Anypoint MQ Bindings

This document defines how to describe Anypoint MQ-specific information in AsyncAPI documents.

Anypoint MQ is MuleSoft's multi-tenant, cloud messaging service and is fully integrated with Anypoint Platform.

Versions

The version of this bindings specification is 0.1.0. This is also the bindingVersion for all binding objects defined by this specification. In any given binding object, latest MAY alternatively be used to refer to the currently latest published version of this bindings specification.

Terminology

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this bindings specification are to be interpreted as described in IETF RFC2119.

Protocol

These bindings use the anypointmq protocol in AsyncAPI documents to denote connections to and interactions with Anypoint MQ message brokers.

The Anypoint MQ protocol is based on invocations of the Anypoint MQ Broker REST API.

Server Object

The fields of the standard Server Object are constrained and interpreted as follows:

Server Object Field Name Values for Anypoint MQ Protocol Description
protocol anypointmq REQUIRED. MUST be anypointmq for the scope of this specification.
host e.g., https://mq-us-east-1.anypoint.mulesoft.com REQUIRED. MUST be the endpoint HOST part of the URL of the Anypoint MQ Broker REST API. Valid examples are https://mq-us-east-1.anypoint.mulesoft.com and https://mq-eu-central-1.eu1.anypoint.mulesoft.com (and not https://mq-us-east-1.anypoint.mulesoft.com/api, or https://.../api/v1).
pathname e.g., /api REQUIRED. MUST be the endpoint path part of the URL of the Anypoint MQ Broker REST API excluding the final major version indicator (e.g., v1). Valid examples are /api and (and not https://.../api/v1).
protocolVersion e.g., v1 OPTIONAL, defaults to v1. If present MUST be the major version indicator of the Anypoint MQ Broker REST API omitted from the url, e.g. v1.
security suitably configured OAuth 2.0 client credentials grant type REQUIRED. Authentication against the MuleSoft-hosted Anypoint MQ message brokers uses the OAuth 2.0 client credentials grant type. At runtime, the client ID and client secret values of an Anypoint MQ client app must be supplied. Also, the OAuth 2.0 scopes are currently not client-configurable. The security field of the server object MUST correctly match these constraints.

Note that the choice of a particular Anypoint MQ client app (via its client ID and secret) decides the Anypoint Platform organization ID and environment (ID) to be those in which this client app is defined. See the Anypoint MQ documentation for details on how to configure Anypoint MQ client apps.

Server Binding Object

This object MUST NOT contain any properties. Its name is reserved for future use.

Channel Binding Object

The Anypoint MQ Channel Binding Object is defined by a JSON Schema, which defines these fields:

Field Name Type Description
destination string OPTIONAL, defaults to the channel name. The destination (queue or exchange) name for this channel. SHOULD only be specified if the channel name differs from the actual destination name, such as when the channel name is not a valid destination name in Anypoint MQ.
destinationType string OPTIONAL, defaults to queue. The type of destination, which MUST be either exchange or queue or fifo-queue. SHOULD be specified to document the messaging model (publish/subscribe, point-to-point, strict message ordering) supported by this channel.
bindingVersion string OPTIONAL, defaults to latest. The version of this binding.

Note that an Anypoint MQ exchange can only be sent to, not received from. To receive messages sent to an exchange, an intermediary queue must be defined and bound to the exchange. In this bindings specification, these intermediary queues are not exposed in the AsyncAPI document. Instead, it is simply assumed that whenever messages must be received from an exchange, such an intermediary queue is involved yet invisible in the AsyncAPI document.

Examples

The following example shows two channels where does not apply any bindings and the second one applying anyointmq bindings.

channels:
  userSignup:
    address: 'user/signup'
    description: |
      This application receives command messages from this channel about users to sign up.
      Minimal configuration, omitting a channel binding object.
    messages: 
      #...

  userSignup:
    address: 'user/signup'
    description: |
      This application sends events to this channel about users that have signed up.
      Explicitly provides a channel binding object.
    messages: 
      #...
    bindings:
      anypointmq:
        destination:     user-signup-exchg
        destinationType: exchange
        bindingVersion: '0.1.0'

Operation Binding Object

This object MUST NOT contain any properties. Its name is reserved for future use.

Message Binding Object

The Anypoint MQ Message Binding Object defines these fields:

Field Name Type Description
headers Schema Object | Reference Object OPTIONAL. A Schema object containing the definitions for Anypoint MQ-specific headers (so-called protocol headers). This schema MUST be of type object and have a properties key. Examples of Anypoint MQ protocol headers are messageId and messageGroupId.
bindingVersion string OPTIONAL, defaults to latest. The version of this binding.

Note that application headers must be specified in the headers field of the standard Message Object and are transmitted in the properties section of the Anypoint MQ message. In contrast, protocol headers such as messageId must be specified in the headers field of the message binding object and are transmitted in the headers section of the Anypoint MQ message.

Examples

The following example shows a channels object with two channels, each having one operation (subscribe or publish) with one message. Only the message of the subscribe operation has a message binding object for anypointmq:

channels:
  userSignup:
    address: 'user/signup'
    messages:
      #...
  userSignup:
    address: 'user/signup'
    messages:
      userSignupMessage:
        headers:
          type: object
          properties:
            correlationId:
              description: Correlation ID set by application
              type: string
        payload:
          type: object
          properties:
            #...
        correlationId:
          description: Correlation ID is specified as a header and transmitted in the Anypoint MQ message properties section
          location:    $message.header#/correlationId
        bindings:
          anypointmq:
            headers:
              type: object
              properties:
                messageId:
                  type: string
            bindingVersion: '0.1.0'
