I have a backend service with multiple operations. (for example,echoInt and echoString). I want to replace input value for both of them with predefined variables(in the inSequence) with PayloadFactory mediator.
How can i define payloadfactory for different operations?
when i define two payloadfactory mediator for each of them, only the last mediator works for it's operation. when i call other opertaion, this error occures:
wso2 namespace mismatch
operation1:
<p:echoString xmlns:p="http://echo.services.core.carbon.wso2.org">
<in>$1</in>
</p:echoString>
operation2:
<p:echoInt xmlns:p="http://echo.services.core.carbon.wso2.org">
<in>$1</in>
</p:echoInt>
My inSequense:
<inSequence>
<payloadFactory media-type="xml">
<format>
<p:echoString xmlns:p="http://echo.services.core.carbon.wso2.org">
<in xmlns="">teststr</in>
</p:echoString>
</format>
<args/>
</payloadFactory>
<payloadFactory media-type="xml">
<format>
<p:echoInt xmlns:p="http://echo.services.core.carbon.wso2.org">
<in xmlns="">1111</in>
</p:echoInt>
</format>
<args/>
</payloadFactory>
</inSequence>
with above inSequense, output result for both operations is '1111':
<ns:echoStringResponse xmlns:ns="http://echo.services.core.carbon.wso2.org">
<return>1111</return>
</ns:echoStringResponse>
thanks in advance
The second Payload factory replaces the first.
If you want to use each of them in a different case, you should define them in a Switch mediator.
You can use a property to get the input that defines which case you should use, then use regex to match the property value. Or you could skip the property and enter the expression in the Switch source.
At the end it would look similar to:
<inSequence>
<property expression="/default/expression" name="input_string" scope="default" type="STRING"/>
<switch source="get-property('input_string')">
<case regex="[\w\s]+">
<payloadFactory media-type="xml">
<format>
<p:echoString xmlns:p="http://echo.services.core.carbon.wso2.org">
<in xmlns="">teststr</in>
</p:echoString>
</format>
<args/>
</payloadFactory>
</case>
<default>
<payloadFactory media-type="xml">
<format>
<p:echoInt xmlns:p="http://echo.services.core.carbon.wso2.org">
<in xmlns="">1111</in>
</p:echoInt>
</format>
<args/>
</payloadFactory>
</default>
</switch>
<respond/>
</inSequence>
If you want call two operations in same time, you should use the clone or iterate Mediator, and use the aggregate Mediator in the outsequence.
The reason you use the two payloadFactory, only last one works, is that one request only have one message context, this mean, you only can send one soap message to back end in same time. This mean the last payloadFactory will override the first one.
Clone or iterate Mediator will clone or split one message context to multiple message context, then you can send multiple soap message to back end services. Because of you got multiple message context, then you should use the aggregate Mediator to aggregate these multiple responses into one message context after back end services return the result.

Scenario
I've two XML-based data files, I need to use a switch mediator in my API to direct the xml file to its respective mediation flow which is implemented in the same API. The XMLs are shown below:

Question
I need to specify the Source XPath for the Switch mediator. In
the above scenario how can I differentiate between the two XML data files
based on the second nodes i-e Trademarks & Copyright.?
Which property should I used for the above requirement?
You can use the xpath local-name() function, like below. But keep in mind, that only checks the first element after <Table>. I also like to use upper-case() function, to avoid upper/lower case issues. And the cases are with regex start ^ and end $ matches. Working example below.
<switch source="upper-case(local-name(//Table/*))" xmlns:ns="http://org.apache.synapse/xsd">
<case regex="^TRADEMARKS$">
<payloadFactory media-type="json">
<format>{"Trademarks":"DoSomething"}</format>
</payloadFactory>
</case>
<case regex="^COPYRIGHT$">
<payloadFactory media-type="json">
<format>{"Copyright":"To something else"}</format>
</payloadFactory>
</case>
<default>
<payloadFactory media-type="json">
<format>{"Error":"Invalid table name"}</format>
</payloadFactory>
</default>
</switch>
<respond/>
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"/>
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¶m2=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 $url to read the query parameter values.
check this[1] for example.
