Fixed Issues

November 2, 2018

Compatibility

Application/Service Version

Mule

3.6.0 and later

AWS SDK for Java

1.11.79

Features

  • The Amazon SQS Connector now supports Canada (Central) (ca-central-1) and EU (London) (eu-west-2)

Fixed Issues

  • Connector continued retrieving messages when a flow was stopped - In previous versions the connector continued retrieving messages after the Mule app was stopped. In the current version, after the Mule app stops, the connector stops retrieving messages.

  • Multiple connections established - Previously, the connector would make a high number of connections, even if the polling was set to a high value.

  • Connector stopped working after receiving a 500 error from Amazon - The connector stopped receiving messages when a Status Code 500 was received from Amazon. This was fixed, and the connector attempts a reconnection in cases like this.

December 19, 2017

Compatibility

Application/Service Version

Mule

3.5.0 and later

AWS SDK for Java

1.11.79

Connector DevKit

3.9.4

Features

  • References DevKit 3.9.4

Fixed Issues

  • messageId and md5OfMessageAttributes swapped - In previous versions the messageId was mapped to the md5OfMessageAttributes attribute and vice versa. In version 4.2.1, these attributes are correctly mapped.

  • SendMessageBatchREquestEntry SQS DataType only from Java code - In past versions, the only way to use SendMessageBatchREquestEntry SQS DataType was by using Java Code. In version 4.2.1, it is also possible by DataWeave.

  • Test Connection fails when queue name contains dot (".") character - In past versions when the name contained a dot character, Test Connection failed when using the queue name. In version 4.2.1, the TestConnection works correctly.

  • App hangs after stopping and restarting sequence - In the previous version when stopping the application and then restarting it, the application hung with an org.mule.api.lifecycle.LifecycleException. In version 4.2.1, the stop and restart sequence works correctly.

4.2.0

March 30, 2017

Compatibility

Application/Service Version

Mule

3.6.0 and later

AWS SDK for Java

1.11.79

Features

  • FIFO queue support in addition to standard queues. FIFO queues ensure the order of messages.

  • AssumeRole for authentication in addition to IAM AccessKey and SecretKey.

Fixed Issues

  • In earlier versions, when the Amazon SQS Connector is used as an inbound endpoint, the custom exception strategy could not be invoked, and the source stopped polling for messages when an exception occurred. Now SQS as a source does not stop polling messages when an uncaught exception and custom exception strategy can be invoked.

  • Handling of binary attributes in sendMessage operation.

  • Support for Retry Policy - The connector will perform a maximum of 10 retries when a request fails due to server-side throttling or dropped connection.

Fixed Issues
