Salesforce Certified MuleSoft Developer II (Mule-Dev-301) Exam - Topic 5 Question 27 Discussion

A developer deploys an API to CloudHub and applies an OAuth policy on API Manager. During testing, the API response is slow, so the developer reconfigures the API so that the out-of-the-box HTTP Caching policy is applied first, and the OAuth API policy is applied second.What will happen when an HTTP request is received?
B) In case of a cache it, only the HTTP Caching policy is evaluating; then the cached response is returned to the caller
A) In case of a cache hit, both the OAuth and HTTP Caching policies are evaluated; then the cached response is returned to the caller
C) In case of a cache miss, only the HTTP Caching policy is evaluated; then the API retrieves the data from the API implementation, and the policy stores the data to be cached in Object Store
D) In case of a cache miss, both the OAuth and HTTP Caching policies are evaluated; then the API retrieves the data from the API implementation, and the policy does not store the data in Object Store

A developer deploys an API to CloudHub and applies an OAuth policy on API Manager. During testing, the API response is slow, so the developer reconfigures the API so that the out-of-the-box HTTP Caching policy is applied first, and the OAuth API policy is applied second.

What will happen when an HTTP request is received?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

When an HTTP request is received and the HTTP Caching policy is applied first, it checks if there is a cached response for that request in Object Store. If there is a cache hit, meaning that a valid cached response exists, then only the HTTP Caching policy is evaluated and the cached response is returned to the caller without invoking the OAuth policy or the API implementation. If there is a cache miss, meaning that no valid cached response exists, then both the HTTP Caching policy and the OAuth policy are evaluated before invoking the API implementation.

Wait, are we sure about that? I thought both policies might still get checked.

Just to clarify, in a cache miss, both policies are evaluated, right?

I remember a similar question where only the caching policy was evaluated on a cache hit. So, I’m leaning towards option B, but I’m not 100% confident.

I think I recall something about cache misses leading to the API implementation being called, but I’m confused about whether the OAuth policy gets evaluated in that case.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like both policies get evaluated regardless of the cache hit or miss. It seems like that’s what we practiced in class.

I remember that in caching scenarios, if there's a cache hit, we usually don't need to evaluate other policies like OAuth. So, I think option B might be correct.

I feel pretty confident about this. The question is testing our understanding of how the policies are applied in sequence. As long as I remember that the caching policy comes first, I think I can nail this.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is that the HTTP Caching policy is evaluated first, and if there's a cache hit, the OAuth policy doesn't even get evaluated. That makes sense.

I'm going with option C. If there's a cache miss, the HTTP Caching policy should evaluate first, then the API should retrieve the data and store it in the Object Store.

Option D seems more logical to me. If there's a cache miss, both the OAuth and HTTP Caching policies should be evaluated before the API retrieves the data from the implementation.
