solace-mule-connector-examples

This repository contains example flows demonstrating features of the Solace Connector for Mulesoft

It contains the following flows:

  • simplesenderlistener: Listen for and send messages - direct and guaranteed
  • Using consume operation
  • Request-reply with a responder service
  • Manual Message Acknowledgement
  • Complex message - JSON payload

Connector Documentation

For your reference of the documentation of the connector can be found at: https://github.com/solace-iot-team/solace-mule-connector/blob/master/README.md

How to import & run the examples

Clone git repository

git clone git@github.com:solace-iot-team/solace-mule-connector-examples.git

Import project(s) into Anypoint Studio

Follow the instructions to import an "Anypoint Studio Project from File System": Importing and Exporting Projects

Run a flow

Review the connector configuration(s) and adjust if necessary. The projects are configured to connect to a locally deployed broker that doesn;t require authentication such as deployed following the instructions for Using docker.

Then simply run the flow within the project and observe the console/log output in Anypoint Studio to verify the example is running. To do this open the Flow XML file in the project, right-click on the canvas and choose the "Run project [...]" menu option

simplesenderlistener - Listen for and send messages

This example uses simple text payloads. It contains three flows:

  • directListener: a topic subscriber listening on topic t/simple/direct, this is configured in the inline subscriptions element. You can add wild card subscriptions and add multiple subscriptions.
  • guaranteedListener: a queue consumer subscribing to queue q/simple. The OnGuaranteedMessage node also sets a subscription to add to the queue - t/simple/direct. The queue will be auto provisioned as the Provision Queue property on the Advanced property sheet is set to "true".
  • simplesenderFlow: publishes a text message to t/simple/direct triggered periodically by the scheduler node.

How to verify it is working?

Messages received by the two listener flows are logged to the output with a prefix indicating the flow.

INFO  2020-07-22 18:08:46,861 [[MuleRuntime].cpuLight.23: [simplesenderlistener].directListener.CPU_LITE @b5ceadc] [event: fe9e4cc0-cc3d-11ea-96db-f018982a62eb] DIRECT-SOURCE - : Hello listeners
INFO  2020-07-22 18:08:46,861 [[MuleRuntime].cpuLight.22: [simplesenderlistener].guaranteedListener.CPU_LITE @6b663d69] [event: fe9ee900-cc3d-11ea-96db-f018982a62eb] GUARANTEED-SOURCE - : Hello listeners

Using consume operation

This example uses simple text payloads.

It contains two flows:

  • produceFlow - periodically sends a guaranteed message to queue - q/consumeexample. The queue will be auto provisioned as the Provision Queue property on the Advanced property sheet is set to "true".
  • consumeFlow - periodically attempts to receive a message using the consume operation. Note that the scheduler has an initial delay to ensure a message is already enqueued when it's running for the first time.

How to verify it's working?

Message received by the consumeFlow are logged ot the console/log output:

INFO  2020-07-23 12:23:33,206 [[MuleRuntime].io.11: [consume].consumeFlow.BLOCKING @2480d044] [event: f1510d71-ccd6-11ea-a970-f018982a62eb] CONSUME OPERATION - : Hello Consume

Request reply

Demonstrates request-reply with direct messaging.

This example uses simple text payloads.

It contains two flows:

  • responderFlow: listens for messages on a topic t/example/request, logs the message received and sends a response message to a requestor. Note that the Publish direct operation assigns the topic and correlation id from the metadata of the received message so the message is routed to the requestor. It also makrs the message as a reply.
  • requestFlow: periodically sends a request and attempts to receive a response. The process logs the response received from requestorFlow

How to verify it's working?

The requestFlow logs the reponse it receives, the responderFlow logs the request it receives before sending a response. You will observe logging in the console/log output similar to this:

INFO  2020-07-23 12:30:13,760 [[MuleRuntime].cpuLight.22: [requestreply].responderFlow.CPU_LITE @f48751b] [event: e012e0f0-ccd7-11ea-94f4-f018982a62eb] RESPONDER - : Hello responder
INFO  2020-07-23 12:30:13,764 [[MuleRuntime].io.11: [requestreply].requestFlow.BLOCKING @4ae4b7bc] [event: e0126bc1-ccd7-11ea-94f4-f018982a62eb] REQUESTOR - : This is the response

Manual acknowledgement

Demonstrates manually acknowledging messages.

This example uses simple text payloads.

Please inspect the connector configuguration's Endpoint Consumer tab - the acknowledgement mode is set to MANUAL_CLIENT.

It contains two flows:

  • manualackFlow: listens for guaranteed messages on queue q/manualack, it's set to "Auto provision" queue. The process first logs that it receives a message, then waits for 4 seconds, logs that it acknowledges the message and acks the message, then logs the message payload.
  • publishFlow: publishes a message periodically (every 30 seconds)

How to verify it's working?

On every message the manualackFlow writes the followng entries into the log - note that the "Got a message" and "acking message" log entries will be around 4 seconds apart as outlined above:

INFO  2020-07-23 13:23:03,129 [[MuleRuntime].cpuLight.21: [manualack].manualackFlow.CPU_LITE @47b98f2c] [event: 412a3580-ccdf-11ea-98f0-f018982a62eb] MANUALACK - : Got a message
INFO  2020-07-23 13:23:07,130 [[MuleRuntime].cpuLight.21: [manualack].manualackFlow.CPU_LITE @47b98f2c] [event: 412a3580-ccdf-11ea-98f0-f018982a62eb] MANUALACK - : Acking message
INFO  2020-07-23 13:23:07,132 [[MuleRuntime].io.11: [manualack].manualackFlow.BLOCKING @1ed230b5] [event: 412a3580-ccdf-11ea-98f0-f018982a62eb] MANUALACK - : A guaranteed message

You can monitor the queue in the Solace admin UI and should be able to observe a message in the queu if you check straight when "Got a message" was logged.

Complex Message - JSON

Demonstrates a process with a JSON message and how this can be easily serialised and de-serialised.

It contains two flows:

  • jsonSendFlow: this process runs periodically, sets a JSON payload and then publishes it as a direct message. Note:
    • The Set Payload node specifies the json payload - {"greeting": "hello","name": "solace"} and sets the MIME type to application\json. It's payload output metadat is set to a HelloWorld message type which represents the schema of the JSON payload.
    • Publish direct uses the payload created by Set Payload as its message body. It doesn't specify a MIME type and sends it to t/json/greeting. The metadata of the input payload is set to the HelloWorld type described above.
  • jsonListenerFlow: triggered on receipt of a message on the topic t/json/greeting. The metadata of the output payload of OnDirectMessage is also set to the HelloMessage type. The Logger outputs the name attribute of the JSON message.

How to verify it's working?

On every message jsonListenerFlow outputs the name attribute of the JSON payload received:

INFO  2020-07-23 13:35:50,946 [[MuleRuntime].cpuLight.15: [jsonmessage].jsonListenerFlow.CPU_LITE @560e1345] [event: 0ad1a200-cce1-11ea-86ea-f018982a62eb] greeting to: solace
