There are times when you need to fetch a file from your local file system on the application at runtime. In these cases, the Mule can look stubborn and confusing. For instance, some components (E.g. Transform components) allow you to navigate to the file in question and then display
The Mule is, by nature, a messenger; it carries messages (or information) from one isolated system to another… … and we all know what happened to the messenger in ye olde days! The messenger always got shot when delivering bad news. The modern IT landscape is not very different.
