# Deploying Mule Apps to Runtime Fabric using Maven

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Runtime Fabric supports using Mule Maven Plugin 3.x to manage and deploy Mule applications. The
information in this topic is specific to deploying a Mule application to Mule runtime engine 4.x.

## Prerequisites

- Ensure that the Mule Maven Plugin is added to your project

  See [Add the Mule Maven Plugin to a Mule Project](https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/latest/mmp-concept#add-mmp)
  for instructions.

- You understand and have available the number of resources required to deploy to Runtime Fabric  
  See [Resource Allocation on Anypoint Runtime Fabric](https://docs.mulesoft.com/runtime-fabric/latest/deploy-resource-allocation-self-managed)
  for more information.

- The application is already published in Exchange  
  See [Publish and Deploy Exchange Assets Using Maven](https://docs.mulesoft.com/exchange/to-publish-assets-maven).

The Mule Maven Facade API (v3) is added as a repository in the distribution management section of
your project’s POM file. For example:

  <distributionManagement>
    <repository>
      <id>Repository</id>
      <name>Corporate Repository</name>
      <url>https://maven.anypoint.mulesoft.com/api/v3/organizations/ORGANIZATION\_ID/maven</url>
      <layout>default</layout>
    </repository>
  </distributionManagement>

If you publish assets using Exchange API, use Exchange API v2, otherwise schedulers aren’t
displayed.

## Add the Mule Maven Plugin to a Mule Project

To add the Mule Maven plugin, you need to add its maven dependency to the project:

```xml
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.mule.tools.maven</groupId>
  <artifactId>mule-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.7.1</version>
  <extensions>true</extensions>
</plugin>
```

From this repository:

```xml
<pluginRepositories>
  <pluginRepository>
    <id>mule-public</id>
    <url>https://repository.mulesoft.org/nexus/content/repositories/releases</url>
  </pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
```

This enables the Mule Maven plugin in your project.

> [!IMPORTANT] If `<extensions>true</extensions>` is not present, the plugin does not work.

## Configure the Runtime Fabric Deployment Strategy

Inside the `plugin` element, add a configuration for your Runtime Fabric deployment, replacing the
following placeholder values with your Runtime Fabric information:

```xml
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.mule.tools.maven</groupId>
  <artifactId>mule-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.7.1</version>
  <extensions>true</extensions>
  <configuration>
    <runtimeFabricDeployment>
      <uri>https://anypoint.mulesoft.com</uri>
      <muleVersion>4.3.0</muleVersion>
      <username>user</username>
      <password>pass</password>
      <applicationName>newapp</applicationName>
      <target>rtf</target>
      <environment>Sandbox</environment>
      <provider>MC</provider>
      <replicas>1</replicas>
      <properties>
        <key>value</key>
      </properties>
      <deploymentSettings>
        <enforceDeployingReplicasAcrossNodes>false</enforceDeployingReplicasAcrossNodes>
        <updateStrategy>recreate</updateStrategy>
        <clustered>false</clustered>
        <forwardSslSession>false</forwardSslSession>
        <lastMileSecurity>false</lastMileSecurity>
        <resources>
          <cpu>
            <reserved>20m</reserved>
            <limit>1500m</limit>
          </cpu>
          <memory>
            <reserved>700Mi</reserved>
          </memory>
        </resources>
        <http>
          <inbound>
            <publicUrl>url</publicUrl>
          </inbound>
        </http>
      </deploymentSettings>
    </runtimeFabricDeployment>
  </configuration>
</plugin>
```

## Deploy to Runtime Fabric

From the command line in your project’s folder, package the application and execute the deploy goal:

```bash
mvn clean deploy -DmuleDeploy
```

### Exchange Snapshot Assets

You can also deploy Exchange snapshot assets into Runtime Fabric.

By using `SNAPSHOT` version assets in Anypoint Exchange during the development and testing phase,
you can avoid incrementing your application’s version number for small changes. After your
`SNAPSHOT` version application has been overwritten in Anypoint Exchange, you can redeploy your
`SNAPSHOT` version application to Runtime Fabric via the Mule Maven plugin to deploy the latest
changes.

