What is not true about Mule Domain Project?

B . Expose multiple services within the Mule domain on the same port
C . Only available Anypoint Runtime Fabric
D . Send events (messages) to other Mule applications using VM queues

Answer: C

Explanation:

* Mule Domain Project is ONLY available for customer-hosted Mule runtimes, but not for Anypoint Runtime Fabric

* Mule domain project is available for Hybrid and Private Cloud (PCE). Rest all provide application isolation and can’t support domain project.

What is Mule Domain Project?

* A Mule Domain Project is implemented to configure the resources that are shared among different projects. These resources can be used by all the projects associated with this domain. Mule applications can be associated with only one domain, but a domain can be associated with multiple projects. Shared resources allow multiple development teams to work in parallel using the same set of reusable connectors. Defining these connectors as shared resources at the domain level allows the team to: – Expose multiple services within the domain through the same port. – Share the connection to persistent storage. – Share services between apps through a well-defined interface. – Ensure consistency between apps upon any changes because the configuration is only set in one place.

* Use domains Project to share the same host and port among multiple projects. You can declare the http connector within a domain project and associate the domain project with other projects. Doing this also allows to control thread settings, keystore configurations, time outs for all the requests made within multiple applications. You may think that one can also achieve this by duplicating the http connector configuration across all the applications. But, doing this may pose a nightmare if you have to make a change and redeploy all the applications.

* If you use connector configuration in the domain and let all the applications use the new domain instead of a default domain, you will maintain only one copy of the http connector configuration. Any changes will require only the domain to the redeployed instead of all the applications.

You can start using domains in only three steps:

1) Create a Mule Domain project

2) Create the global connector configurations which needs to be shared across the applications inside the Mule Domain project

3) Modify the value of domain in mule-deploy.properties file of the applications
