how to pass query URL in wso2esb to endpoint - wso2

I'm having the following API configured in WSO2ESB:
<api xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="service" context="/service">
<resource methods="POST">
<inSequence>
<call>
<endpoint>
<http method="POST" uri-template="https://webapps.localhost/service.php"/>
</endpoint>
</call>
<send/>
</inSequence>
<outSequence>
<send/>
</outSequence>
<faultSequence>
<log level="full"/>
</faultSequence>
</resource>
</api>
The call works fine and POST content goes fine to the endpoint.
curl -X POST -d "a=1&b=2" localhost:8280/service
from the service.php file I can extract POST parameters fine.
Now if I want to have dynamic GET parameters passed as is to the endpoint, what would be the way to do it?
curl -X POST -d "a=1&b=2" localhost:8280/service?c=3&d=4
I know (at least what i understood) property mediator could be used but this is for known parameters in the query url (for example, $url:c) but I don't want to limit it, just pass the query url as is to the destination endpoint.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can access the resource path through REST_URL_POSTFIX
<property name="path" expression="$axis2:REST_URL_POSTFIX"/>
According to your request URL, $ctx:path should contain ?c=3&d=4

Just to update here, use Address EndPoint instead of HTTP EndPoint (which is based on URI-Template)

Usually what I do is defining two variables on the endpoint's URI template, and then use the property mediators to set them.
Something like
<http method="POST" uri-template="https://webapps.localhost/service?c={uri.var.c}&d={uri.var.d}"
Then use the property mediator to set the property uri.var.c and uri.var.d with the intended values.

how to convert json to path variable data in wso2 esb?

I have an Endpoint : http://localhost:8080/customer/get/1
and i want to send a json data to api in wso2esb and transform the value of id to path variable and send it to the Endpoint.
something like this:
{"id":"1"}
how can i do this?
please give me some advice.
You should build Uri-template path, with property named with prefix uri.var. For example named: uri.var.myId. and extract from JSON interesting value.
Next you can use that property in http endpoint in uri-template in brackets.
For your example, what you are looking for is something like this:
<property name="uri.var.myId" expression="json-eval($.id)" scope="default" type="STRING"/>
<call>
<endpoint>
<http uri-template="http://localhost:8080/customer/get/{uri.var.myId}"/>
</endpoint>
</call>
It is more precise described in wso2esb 4.9.0 documentation

How can i use an JSON or SOAP attribute into a Path URL Param or a Query Param WSO2 Entrerprise Integrator

I'm pretty new on WSO2 IE and I'm trying to use a SOAP request to call a REST API.
This first part is OK but one of my API's needs to receive an attribute into its PATH or QUERY parameters. The attribute is sent by the soap call in it's body.
The question is, how can i get this body attribute and pass it in the PATH/QUERY param of the URL dynamically before i send it?
Picture of my architecture
Your requirement is to construct a dynamic URL. This can be easily done with the ESB Server. Here we have different options to construct this dynamic URL. Following is a sample proxy service that was created to achieve this.
<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
name="sample_proxy"
startOnLoad="true"
statistics="disable"
trace="disable"
transports="http,https">
<target>
<inSequence>
<log level="custom">
<property expression="$body//target" name="Target endpoint"/>
</log>
<property name="uri.var.host" value="http://localhost:8280"/>
<property name="uri.var.context" value="services"/>
<property expression="$body//target" name="uri.var.resourcepath"/>
<call>
<endpoint>
<http method="GET"
uri-template="{uri.var.host}/{uri.var.context}/{uri.var.resourcepath}"/>
</endpoint>
</call>
<respond/>
</inSequence>
</target>
<description/>
</proxy>
We are sending the following request to this proxy service.
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<target>sample_path</target>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
In the above proxy service what we have done is construct the dynamic URL with the parameters from the soap message please refer to the blog post [1] to further clarify regarding dynamic URLs.
Here in order to extract the parameters from the body, we have used XPaths. Please refer to the documentation [2] to further clarify regarding XPaths. We have extracted the value inside the target element and added it to the end of the URL. Thus this will invoke the http://localhost:8280/services/sample_path from the ESB server.
If you are interested in constructing the URL with query parameters you can do that by concatenating the required URL and using an address endpoint [1].

