In this post I show you how I setup a little test to see if and how easy I could manage to route the traffic to and from a web service through Mule ESB. The business case for this is an issue that one of our customers ran into when using web services. In a program hundreds of calls are done in a relative short period. Most of the time this isn’t a problem but sometimes vague issues occur. To get a better insight in this issue I want to put Mule in the middle so I can log the request and response and hopefully get a better idea about what is sent across the line. This is called the Web Service Proxy pattern and is commonly used to validate and audit the web service calls. For more background info about this pattern see this article.
