Small tip if you are using synchronous endpoints in MULE: last week I was trying to create a webservice proxy in MULE, but couldn’t get it to work. When calling the webservice endpoint as provided by MULE, no result would be displayed. Turns out, unlike specified on the Mule Messaging Style page, even for the HTTP protocol you need to specify if an endpoint is synchronous. The Protocol Bridging example on the Proxying Web Services page has the correct example (the example was actually recently fixed…)
