Salesforce-MuleSoft-Developer-II Sample Questions Answers

To convert a JKS keystore to PKCS12, the developer needs to use the keytool-importkeystore command with the following options: -srckeystore keystore.jks -srcstoretype JKS -destkeystore keystore.p12 -deststoretype PKCS12. This command imports all entries from a source JKS keystore (keystore.jks) into a destination PKCS12 keystore (keystore.p12). References: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/tools/keytool.html#GUID-5990A2E4-78E3-47B7-AE75-6D1826259549

To run a test locally without the policies applied, the developer should create a properties file specifically for local development and set the API instance ID to a value that is not used in API Manager. This way, the developer can use different configuration properties for different environments and avoid triggering API autodiscovery when running tests locally. API autodiscovery is a mechanism that associates an API implementation with its corresponding API specification and policies in API Manager based on its API instance ID. By setting this ID to a value that does not exist in API Manager, the developer can prevent API autodiscovery from finding and applying any policies to the local test.

When implementing a synchronous API where the event source is an HTTP Listener, Mule automatically propagates some message attributes between flows via outbound and inbound properties. One of these attributes is correlation ID, which is returned to the caller in the response header by default as MULE_CORRELATION_ID. References: https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/about-mule-message#message-attributes

To reuse Mule Maven plugin configuration across multiple individual Mule applications, the developer should use a parent pom.xml file. A parent pom.xml file defines common configuration for one or more child projects that inherit from it. The developer can specify common properties and dependencies for all child projects in the parent pom.xml file, such as Mule Maven plugin configuration, and then reference them in each child project’s pom.xml file using placeholders. References: https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/mmp-concept#parent-pom https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-pom.html#Project_Inheritance

The MuleSoft recommended method to encrypt sensitive property data is to use the Secure Properties Tool that comes with Anypoint Studio. This tool allows encrypting properties files with a secret key and then decrypting them at runtime using the same key. The encryption key and sensitive data should be different for each environment to ensure security and avoid accidental exposure of sensitive data. References: https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/secure-configuration-properties

To develop an API that retrieves data from a hospital system using reusable Java libraries, the developer should install libraries in a local repository and refer to it in the pom.xml file. This way, the developer can use Maven to manage dependencies and invoke Java code from Mule applications using Java Module operations. References: https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule- runtime/4.3/java-module-reference#add-the-java-module-to-your-project https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/java-module-reference#invoke-java-code

To configure the Maven Resources plugin to exclude parsing binary files in the project’s src/main/resources/certs directory, option C should be used. This option specifies that any files with .cer or .jks extensions under the certs directory should be excluded from filtering. Filtering is a process of replacing placeholders with actual values in resource files during the build process. Binary files should not be filtered because they may become corrupted or unusable. References: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/filter.html https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/include-exclude.html

A web API can use HTTP Webhook to notify its client of state changes as soon as they occur. A webhook is an HTTP callback that allows an API to send real-time notifications to another system or application when an event happens. The client registers a URL with the API where it wants to receive notifications, and then the API sends an HTTP request to that URL with information about the event. References: https://docs.mulesoft.com/connectors/webhook/webhook-connector

Based on the configuration below, when a HTTP request arrives at the Mule application’s endpoint, the execution order will be A1, B1, F1, B2, A2. This is because policies are executed before and after the API implementation flow according to their order attribute. Policy A has order 1, which means it is executed first before Policy B, which has order 2. The flow is executed after both policies are executed before the flow. Then, Policy B is executed after the flow before Policy A is executed after the flow. References: https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-manager/2.x/policies-policy-order

To remove values from Mule application A’s Object Store v2, Mule application B can use Object Store v2 REST API. This API allows performing operations on Object Store v2 resources using HTTP methods, such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. Mule application B can use the DELETE method to remove values from Mule application A’s Object Store v2 by specifying the object store ID and the key of the value to delete. References: https://docs.mulesoft.com/object-store/osv2-apis

The http-policy:processor element is used to intercept outbound HTTP requests made by Mule applications. It allows customizing the request before it is sent to the target API and modifying the response after it is received from the target API. References: https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-manager/2.x/policy-mule4-custom-policy#policy-xml-file

The HTTP Request operation will use the default truststore of the JRE to validate the certificate of the target API. If the CA’s certificate is present in the truststore, the operation will succeed. Otherwise, it will fail with a handshake exception. References: https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/tls-configuration#tls-default

To include a common application as a reusable module in all API implementations, the developer should add a Maven dependency in the POM file with jar as . This way, the developer can reuse Mule code from another application by packaging it as a JAR file and adding it as a dependency in the POM file of the API implementation. The classifier element specifies that it is a JAR file. References: https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/mmp-concept#add-a-maven-dependency-to-the-pom-file

When the HTTP Request operation raises an HTTP CONNECTIVITY error, it triggers an on-error-continue handler that sets a payload with ‘Error in processing your request’. Since no status code is explicitly set in this handler, it defaults to 500 (INTERNAL SERVER ERROR). Therefore, the web client receives an HTTP response with status code 500 and body ‘Error in processing your request’.
