Salesforce-MuleSoft-Developer-II Questions and Answers

A cipher suite is a set of cryptographic algorithms that are used to secure the communication between a client and a server. A cipher suite consists of four components: a key exchange algorithm, an authentication algorithm, an encryption algorithm, and a message authentication code (MAC) algorithm. During the cipher suite exchange, the client and the server agree on which encryption algorithm to use for encrypting and decrypting the data.

Mutual TLS (mTLS) is an extension of TLS that requires both parties (client and server) to present their certificates to each other during the handshake process. This way, both parties can verify each other’s identity and establish a secure connection. The authentication of the server happens before the authentication of the client, as the server sends its certificate first and then requests the client’s certificate.

Based on the code snippet and MUnit test case below, when the MUnit test case is executed, the expected result is that the test case fails with an assertion error. This is because the assert-equals processor compares two values for equality, and fails if they are not equal. In this case, the expected value is ‘Hello World’, but the actual value returned by the implementation flow is ‘Hello Mule’. Therefore, the assertion fails and an error is thrown.

To invoke Bioinfo System API using its REST Connector, option E should be added to the pom.xml file. This option adds a dependency for Bioinfo System API REST Connector with its group ID, artifact ID, version, classifier, and type. The classifier specifies that it is a REST Connector (raml-client), and the type specifies that it is a Mule plugin (mule-plugin).

Based on the code snippet and schema.json file below, when testing using the API Kit console if no values are entered in client-secret, HTTP status code 403 (FORBIDDEN) is returned. This is because client-secret is defined as a required header parameter in schema.json file, which means that it must be present in every request. If no values are entered in client-secret, then it is equivalent to omitting this header parameter, which violates the schema and causes APIKit Router to return HTTP status code 403.

The result of the flow is nullPayload if processing between os:store and os:retrieve takes 10 seconds. This is because the entry TTL of the object store is one second, which means that any stored value expires after one second and is removed from the object store. The expiration interval of 30 seconds only determines how often the object store checks for expired values, but it does not affect the TTL. Therefore, when os:retrieve tries to get the value after 10 seconds, it returns nullPayload because the value has already expired and been removed.

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 implement a readiness endpoint to monitor all system APIs, the developer should create a dedicated endpoint that responds with the API status and reachability of the underlying systems. This way, the DevOps team can check if the system API is ready to receive requests and if it can communicate with its backend systems without errors. References: https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/deployment-strategies#readiness-probes

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.

To unit test modules created with XML SDK, the developer needs to use the MUnit Extensions Maven plugin. This plugin allows testing XML SDK modules using MUnit by adding a dependency to the module under test and using a custom processor tag to invoke it. References: https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-sdk/1.1/xml-sdk#testing

To enrich every log message with the order ID, the developer should use the Tracing module to set logging variables with a Mapped Diagnostic Context (MDC). The Tracing module allows adding custom key-value pairs to log messages using MDC variables. The developer can use Set Logging Variables operation to set the order ID as an MDC variable and then use it in any logger processor within the same thread or event. References: https://docs.mulesoft.com/tracing-module/1.0/tracing-module-reference#set-logging-variables

To use Maven to successfully deploy the application, the developer needs to modify the pom.xml file inside the Mule project. The pom.xml file contains the configuration and dependencies of the Mule application, as well as the deployment information such as the CloudHub region, environment, and worker size. The developer needs to specify these properties in the pom.xml file before using Maven to deploy the application. References: https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/mmp-concept#application-deployment-descriptor

The validate-customer flow uses an until-successful scope to validate each field of the customer data. The until-successful scope executes its processors until they succeed or exhausts the maximum number of retries. If any processor fails, it raises an error and stops executing the remaining processors. Therefore, if only the email address is invalid, a VALIDATION.INVALID_EMAIL error is raised and the validation of appointment date and customer name is skipped.
