# SAP SuccessFactors Connector 5.0 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 get access to the connector in your app by adding reference
statements to both your XML Mule flow and the Apache Maven `pom.xml` file.

When you install the connector in Studio, Studio automatically populates the XML code with the
connector’s namespace and schema location. 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/successfactors
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/successfactors/current/mule-successfactors.xsd
```

This example shows how the namespace statements are placed in the `<mule>` XML block:

```xml
<mule xmlns:successfactors="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/successfactors" 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/successfactors http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/successfactors/current/mule-successfactors.xsd">
```

## Add a POM File Dependency

The Apache Maven `pom.xml` file generated by Anypoint Studio contains dependencies for a Mule app.
If 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-sap-successfactors-connector</artifactId>
  <version><x.x.x></version>
  <classifier>mule-plugin</classifier>
</dependency>
```

Replace `x.x.x` with the version that corresponds to the connector 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 `successfactors`.

4.  Select the **SuccessFactors Connector - Mule 4** connector.

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