how to force text/plain in WSO2 call to an endpoint

I have an enrich mediator in a sequence which has a value in a plain text. I have verified the value with log and ensured it is a text. But when I do the call after the enrich (see below) the API received the payload as a JSON with key always as "test": and then the plaintext value.
The API below expects any values, it just saves the body to a file. When I try to set a property before the call to state message type=text/plain it just hangs, does not do the call?
QUESTION: Does WSO2 mediator (wso2 framework) by nature expects the body to be either be JSON or XML? NOT Text/Plain allowed. If this is true, then I have to change my API to handle this issue I Think.
If someone can answer that question, I think I will know what to do. Because when I call the same API using a java class mediator with same options it works fine.
<call>
<endpoint>
<http method="POST" uri-template="http://xxxxxxx.38:8280/writefile"/>
</endpoint>
</call>
Thanks for the update. I had tried that before, when I had that the process was hanging and would not call the api. Here is what we did for it to work:
<payloadFactory media-type="xml">
<format>
<text xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/commons/ns/payload">$1</text>
</format>
<args>
<arg evaluator="xml" expression="get-property('fileContent')"/>
</args>
</payloadFactory>
<property name="messageType" scope="axis2" type="STRING" value="text/plain"/>
Thanks for the update folks. First time asking a questions and good to see getting response ASAP. Will try to contribute my learning and try to help .
Add this before the call mediator.
<property name="messageType" value="text/plain" scope="axis2"/>

How to retrieve HTTP REST METHOD of current service at Run time in WSO2 AM Sequence?

How to retrieve HTTP REST METHOD(GET,PUT,POST,DELETE,OPTIONS) in WSO2 Api Manager's Sequence at runtime? I tried to $ctx:REST_METHOD which returns 'null' value.
<sequence name="ec_rest_dynamic_ep" trace="disable" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
<property expression="$ctx:REST_METHOD" name="restmethod"
scope="default" type="STRING"/>
<log>
<property expression="get-property('restmethod')" name="*******************REST_METHOD***********"/>
</log>
</sequence>
Basically, HTTP REST METHOD value of current service & URL context of that service needed to identify the service in order redirect the service to its endpoint dynamically at runtime.
Try the following property.
<property name="Http_Method" expression="get-property('axis2', 'HTTP_METHOD')"/>
You can find more useful properties in [1].
#Pubci's answer is correct. Here is another way.
<property name="Method" scope="transport" expression="$ctx:api.ut.HTTP_METHOD"/>
Some other properties can be found here.

Is it possible to extract and/or pass along a query parameter in ESB REST proxy service

I am building a ReST to ReST proxy service. I need to be able to pass along some query parameters to that service that are incoming with the request. E.g.
myhost.zz/proxyService?foo=1&bar=2
When I define such proxy - and later try to extract the value of 'foo' I get null.
So is it possible to achieve?
You shouls define an API (if you really want a proxy service, look at the end of this answer) :
<api xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="proxyService" context="/proxyService">
<resource methods="POST GET OPTIONS DELETE PUT">
<inSequence>
<property name="FORCE_SC_ACCEPTED" value="true" scope="axis2" type="STRING"></property>
<log level="custom">
<property name="foo" expression="get-property('query.param.foo')"></property>
<property name="bar" expression="get-property('query.param.bar')"></property>
</log>
</inSequence>
</resource>
</api>
call it with this url : http://host:port/proxyService?foo=12&bar=14
look at wso2-esb-service.log : INFO __SynapseService foo = 12, bar = 14
in the "resource", you can define a uri-template (URL Style = uri-template) with, for exemple, "/{scope}/*" and then when you call your api with http://host:port/proxyService/toto?foo=12&bar=14, you can access the "scope" with get-property('uri.var.scope')
to send a REST request, use a http endpoint with a uri-template using the same logic : uri-template="http://other_host:port/Service/{uri.var.scope}/truc?abc={query.param.foo}&dfc={query.param.bar}"
-->
If you want to use a proxy service, you can access to query parameters like this :
request : http://esb:8280/services/MonService?param1=val1&param2=val2
<property name="PARAM1"
expression="tokenize(substring-after(syn:get-property('To'),'param1='),'&')"
scope="default"
type="STRING"/>
<property name="PARAM2"
expression="tokenize(substring-after(syn:get-property('To'),'param2='),'&')"
scope="default"
type="STRING"/>
you can use synapse xpath variable $url to read the query parameter values.
check this[1] for example.
