Reading Local Entry (XML,URL) in WSO2 ESB - wso2

Question

I have configured below two local entry in WSO2 WSB4.9.0 how can I read the node values in proxy or sequence.
In-Line XML Local Entry
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<localEntry key="test" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
<list>
<flag>a</flag>
<path>b</path>
</list>
</localEntry>
and
Source URL Entry
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<localEntry key="sample" src="file:/C:/Apache24/bin/ApacheMonitor" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"/>
Please help.

Answer 1

If the entry is in the filesystem, you can use:
<property name="testProp" expression="get-property('test')" scope="default" type="STRING"/>
and
<property name="sampleProp" expression="get-property('sample')" scope="default" type="STRING"/>
If you want to get access to the values inside XML set OM type:
<property name="testProp" expression="get-property('test')" scope="default" type="OM"/>
<log level="custom">
<property expression="$ctx:testProp" name="FullValue" />
<property expression="$ctx:testProp//tt:flag" name="flagValue" xmlns:tt="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"/>
<property expression="$ctx:testProp//tt:path" name="pathValue" xmlns:tt="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"/>
</log>
My full proxy:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
name="testProxy6"
transports="https http"
startOnLoad="true"
trace="disable">
<target>
<inSequence>
<property name="testProp" expression="get-property('test')" scope="default" type="OM"/>
<log level="custom">
<property expression="$ctx:testProp" name="FullValue" />
<property expression="$ctx:testProp//tt:flag" name="flagValue" xmlns:tt="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"/>
<property expression="$ctx:testProp//tt:path" name="pathValue" xmlns:tt="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"/>
</log>
<respond/>
</inSequence>
<outSequence>
<log level="full">
<property value="SEQUENCE: " name="OUT"/>
</log>
<send/>
</outSequence>
</target>
</proxy>
My local entry in file test.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<localEntry key="test" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
<list>
<flag>a</flag>
<path>b</path>
</list>
</localEntry>
My log output:
[2016-05-11 12:21:30,999] INFO - LogMediator FullValue = <list xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
<flag>a</flag>
<path>b</path>
</list>, flagValue = a, pathValue = b

If you need to obtain values from an xml in a local entry, first of all you should have to get the xml content into a property and set its type to OM as below.
<property expression="get-property('xmlLocalEntrySample')" name="xmlTest" scope="default" type="OM"/>
Now from the message context you can read the property values like this. Here $ctx is the prefix for Synapse Message-Context properties and gets a property at the default scope using this. If you log the values of testFlagA and testPath you can see a and b print in the console respectively.
<property expression="$ctx:xmlTest//*[local-name()='flag']" name="testFlagA"/>
<property expression="$ctx:xmlTest//*[local-name()='path']" name="testPath"/>

For me get-property does not work for local entries, while xslt mediator works well . ie6.4
