MuleSoft provides the most widely used integration platform to connect any application, data service or an API, across the cloud and on-premise continuum. Microsoft Office-365 SharePoint is a cloud-based Content management infrastructure that is accessible to the user programmatically via a MuleSoft ‘Microsoft Service Bus’ connector. SharePoint Online is a cloud-based service that helps organisations share and collaborate with colleagues, partners, and customers. With SharePoint Online, we can access internal sites, documents, and other information from anywhere—at the office, at home, or from a mobile device. The Microsoft SharePoint Mule connector allows developers to access any amount of data, at any time and from anywhere on the web. With connectivity to the Microsoft SharePoint API, users can interface SharePoint to perform CRUD operations on documents and use data with other SharePoint services. Applications can also be built for which internet storage is required – all from within MuleSoft Anypoint Platform.

Instant access to the Microsoft SharePoint API enables businesses to create seamless integration between SharePoint and other databases, CMS applications such as Drupal, and CRM applications such as Salesforce.

Prerequisites

To complete this sample, we need an MS Office-365 SharePoint account. We can sign up for a free trial.

SharePoint is a web application platform for content and document management, intranet portals, collaboration, extranets, websites, and enterprise search. Mule SharePoint connector enables integrating with SharePoint and provides following methods –

CRUD for Documents CRUD for Document Library CRUD for Users Configure Mule Anypoint Microsoft SharePoint connector with the following settings – Configuration:(MS SharePoint connector configured using the config element) This element must be placed out

of flow and at the root of the Mule application. We can create as many configurations deemed necessary as long as each carries its own name.

Connection Pool: SharePoint connector offers automatic connection management via the use of a connection pool. This pool will act a storage mechanism for all the connections that are in-use by the user of this connector.

Prior to the execution of a processor, the connector will attempt to lookup for an already established connection and if one doesn’t exist, it will create one. This lookup mechanism is done in the

connection pool via the use of connection variables declared as keys. Reconnection Strategy: Reconnection Strategies specify on how a connector behaves when the connection

fails. We can control the attempts by Mule to reconnect using several criteria – Type of exception Number and frequency of reconnection attempts Notifications generated With a reconnection strategy, the behaviour of a failed connection can be controlled in a much better way by

configuring it, for example, to re-attempt the connection only once every 15 minutes, and to give up after 30 attempts. An automatic notification can be sent to the IT administrator whenever this reconnection strategy goes into effect. A strategy can also be defined which attempts to reconnect only during business hours. Such a setting can prove useful if the server is frequently shut down for maintenance.

Install the Microsoft SharePoint Connector in Anypoint Studio (3.5 and above)http://repository.mulesoft.org/connectors/releases/3.5

Create a new Anypoint Studio Project and Flow. Before using the Microsoft SharePoint Connector in the Mule

Flows, create a global element for ‘Microsoft_SharePoint_2013__Online_Connection’ configuration which can be reused in all other flows across the Mule project – wherever the objects are created & deleted to and from Microsoft SharePoint.

Configure the ‘Microsoft SharePoint’ connector by providing the following information for the global element◦ User Name◦ Password◦ Site Url

Use HTTP inbound endpoint to hit the service and to crteate folder in the Microsoft Office-365 SharePoint.

Configure the Microsoft SharePoint endpoint by providing the following to create folder in the SharePoint document library –◦ Link to the ‘global Connector Configuration’◦ Operation name

We are now ready to run the project! First, let us test run the application from Studio:

Right-click on the application in the Package Explorer pane.

Select Run As > Mule Application: Start a browser and go to 

http://localhost:8081/createFolder The success response should be returned in

case of successfully creation of folder under SharePoint document library
