Salesforce Connector 11.3 XML and Maven Support

If you manually code a Mule app in XML either from the Anypoint Studio XML editor or a text editor, perform the following actions to get access to the connector:

Add the namespace for the connector to your XML flow.
Add dependency information to your Maven pom.xml file.

In the Studio visual editor, when you drag a connector from the palette to the canvas, Studio automatically populates the XML code with the connector namespace and schema location.

Add a Namespace for the Connector

Paste the following code inside the <mule> tag of the header of your configuration XML:

http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/salesforce
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/salesforce/current/mule-salesforce.xsd

This example shows how the namespace statements are placed in the mule XML block:

<mule xmlns:salesforce="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/salesforce"
	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"
	xmlns:doc="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/documentation"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core/current/mule.xsd
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/file
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/file/current/mule-file.xsd
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http/current/mule-http.xsd
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ee/core
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ee/core/current/mule-ee.xsd
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/salesforce
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/salesforce/current/mule-salesforce.xsd">

Add a POM File Dependency

The Maven pom.xml file generated by Studio contains dependencies for a Mule app. When you code a Mule app manually, include this XML snippet in your pom.xml file to enable access to this connector.

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.mulesoft.connectors</groupId>
  <artifactId>mule-salesforce-connector</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <classifier>mule-plugin</classifier>
</dependency>

Replace x.x.x with version information from Exchange. Ensure the connector version corresponds to the one 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 salesforce.
Select the connector.
Click Dependency Snippets near the upper right of the screen.

After completing your namespace and pom.xml file, you can try the Salesforce Examples.
