Training Talks: How to create a Mule domain project?
In this week’s Training Talks we’re going to talk about domains. But first, we have another fun fact from our next instructor, Ethan Port. Back in the 80’s (not that long ago), Ethan played the guitar and drums in a rock band that is still very popular today in Greece. Did I mention the drums were flaming?
Now back to domains. So what is a domain? A domain is a special type of project that you can create in Anypoint Studio which has shared resources like an HTTP connection or JMS connection, and they can be shared between several applications.
Training Talk – Episode 5
In this Training Talks you’ll learn:
- How to create a Mule domain project
- How to share resources between Mule applications deployed to the same Mule runtime
- How to debug a Mule domain project in Studio
Visit our documentation site to learn more about domains and shared resources.

Our training modules are designed to help you learn how to be expert at using Anypoint Platform at any stage of development. To find out more about our role based recommended learning paths visit https://training.mulesoft.com/paths.

Hello, one question…. Domains are supported in CloudHub??? How I can deploy it?

Hi Sebastian,
They are not supported in CloudHub, and cannot currently be deployed there. Domains are only used to share resources when you deploy multiple applications into the same Mule runtime. CloudHub workers currently can only host one application at a time, so domain projects are not relevant or useful there. Instead the application contains all its resource definitions inside the application itself. Hope this helps!

Hi
I’m trying to test the concept of shared resources, sharing an HTTP connector.
The applications are very simple, in each app only an HTTP inbound connector and a set Payload to provide a response.
In Anypoint these apps work perfectly but when I want to deploy it in mule standalone, I have an error because the apps aren’t able to find the domain.
Is there something that I’m missing.

Hi Roberto,
You need to copy the domain project’s deployable archive to the domains folder, not into the apps folder. Can you share your question in our Training forums as well? Other members might find your question helpful too and you can get more info from our instructors as well. Thanks!
