Scatter and gather in mule

1. Scatter-Gather in Mule

2. Scatter-Gather is an important component in Mule that sends a request message to multiple targets
concurrently. At the end it collects the responses from all routes, and aggregates them into a single message.

3. Message Processor

Combined Payload
Processing concurrently

5. To implement scatter-gather in Mule lets consider the following flow:-
You can see that there is two flow reference after scatter-gather which means it will process 2 flows
concurrently .

6. The other 2 sub flows are here:-
Now, You will see that these two flows will run concurrently and at the end the payloads from both the
flow will be merged .

7. Our Mule config will be as follow:-

8. Now, our flow is ready .. If we can test our flow using the url :- http://localhost:8090/scattergather
and we will get in logs as follows :-
You can see both the flow ended up concurrently and scatter-gather has merged the
payload fro both the flows at the end

9. In my next slide I will bring some other techniques in Mule implementation .
Hope you have enjoyed this simpler version.
