# Salesforce Composite Connector 2.20 - XML and Maven Support

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

Although you can manually code a Mule app in XML, it is more efficient to use Anypoint Studio.

- If you manually code a Mule runtime engine (Mule) app in XML, either from the Anypoint Studio XML
  editor or from a text editor, you can access the connector from your app by adding reference
  statements to both your XML Mule flow and the Apache Maven `pom.xml` file.

- If you add the connector in Studio, Studio automatically populates the XML code with the
  connector’s namespace and schema location and it also adds a dependency to the `pom.xml` file.

## Add a Namespace for the Connector

Paste the following code inside the `mule` tag of the header of your configuration XML:

```xml
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/salesforce-composite
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/salesforce-composite/current/mule-salesforce-composite.xsd
```

This example shows how the namespace statements are placed in the XML:

```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mule xmlns:salesforce-composite="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/salesforce-composite" xmlns:ee="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ee/core"
   xmlns:http="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http"
   xmlns="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core" xmlns:doc="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/documentation" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core/current/mule.xsd
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http/current/mule-http.xsd
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ee/core http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ee/core/current/mule-ee.xsd
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/salesforce-composite http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/salesforce-composite/current/mule-salesforce-composite.xsd">
```

## Add a POM File Dependency

The Apache Maven `pom.xml` file generated by Anypoint Studio contains dependencies for a Mule app.
When you code a Mule app manually, include this XML snippet in your `pom.xml` file to enable access
to this connector:

```xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.mulesoft.connectors</groupId>
  <artifactId>mule-salesforce-composite-connector</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <classifier>mule-plugin</classifier>
</dependency>
```

Verify that the connector `version` corresponds to the one you are using.

To obtain the most up-to-date `pom.xml` file information:

1.  Go to [Anypoint Exchange](https://www.mulesoft.com/exchange/).

2.  In Exchange, click **Login** and supply your Anypoint Platform username and password.

3.  In Exchange, search for `salesforce composite`.

4.  Select the connector.

5.  Click **Dependency Snippets** near the upper right of the screen.

## Next Step

After completing your namespace and `pom.xml` file, you can try the
[Examples](https://docs.mulesoft.com/salesforce-composite-connector/2.20/salesforce-composite-connector-examples).
