Hi Tejas,
Nice tutorial! Let's keep our fingers crossed that this works. I'm on day 3 of uptime. I would like to put this all to rest.
An easy solution to your problem would be not to use the threading profile-based strategy you were setting up and replace the scripting component with a pooled java component configured.
How can implement MuleSoft integration with other services?
Excellent tutorials – very easy to understand with all the details of the config parameters you provide. I hope you will continue to provide more such tutorials.
If MuleSoft starts to prosper, it is likely at least some of these well-funded competitors would come up with a competing solution, or they may even be developing one already.
I recommend Videos Courses from MuleSoft Training on Mac and Windows.
I want to learn MuleSoft ESB, I am not a java resource, weather I am eligible to learn lot required to learn Java also.
Muchas Gracias,
Sharma
