To reuse Mule Maven plugin configuration across multiple individual Mule applications, the developer should use a parent pom.xml file. A parent pom.xml file defines common configuration for one or more child projects that inherit from it. The developer can specify common properties and dependencies for all child projects in the parent pom.xml file, such as Mule Maven plugin configuration, and then reference them in each child project's pom.xml file using placeholders.

To give a partial successful response in case the United Airlines API returns with a timeout, the developer should add a Scatter-Gather component inside a Try scope, and set the payload to a default value 'Error' inside the error handler using the On Error Continue scope. A Scatter-Gather component allows sending multiple requests concurrently and aggregating the responses into an array. A Try scope allows handling errors that occur within it using an error handler. An On Error Continue scope allows continuing the flow execution after handling an error. Therefore, by using these components, the developer can send requests to both APIs in parallel, handle any timeout errors from United Airlines API, and return a partial response with a default value for that API.

Based on the configuration below, when a HTTP request arrives at the Mule application's endpoint, the execution order will be A1, B1, F1, B2, A2. This is because policies are executed before and after the API implementation flow according to their order attribute. Policy A has order 1, which means it is executed first before Policy B, which has order 2. The flow is executed after both policies are executed before the flow. Then, Policy B is executed after the flow before Policy A is executed after the flow.

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.

Based on the exhibit below, if 'Insecure' is selected as part of the HTTP Listener configuration, the HTTP listener will only accept HTTP requests. This means that no TLS context will be configured for this listener and no encryption or authentication will be applied to incoming requests. The protocol attribute of this listener will be set to HTTP instead of HTTPS.

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 allow more than one major version of the same API to be exposed by the implementation, the developer should modify the baseUri property in the RAML file to include a variable that indicates the version number. The baseUri property defines the base URL of the API and can include variables that are replaced with actual values when mocking or deploying the API. By using a variable for the version number, the developer can expose different versions of the API using different base URLs and avoid conflicts or confusion.

To create a new project that selects the correct API version and scaffolds the flows from the API specification, the developer should import a published API. This option allows importing an API specification that has been published to Anypoint Exchange or Design Center, and selecting a specific version of that API specification. The developer can also choose to scaffold flows based on that API specification.

When implementing a synchronous API where the event source is an HTTP Listener, Mule automatically propagates some message attributes between flows via outbound and inbound properties. One of these attributes is correlation ID, which is returned to the caller in the response header by default as MULE_CORRELATION_ID.