To learn more about publishing snapshot assets to Anypoint Exchange, see
[Asset Lifecycle State](https://docs.mulesoft.com/exchange/to-publish-assets-maven#asset-lifecycle-state).

> [!NOTE] Each time you update your application’s snapshot, redeploy the application to refresh it
> with the latest snapshot binaries.
>
> Because snapshot assets can change after deployment, avoid deploying them into your production
> environment.

## Redeploy to Runtime Fabric

To redeploy the application, run the same command as you did to deploy.  
Runtime Fabric rewrites the application you had deployed.

## Authentication Methods

When you deploy applications using Mule Maven plugin, you can use different methods to provide your
credentials to authenticate against the deployment platform. Depending on the authentication method
you use, the parameters to set in the deployment configuration differ:

<table><colgroup><col> <col> <col></colgroup><thead><tr><th>Authentication Method</th><th>Description</th><th>Configuration Parameters</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><div><div><p>Username and password</p></div></div></td><td><div><div><p>Use a Runtime Fabric username and password to authenticate.</p></div></div></td><td><div><div><ul><li><p><code>username</code><br></p></li><li><p><code>password</code></p></li></ul></div></div></td></tr><tr><td><div><div><p>Server</p></div></div></td><td><div><div><p>Use credentials stored in a Maven server, configured inside the Maven <code>settings.xml</code> file.</p></div></div></td><td><div><div><ul><li><p><code>server</code></p></li></ul></div></div></td></tr><tr><td><div><div><p>Authorization Token</p></div></div></td><td><div><div><p>Use an authorization token to access the platform.<br>See <a href="https://docs.mulesoft.com/access-management/external-identity">Identity Management</a> for a list of supported single sign-on (SSO) types.</p></div></div></td><td><div><div><ul><li><p><code>authToken</code></p></li></ul></div></div></td></tr><tr><td><div><div><p>Connected Apps</p></div></div></td><td><div><div><p>Use a Connected App to perform the authentication programmatically by communicating with Anypoint Platform.<br>Note that the Connected App credentials must have the <code>Design Center Developer</code> access scope.<br>See <a href="https://docs.mulesoft.com/access-management/connected-apps-developers">Connected Apps for Developers</a> for instructions about creating Connected Apps.</p></div></div></td><td><div><div><ul><li><p><code>connectedAppClientId</code><br></p></li><li><p><code>connectedAppClientSecret</code><br></p></li><li><p><code>connectedAppGrantType</code></p></li></ul></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Encrypt Credentials

To use encrypted credentials when deploying, you need to set up your Maven master encrypted password
and your `settings-security.xml` file.

1.  Create a master password for your Maven configuration.

    mvn --encrypt-master-password <yourMasterPassword>

    Maven returns your master password encrypted:

    {l9vZ2uM5SdgHy+H12z4pX7LEOZn3Kbnqmt3kIquLjnQ=}

2.  Create a `settings-security.xml` file in your ~/.m2 repository and add your encrypted master
    password:

    ```xml
    <settingsSecurity>
      <master>{l9vZ2uM5SdgHy+H12z4pX7LEOZn3Kbnqmt3kIquLjnQ=}</master>
    </settingsSecurity>
    ```

3.  Encrypt your Anypoint platform password:

    mvn --encrypt-password <yourAnypointPlatformPassword>

    Maven returns your Anypoint platform password encrypted:

    {HTWFGH5BG9QmvJ1B=}

4.  Add your encrypted Anypoint Platform password to your `settings.xml` file in the <server>
    section:

    ```xml
    <settings>
     ...
      <servers>
       ...
        <server>
          <id>my.anypoint.credentials</id>
          <username>my.anypoint.username</username>
          <password>{HTWFGH5BG9QmvJ1B=}</password>
        </server>
       ...
      </servers>
     ...
    </settings>
    ```

5.  In your configuration deployment, reference the credentials injecting the server ID configured
    in your `settings.xml` file:

    ```xml
    <plugin>
      ...
      <configuration>
        ...
        <runtimeFabricDeployment>
          ...
          <server>my.anypoint.credentials</server>
          ...
        </runtimeFabricDeployment>
        ...
      </configuration>
      ...
    <plugin>
    ```
