Can someone help me please. thank you in advance

Answer 1

1. First thing you need to check is do you have this xml file in mule-deploy.properties file.

2. If not add this file name and try to run it again.Try to import your application as Zip file and deploy it to cloudhub and try it.

Answer 2

When you run your mule application from Anypoint Studio, it runs on mule embedded server, so you were able to run the application properly. To run your application on standalone please make sure below thing apart from other suggestions:

• Is the version of standalone server same as the server you have selected during creating a mule application.

It's always good to have a maven project. You can mavenize your normal project by right clicking and selecting option mavenize in anypoint studio.

once mavenize it starts building and installing dependency. It can be seen in your console. Finally, you will get Build Success message.

Now go to the target folder and you will get a zip of your project. Just pick it and paste it inside apps folder of standalone.

Answer 3

You should create maven based mule project and use maven for generating zip file . pom.xml should contain the version of mule to use. Deploy the zip generated in mule standalone and run with mule start.

Answer 4

Its nothing to do with version. I think its the problem with the way of deployment (As Anirban told deploy the zip file in you app foldeer)

Answer 5

Please deploy zip file from your studio .. Select your apllication, then Go to file menu --> export --> under Mule folder -->select Anypoint studio to Mule deployable archieve --> give the name .. it will generate a Zip file .. Deploy that zip file in your app folder of standalone .. that's the way .. don't create any zip from winzip or other tools
