RE: [Springframework-developer] Spring / Mule integration - step 1

[Keith D. <kd...@cs...>]

Ben,

If you would, let me know when you begin your journey developing a Swing GUI
built on top of Spring.  As the developer for Spring's in-development rich
client support (which is built directly on Swing), I'd love to be able to
combine what we've done so far and our future plans with your expertise and
the ideas you have in mind.  I could really use a sharp mind like yours to
critique and help further evolve the code base!

Right now there is already a substantial amount of functionality in our
project that should considerably jumpstart any swing application development
effort.  The codebase is actively (daily) progressing and will continue to
do so over the coming weeks/months as we work towards release candidate
form.  The mailing list is also starting to get some traffic; and I will be
checking in our first set of real samples later this weekend.

Keith

I just wanted to chime in here and mention what Ross is working towards is
strategically very useful for Spring users.

By simply adding Mule (which BTW is now configurable directly from a Spring
ApplicationContext) Spring users will have the ability to receive events
from external sources (JMS, DB, HTTP etc), then transform them into native
ApplicationEvents and publish them in the ApplicationContext, and then send
ApplicationEvent replies to the ApplicationContext and have Mule send them
off to external sources. So Mule acts as an adapter between
ApplicationEvents and the external world. Mule can also be used directly to
take advantage of the growing library of Mule objects that perform message
transformation etc.

I recently added some ApplicationEvent support to Acegi Security CVS (login
success/password fail events), and am about to embark on a Swing GUI built
on top of Spring where it will be used again. It's nice for these sort of
internal-to-the-ApplicationContext usages, but if I want to publish a
CustomerOrder to a remote CustomerOrderConsumer, it will be nice when Mule
can deliver it for me.

Best regards
Ben
