Debugging Mule File Connector Usage

This document provides an overview of debugging Mule applications, connectors and modules, the File connector, and the Mule event model. It discusses debugging tools in Anypoint Studio, connectors vs modules, the main operations of the File connector, and provides examples of using the File connector and polling for new files that demonstrate the Mule event model.

Debugging a Mule Application

 Anypoint Studio Visual Debugger allows you to run your


application in Debug mode.
 You can add breakpoints to processors and step through
the application.
- In Debug mode, application stops its execution when
debug point encounters.
- Watch event properties and values.
- Watch and evaluate Data Weave expressions.
 By default, Debugger listens for incoming TCP connections
on local host port 6666.

Connectors & Modules

 Modules :

- Modules are extensions to the Mule runtime that you can use when
building a Mule application ( Not to connect to external application)
- These are Mule inbuild , developed and supported by MuleSoft
- Example : Compression Module, Validation Module, Spring Module,
Aggregator Module

 Connectors :

- These facilitate integrations with the third-party applications,


Databases.
- We use connectors to connect a Mule app to specific software
applications, databases, and protocols.
- Connectors abstract the technical details involved with
connecting to a target system.
- Example : File Connector, Database Connector, SFDC, SAP.
File Connector

 There are 4 connectors available to work with files and folders.


- File
- FTP
- SFTP
- FTPS

 All 4 connectors perform same kind of operations.

- On New Or Updated File : pools for a new/update file


- Read : to read file.
- Write : to write file.
- List : List the files and folders in given directory.
- Move : Moves the file from one location to other.
Using File Connector

Add File Connector to project.


Mule pallet > Add modules > Select File module > Drag drop on
Pallet.
To use File connector :
Create a Global configuration For File. ( Mule config
file -> Global elements > Create > Connector config
> File Config)
Mule pallet > File Connector > choose respective
operation, drag drop on canvas. ( specify its
properties)

> Example 1 : Poll for a New file and print the


contents in file.
> Example 2 : Send the file name from Http request
and read it from the mule process.
> Example 3 : Poll for a file and write the contents of a
file into a new file.
> All examples will cover Mule4 event model as well.
