow
and act as the recipient of the final payload
data.
5. Connectors in Mule are either endpoint-
based or operation-based. Endpoint-based
connectors follow either a one-way or request-
response exchange pattern and are often (but not
always) named and based around a standard data
communication protocol, such as FTP, JMS, and
SMTP. Operation-based connectors follow an
information exchange pattern based on the
operation that you select and are often (but not
always) named and based around one or more
specific third-party APIs.
6. Endpoint-Based
Connectors :
Endpoint-based connectors
are configured as either
inbound or outbound
endpoints in a flow.
Inbound endpoints serve as
a message source for a
flow. Outbound endpoints
can occur mid-flow or at the
end of flows, and send
information to external
systems.
7. Operation-Based Connectors
When you add an operation-based
connector to your flow, you
immediately define a specific
operation for that connector to
perform.
The XML element of the connector
differs according to the operation that
you select, taking the
form <connectorName>:<operation>.
For
example, sfdc:query orsfdc:upsert-
bulk. The remaining configuration
8. Components are message processors which
execute business logic on messages. They
enable you to perform specific actions without
writing any Mule-specific code. You can drop a
component – a POJO, Spring bean, Java
bean, or script – into a flow to perform almost
any customized task within your Mule
application. For example, you can use a
component to verify that items on an invoice
are in stock in a warehouse, or to update a
database with a customer’s order history.
9. Scripting Components
Mule includes
several scripting
components that you can use
in flows to execute custom
business logic. These
components enable you to
drop a chunk of custom-
written logic into your flow to
act upon messages.
The example below illustrates
the use of a Groovy script
component. The script uses
the value of state to determine
10. Web Service
Components
Also included are two components
to facilitate exposing, consuming,
and proxying Web services. The
CXF component leverages the CXF
framework Mule uses to support
SOAP Web services; the REST
component works with Jersey to
support RESTful Web services;
both are bound to HTTP.
11. HTTP Component
Further, Mule provides an HTTP
component to facilitate working
with calls over HTTP. Use
the HTTP Static Resource
Handler to easily serve up
static content when called.
12. Other Components
Use a Logger component to log
activities in the flow as they occur.
Use an Expression component to
evaluate a particular expression upon a
message in a flow.
Use an Invoke component to invoke the
method of an object specified with a
Mule expression.
Use an Echo component to return the
payload of a message as a call
response.
Use a Flow Ref component to access
another flow from within a flow.
Use a Batch Execute component to kick
off processing of a batch job.
13. Mule provides numerous options for handling errors. Errors,
or faults, that occur within Mule are referred to
as exceptions; when an activity in your Mule instance fails,
Mule throws an exception. To manage these exceptions, Mule
allows you to configure exception strategies.
Mule’s default exception strategy — which implicitly applies to
all Mule applications — manages errors (such as, thrown
exceptions) in Mule flows. When your flows require more
sophisticated error management, you can implement one or
more exception strategies to construct precise, efficient
protocols for handling errors.
From a high level perspective, errors that occur in Mule fall
into one of two categories: System Exceptions,
and Messaging Exceptions.
14. System Exceptions :
Mule invokes a System Exception Strategy when an exception is thrown
at the system-level (i.e., when no message is involved, exceptions are
handled by system exception strategies). For example, system exception
strategies handle exceptions that occur:
During application start-up
When a connection to an external system fails
When a system exception occurs, Mule sends an exception notification to
registered listeners, logs the exception, and — if the exception was caused
by a connection failure — executes the reconnection strategy. System
Exception Strategies are not configurable in Mule.
As an example, imagine Mule establishes a connection to a JMS broker in
order to receive a message. When Mule attempts to use the connection to
consume a message the connection fails, which causes Mule to invoke the
system exception strategy. Because the failure occurred before any
message was received for processing, Mule invoked the system, rather
than messaging, exception strategy.
15. Messaging Exceptions :
Mule invokes a Messaging Exception
Strategy whenever an exception is thrown within a
flow. Whenever a message is involved, exceptions are
handled by messaging exception strategies.
When a message being processed through a Mule
flow throws an exception, normal flow execution
stops. Mule transfers the message to the message
processor sequence within the exception strategy. You
can incorporate any number of message processors
into an exception strategy to handle the exception
precisely as you wish. The diagram below illustrates
what happens when a message throws an exception.

17. In a Mule flow, a Transformer prepares a message for
further processing by enhancing or altering the
contents of the message properties, variables, or
payload. Data transformation is one of the most
powerful functionalities of Mule: rather than spending
a lot of time building a customized connection
between resources or processors, you can just use a
pre-built transformer to perform a standard data
conversion. For example, if the message source in a
flow receives data in XML format, but a downstream
message processor expects a Java object, you can
use an XML-to-Object transformer to convert the
format of the message payload.
18. Transformer Library :
Out of the box, Mule provides a set of standard transformers
to handle the most common data transformation scenarios.
Typically, these elements require minimal configuration so as
to facilitate quick construction of applications that must juggle
different data formats between resources and processors. If
Mule doesn’t have the particular transformer you need, you
can arrange several transformers in a sequence to achieve
the output you need. For example, if you need to implement
an A-to-C transformation but no such transformer exists, you
can arrange a sequence – A-to-B, B-to-C – which effectively
simulates an A-to-C transformer. For example, to convert
XML to JSON, use an XML-to-Object transformer followed by
an Object-to-JSON transformer.
