| Hello World Example |
+---------------------+
This example uses two components to create a hello world message. When the 
example starts it prompts the user at the console to type in their name, the 
user's name is then passed to the first component which adds something to the 
string before passes on to the second component that also adds some text before 
outputting the results back to the console.

For more information, refer to http://mule.mulesource.org/display/MULE2INTRO/Examples

+---------------------+
| Running the example |
+---------------------+
Simply use the shell script (Unix/Linux) or batch file (Windows) provided in 
this directory to run the example.

Alternatively, if you have added Mule to your executable path as recommended in 
Mule's README.txt, you can run the example from the command line as follows:

    Linux / Unix
    ------------
    mule -config file:conf/hello-config.xml
    mule -config file:conf/hello-http-config.xml
     or
    export MULE_LIB=./conf
    mule -config hello-config.xml
    mule -config hello-http-config.xml

    Windows
    -------
    mule.bat -config file:conf/hello-config.xml
    mule.bat -config file:conf/hello-http-config.xml
     or
    SET MULE_LIB=.\conf
    mule.bat -config hello-config.xml
    mule.bat -config hello-http-config.xml

To invoke the hello component over http, hit the following URL

    http://localhost:8888/?name=Ross

+----------------------+
| Building the example |
+----------------------+
First, make sure you have set the MULE_HOME environment variable as recommended 
in Mule's README.txt

Depending on the build tool you are using (Ant or Maven), you can build the 
example by simply running "ant" or "mvn".  This will compile the example 
classes, produce a jar file, and copy everything to $MULE_HOME/lib/user, which 
is where your custom classes and configuration files should go.
