This document provides an overview and beginner's guide to getting started with Mule ESB. It introduces Mule concepts like ESB, discusses setting up the Mule IDE and studio, configuring components, and deploying Mule applications. It also describes Mule architecture layers, common components like transformers and filters, and tasks for deployment like orchestration and integration.

1. Mule - Beginners guide

2. Getting started with Mule ESB :
 Understanding mule concepts and terminologies
 Setting up Mule IDE
 Installing Mule studio
 Configuring Mule components
 Deploying

3. Introduction :
 Mule ESB is a light weight java programming language.
 Through ESB you can integrate or communicate with
multiple applications.
 ESB enables easy integration of existing systems,
regardless of different technologies that the applications use,
including JMS, web services, JDBC and HTTP.

4. Understanding Mule Concepts and
Terminologies :
 ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) is an application that gives
access to other applications and services. Its main task is to
be the messaging and integration backbone if enterprise.
 An ESB is a distributed middle ware system to integrate
different applications.
 An ESB is used for integration using a service orientated
approach, its main features are listed below :

5.  Polling JMS
 Message transformation and routing services
 Tomcat hot deployment
 Web service security

6. Layers of ESB :
There are three layers in its architecture :
 Application layer
 Integration layer
 Transport layer

7. Tasks for deployment :
 Service component deployment
 Service Orchestration
 Integration
 Spring Beans
 Agents
 Connectors
 Global configuration

8.  Global end points
 Global elements
 Global message processor
 Transformers
 Filters
 Modules
 Services
 Endpoints
 Flow

9. Components :
 General components
 Script components
 Webservice components
 Echo
 Logger
 REST
 SOAP

10. Transformers :
 Custom transformers
 object to XML transformers
 Script transformers
 XSLT transformer

11. Filters :
 Custom filter
 Exception filter
 Expression filter
 Message property filter
 Regular expression filter
 Wildcard filter
 Payload filter

12. Routers :
 All
 Choice
 All  can be used to send message to multiple targets. Basically
it sends messaged to all routes.
 Choice  used to send messages to first message processor that
matches. It routes messages based on expressions.

13. Cloud connectors :
 Sales force
 Twitter ….. etc
