To use Anypoint Code Builder to configure a connector or module, create a basic integration project in Anypoint Code Builder, add connectors and other components to your Mule application to process your business logic, and configure the attributes.
Before creating an integration project, you must:
Set up and access the Anypoint Code Builder web or desktop IDE
Have credentials to access the connector’s API
Ensure that the Visual Studio Code Extension Pack for Java is installed.
To use this connector, you must be familiar with:
The connector’s API
Anypoint Connectors
Mule runtime engine (Mule)
To create a new integration project:
In the activity bar of the IDE, click the
(Anypoint Code Builder) icon.
From Quick Actions, click Develop an Integration:

Complete the following in the Develop an Integration form:
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
Project Name |
Unique name for your project. This name is used as the title and name of the integration project file.
For example, if the project name is "Salesforce Integration," the project file name is |
Project Location |
Your home directory or another directory you create. Click Browse to select a different directory for the integration project. Don’t create the project within another project directory. |
Select the type of project to create by selecting either the Empty Project or Template or Example card.
Select the Mule runtime and Java Version for your app.
Click Create Project.
Anypoint Connectors provide operations for retrieving, modifying, and sending data to and from systems.
In addition to the built-in connectors that Anypoint Code Builder provides, you can download many other connectors from Anypoint Exchange.
To import a connector from Exchange and add it to your configuration:
In the Explorer view, open the configuration XML file for your project, such as my-project-name.xml.
Click the
(Show Mule graphical mode) icon in the activity bar to open the canvas UI if it doesn’t open automatically.
Add the connector the same way you added other components from the canvas UI:
In the canvas UI, click the
(Add component) icon.
In the Add Component panel, click Connectors.
Click the connector name and then click the operation to add, such as Publish:

If the connector is not available locally, click the
(Search in Exchange) toggle:

| 1 | Search locally |
| 2 | Search in Exchange |
Select the connector to add to your project.
Select the operation from the Add Component panel.
Adding a connector to an integration project does not make that connector available to other projects in your Anypoint Code Builder workspace.
A trigger (source) initiates a flow when a specified condition is met. You can configure one of these triggers to use with Database Connector:
Database > On Table Row
Initiates a flow by selecting from a table at a regular interval and generates one message per obtained row
HTTP > Listener
Initiates a flow each time it receives a request on the configured host and port
Scheduler
Initiates a flow when a time-based condition is met.
For example, to configure the On Table Row source:
Add the On Table Row component to the canvas.
Click the On Table Row component on the canvas.
In the General tab, configure the following attributes:
| UI Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
Table |
Name of the database table to select from. |
Yes |
Watermark column |
Values taken from this column are used to filter the contents of the next poll, so that only rows with a greater watermark value are processed. |
No |
Id column |
Used in conjunction with Watermark column, which is the name of the column to consider as the row ID. If provided, this component ensures that the same row is not processed twice by concurrent polls. |
No |
Scheduling strategy |
Triggers execution of the flow based on a time-based condition. This attribute is not currently enabled in the configuration UI. Configure it in the XML editor. See Configuring the Scheduling Strategy in XML. |
Yes |
Select the Advanced tab to configure the following attributes:
| UI Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
Transactional action |
Type of joining action that operations can use in transactions:
|
No |
Transaction type |
The type of transaction to create (XA or Local). Availability depends on the Mule runtime version. Local is the default. |
No |
Primary node only |
Select this option to execute the On Table Row trigger only on the primary node when running in a cluster. |
No |
Redelivery policy |
This attribute is not currently enabled in the configuration UI. Configure it in the XML editor. See Redelivery Policy. |

Although you can manually code a Mule app in XML, it is more efficient to use Anypoint Code Builder:
If you manually code a Mule runtime engine (Mule) app in XML from the Anypoint Code Builder XML editor, you can access the connector from your app by adding reference statements to both your XML Mule flow and the Apache Maven pom.xml file.
If you add the connector in Anypoint Code Builder, Studio automatically populates the XML code with the connector’s namespace and schema location and it also adds a dependency to the pom.xml file.
This example shows how the namespace statements are placed in the <mule> XML block:
<mule xmlns:<value>="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/<value>"
xmlns:ee="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ee/core"
xmlns:http="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http"
xmlns:file="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/file"
xmlns="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core"

http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/<value>
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/<value>/current/mule-<value>.xsd">
The Apache Maven pom.xml file generated by Anypoint Code Builder contains dependencies for a Mule app. If you code a Mule app manually, include this XML snippet in your pom.xml file to enable access to this connector:
<dependency>
<groupId>{group-id-exchange}</groupId>
<artifactId>{artifact-id-exchange}</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x</version>
<classifier>mule-plugin</classifier>
</dependency>
Replace x.x.x with the version that corresponds to the connector you are using.
To obtain the most up-to-date pom.xml file information:
Go to Anypoint Exchange.
In Exchange, click Login and supply your Anypoint Platform username and password.
In Exchange, search for the connector.
Select the connector.
Click Dependency Snippets.
Database (Database Connector) can connect to any database for which a JDBC driver is available. The following XML examples show how to connect to the most popular databases such as Derby, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, and a generic database.
In the XML editor, the configuration looks like this:
<db:config name="Database_Config" >
<db:derby-connection database="derbyDB" />
</db:config>
In the XML editor, the configuration looks like this:
<db:config name="Database_Config">
<db:generic-connection driverClassName="org.h2.Driver"
url="jdbc:h2:file:/tmp/datasenseDB"/>
</db:config>
In the XML editor, the configuration looks like this:
<db:config name="Database_Config">
<db:mssql-connection
host="0.0.0.0"
port="553"
user="Max"
password="password"
databaseName="microsoftDB" />
</db:config>
After you configure the connections, add the JDBC driver. The following example shows how to add a driver for MySQL Database:
Add a Maven dependency to your project’s pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>mysql</groupId>
<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
<version>5.1.48</version>
</dependency>
Configure your pom.xml file so that Mule exposes the driver dependency to Database Connector:
<build>
<plugins>
<!-- Only used to declare the shared libraries-->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.mule.tools.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>mule-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<configuration>
<sharedLibraries>
<sharedLibrary>
<groupId>mysql</groupId>
<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
</sharedLibrary>
</sharedLibraries>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Add components to your integration project to build a flow:
In the Explorer view, open the XML file for your project, such as my-project-name.xml.
Select Build a Flow from the start card to create an empty flow:

Change the name of the flow:
Click Flow.
Click the edit icon.

