Create Custom Connector Using Mule XML SDK

MuleSoft creates a great opportunity of reusing the readily available connectors but in some cases, the connector might not be available for connecting to a particular system. We need to write custom logic like spring beans/Java code to connect to it. However, if we don't want to include the same logic in every API which implements the requirement, we can create a custom connector. There are broadly two types of custom connectors:

  1. Java SDK
  2. XML SDK.

This article will look at the XML SDK, which provides an easier learning curve than Java SDK and is more like developing a Mule application.

OSIsoft PI Historian Connector for MuleSoft

Hi there,

In this short tutorial, I will quickly walk you through our brand new OSIsoft PI Historian connector for Mule 4. This connector is developed by IntegrationWorks Australia and you can reach out to us if you want to know more about this connection.

MuleSoft Custom Connector With XML SDK

Introduction

MuleSoft created an XML SDK that lets developers write custom connectors and it's actually easier than using the Java-based Mule SDK. The new XML SDK is one of the easiest ways to write code for a custom connector with MuleSoft.

Here are the basic components of the new SDK:

PGP Encryption in Mule 4: How it Works

Expert in the field (10/10 deserves a sugar cube)

Overview

The flow of information that runs through the average business every day is like a river. It’s massive and holds the potential for danger if you’re not careful. Scammers easily lift data from your payment systems if you let them and use it to steal your information. When working with clients, it's very common to receive and send sensitive information, such as server names, usernames, passwords, or even clients' internal information. Sharing this information via an email, text, files, or a 'chat' program is very insecure, unless you encrypt the information using a good encryption method.

Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is a data encryption and decryption computer program that provides cryptographic privacy and authentication for data communication. PGP is often used for signing, encrypting and decrypting texts, E-mails, files, directories, and whole disk partitions to increase the security of e-mail communications. It was created by Phil Zimmermann in 1991.
