Module 1: Building Mule 4 Applications
- use new features of Anypoint Studio 7 including the new Mule Palette, externalized connectors, and more
- describe the structure of new Mule 4 projects and deployable archives
- use the new Mule 4 event model to get and set data
- enrich Mule messages directly in a connector instead of using the Mule 3 Message Enricher scope
- write inline expressions using DataWeave 2 instead of MEL
- configure flow performance by configuring max concurrency instead of thread pools in Mule 4
Module 2: Configuring Mule 4 Applications and Domains
- create Mule 4 domains using Maven coordinates and use them to inherit all dependencies
- create and use YAML configuration files to organise properties into hierarchical namespaces
- add secure properties to Mule 4 applications
Module 3: Integrating with External Services using Mule 4
- use one common, unified operations syntax to configure and use all Mule connectors
- apply both read and write operations for JMS, Database, File, and FTP connectors anywhere in a flow
- import and integrate with Java libraries
- use repeatable and concurrent streams with File and FTP connectors
- use dynamic and parameterised values together in a single database query
Module 7: Connecting to and Processing Data Sources in Mule 4
- use Mule 4 connector listeners to poll databases and file systems for changes
- use Mule 4 connector operations to transform and write out data between files, databases, and an FTP server
- use watermarks and object stores to avoid duplicate message processing
- concurrently process a collection of data inside a flow using Mule 4 Batch scopes
Module 6: Transforming Data with Mule 4
- use new syntax and features of DataWeave 2 to write expressions and scripts
- simplify and abstract DataWeave 2 code into reusable functions and modules
- call static Java methods from DataWeave 2 expressions
- call Java methods using the new Java module
- pass in parameters to external scripts from a Mule 4 flow
Module 5: Handling Errors and Debugging in Mule 4
- catch Mule 4 errors using the new Mule error handling framework
- distinguish between the behaviour of Mule 4 On Error Continue and On Error Propagate scopes
- use the new Try scope to handle errors for one or more event processors instead of at the flow level
- catch and handle custom Mule 4 error mappings
Module 4: Writing Defensive Code with Mule 4
- build unit test suites for the new Mule 4 event model using MUnit 2
- build simpler MUnit test conditions with MUnitTools
