Mule是我比较关注的ESB产品之一。
从关系来看，其实ServiceMix才是我的初恋：）
这个文档是几个月前的一些简要的学习笔记，希望对大家有所帮助。（也算OpenDoc了一回，免得良心上老是被谴责：只进不出）
目前最新的版本是1.3-rc4。
下面是Mule的一些重要特性：
- J2EE 1.4 Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and Messaging broker
- Pluggable connectivity such as Jms (1.0.2b and 1.1), vm (embedded), jdbc, tcp, udp, multicast, http, servlet, smtp, pop3, file, xmpp.
- JBI Integration.