Reading Dynamic query parameter in WSO2 APIM
I'm involved in a proxy service development using WSO2.
In my sequence I've saved the initial current message in a property using the following:
<property name="InitialMessage" expression="$body" scope="default" type="STRING"/>
and now I need to rebuild the initial message using the payload factory mediator. Am I right? What are some considerable alternatives?
Could someone show me the right syntax in this case?
yes your method is correct, But I would suggest you to save only the required properties from your incoming message and use them in building the new message. Sample Syntax is given below
<payloadfactory>
<format>
<m:checkpriceresponse xmlns:m="http://services.samples/xsd">
<m:code>$1</m:code>
<m:price>$2</m:price>
</m:checkpriceresponse>
</format>
<args>
<arg expression="//m0:symbol" xmlns:m0="http://services.samples/xsd">
<arg expression="//m0:last" xmlns:m0="http://services.samples/xsd">
</arg></arg></args>
</payloadfactory>
I've solved my problem using the enrich mediator: Here you are how ...
I've saved my initial message in a property InitialMessage in this manner ...
<property name="InitialMessage" expression="$body" scope="default" type="STRING"/>
and after I've used the enrich mediator in this manner
<enrich>
<source type="property" clone="true" property="InitialMessage"/>
<target type="body"/>
</enrich>
It's working ...
I hope this could be useful ...
I have a sequence that is invoking multiple endpoints. My sequence is:
<sequence xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="GetAllData">
<switch xmlns:ns="http://org.apache.synapse/xsd" xmlns:cct="http://www.tempuri.org" xmlns:tns="http://www.tempuri.org" source="//tns:IDFilter/cct:ID">
<case regex=".?">
<log level="custom">
<property name="Property2" value="----------------Inside switch 1 ? ---------------"/>
</log>
<filter xpath="//tns:ChildIDFilter/cct:ID='?'">
<then>
<log level="custom">
<property name="prop1" value="------Inside Then------------------"/>
</log>
**<payloadFactory>
<format>
<select_all_ID_operation xmlns:cir="http://tempuri.org"/>
</format>
</payloadFactory>
<payloadFactory>
<format>
<select_all_ChildID_operation xmlns="http://tempuri.org"/>
</format>
</payloadFactory>
<send>
<endpoint key="ID_Service_EPS"/>
</send>**
</then>
<else>
<log level="custom">
<property name="prop2" value="------Inside Else------------------"/>
</log>
<payloadFactory>
<format>
<select_all_ID_operation xmlns="http://tempuri.org"/>
</format>
</payloadFactory>
<send receive="ValidateAllData">
<endpoint key="ID_Endpoint"/>
</send>
</else>
</filter>
</case>
</switch>
</sequence>
Now in my ID_EPS endpoint, i have two wsdl endpoints and for them i have to pass payload to get data from both wsdl's, but this is not happenning. My question is how to invoke recipient endpoint contaning different wsdl Endpoints and setting payload for it and finally get the concatinated result. Looking forward to your answers.Thanks in advance
In the management console-->endpoint menu, you can find the recipient list endpoint, where provide your both endpoints, and refer that recipient endpoint from your sequence
To send messages to two endpoints (in your case two wsdl endpoints) using recipient list endpoint, the message format accepted by both endpoints should be identical.
If so, you can send messages to both endpoints using a recipient list endpoint and then aggregate the response messages and construct the concatenated result.
Refer to following resource to find a sample configuration of Recipient list endpoint.
http://docs.wso2.org/wiki/display/ESB460/Sample+62%3A+Routing+a+Message+to+a+Dynamic+List+of+Recipients+and+Aggregating+Responses
If two endpoint message formats are not identical, you have to implement a service chaining scenario or you can clone the message and create two different branches for two endpoints and construct the payload required by each service endpoint and send to the service endpoint within that branch. Then you can aggregate the responses received from both branches and construct the concatenated result.
