Mule ESB Integration


XAP comes with comprehensive support for Mule version 3.3. It allows you to use the Space as a Mule external transport, enabling receiving and dispatching of POJO messages over the Space. An additional transport called os-queue allows you to replace the Mule VM transport with highly available inter VM transport over the Space. It also enhances the Mule SEDA model, allowing you to store a Mule internal SEDA queue over the Space. A Mule application can be packaged and run as a Processing Unit within one of the SLA-driven Processing Unit containers.


  • Event Container
    XAP’s event container transport uses event components that allow you to send and receive POJO messages over the Space using Mule.

  • Processing Unit
    The Mule Processing Unit allows you to run Mule within a Processing Unit, thus leveraging all of the Processing Unit and SLA-driven container capabilities.

  • Queue Provider
    The XAP queue provider is used for internal space-based communication between services managed by Mule.

  • SEDA Model
    XAP’s Mule SEDA model allows you to define services that are aware of the space mode they are working with; and to store SEDA queues in a virtualized space queue instead of Mule’s default VM queues.