Enter the flow name, and click the checkmark.
In the canvas UI, click the
(Add component) icon.
In the Add Component panel, search for and select your component from the results. The following example shows the Listener component from the HTTP search results:

The configuration XML file now includes the XML for the HTTP Listener into the <flow/> element, for example:
<flow name="getFlights" >
<http:listener path="" config-ref="" doc:name="Listener" doc:id="ojzfry" />
</flow>
After you add components to your integration project, configure the attributes in the component UI, or configure the attributes directly in the XML code editor.
Connector XML tags start with a namespace followed by an operation, following the syntax namespace:operation, such as <db:select/> for a Select operation in Anypoint Connector for Database (Database Connector).
You can use autocomplete from an expression (fx) field for a component to select DataWeave functions from the Core module and other values accepted in this field.
This operation enables delete operations to execute at various times using different parameter bindings and a single database statement.

This operation invokes a stored procedure on the database. When the stored procedure returns one or more ResultSet instances, results are not read all at once. Instead, results are automatically streamed to prevent performance and memory issues. This behavior means that pages of fetchSize rows are loaded lazily when needed. If the Stored procedure operation is performed inside a transaction (for example, in a Try scope component), and that transaction is closed before consuming the data, accessing the results that haven’t been loaded fails.
Add the Stored Procedure operation to the canvas.
Click the Stored Procedure component on the canvas.

The following is an XML example of a standard reconnection strategy setting the count of reconnection attempts before failing to 5 and setting failsDeployment to true, which causes the application deployment to fail if the connection test fails. Because a frequency is not specified, the retry interval is the default of every 2000 ms:
<db:config name="Database_Config" doc:name="Database Config" doc:id="79ae8d0f-e0af-4901-961d-b80befbf3f86" >
<db:data-source-connection >
<reconnection failsDeployment="true" >
<reconnect count="5"/>
</reconnection>
</db:data-source-connection>
</db:config>
The following is an XML example of a reconnect forever strategy where the connector attempts to reconnect every 4000 ms for as long as the application runs:
<db:config name="Database_Config1" doc:name="Database Config" doc:id="c0aaf1dd-ab6e-49ee-9e4d-8b5799945cc9">
<db:data-source-connection>
<reconnection failsDeployment="true">
<reconnection>
<reconnect-forever frequency="4000"/>
</reconnection>
</reconnection>
</db:data-source-connection>
</db:config>
You can configure how Mule handles streams with streaming strategies.
The following is an XML example of reading a file that is configured with a 1 MB buffer:
<file:read path="bigFile.json">
<repeatable-file-store-stream
inMemorySize="1"
bufferUnit="MB"/>
</file:read>
If you consistently process a file that’s no larger than 10 KB, you can save memory by reducing the inMemorySize attribute:
<file:read path="smallFile.json">
<repeatable-file-store-stream
inMemorySize="10"
bufferUnit="KB"/>
</file:read>
The following XML example shows an in-memory repeatable stream with a 512 KB initial size, which grows at a rate of 256 KB and allows up to 2000 KB (2 MB) of content in memory:
<file:read path="exampleFile.json">
<repeatable-in-memory-stream
initialBufferSize="512"
bufferSizeIncrement="256"
maxInMemorySize="2000"
bufferUnit="KB"/>
</file:read>
This is an example of the fixed frequency scheduling strategy XML using the default values:
<flow name="db-connector-acbFlow" doc:id="1c863ef7-d9e6-48ab-be8e-f1465d2b619d" >
<db:listener doc:name="On Table Row" doc:id="81d4cf34-bb0d-497c-bc3f-316f4e79ad85" >
<scheduling-strategy >
<fixed-frequency frequency="1000" startDelay="0" timeUnit="MILLISECONDS"/>
</scheduling-strategy>
</db:listener>
</flow>
For more complex scheduling strategies, you can use a cron expression:
<flow name="db-connector-acbFlow" doc:id="1c863ef7-d9e6-48ab-be8e-f1465d2b619d" >
<db:listener doc:name="On Table Row" doc:id="81d4cf34-bb0d-497c-bc3f-316f4e79ad85" >
<scheduling-strategy>
<cron expression="0 0 12 * * ?" timeZone="America/Los_Angeles"/>
</scheduling-strategy>
</db:listener>
</flow>
Anypoint Code Builder creates the initial Mule configuration XML file in src/main/mule
within the Mule project.
This file contains global configurations and flow structures.
You can create additional configuration files, for example, to store global configurations.
To create a new XML configuration file:
In the Explorer view, right-click the mule folder (src/main/mule) and select New File.
Alternatively, use the menu.
Select the mule folder, and then:
In the desktop IDE, select File > New Mule Configuration File.
In the cloud IDE, click the
(menu) icon, and select File > New File.
Enter a name for the new file with the .xml extension.
In the Editor view for the new file, press Ctrl+Space to display available options.
Select Empty mule configuration:

This command adds the following code to the file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
