WSO2ESB using XMPP protocol - wso2

Has anybody managed to get XMPP protocol working successfully with WSO2ESB (WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus)?
I have managed to get the server setup correctly and it registered on Openfire as a session. From there nothing seems to work. I have deployed a service which has xmpp as a transport. The service deploys successfully but it doesn't seem to create a session on Openfire and the xmpp endpoint url appears not well formed:
xmpp://wso2esb#null/services/XMPPPOC
As you can see the domain is coming out as null.
I can find no issues in the wso2esb log or the openfire logs to indicate any problem.
Has anybody has any success using XMPP as a protocol with WSO2 products (at all, let alone ESB). It seems to be that it doesn't work and it certainly appears scantly documented.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Security of SOAP based web service in Java, Netbeans, Tomcat

I have created an android application that calls (using kSOAP library) a SOAP based web service (developed in java, netbeans) over the intranet.
Now i want to make the application live, so this will require my web service to be exposed on the internet.
I have following questions...
How do i make sure that no one knows about the web service link except my android application
No one is able to call the web service except my android application
The data transferred between android application and web service is secure and encrypted
What kind of authentication mechanism should be used
I'm new to web services security so forgive me if my questions are dumb :)
This is impossible. Anyone having your app might use a traffic analyzer like wireshark and see all the requests it makes.
Sign each request you app makes(add some soap header) and check the signature on the server side
Use HTTPS
How to do authentication using SOAP?

Forwarding web services through JMS

I'm trying to figure out how to forward web service requests from the web server to a remote application server through jms.
In my architecture there are web services client which communicate with some web server (Tomcat) which needs to forward the request to be executed on a remote application server and at the end get the result and push it back to the web service client.
Something like:
Web Service Client <-> HTTP <-> Tomcat <-> JMS <-> Application Server.
I want to use jax-ws so my methods will be called automatically in the application server.
Although I've expected this will be common approach, I didn't find any examples.
I would appreciate if someone can provide some links or tips on how such a configuration can be built.
Currently I'm using Metro but any other solution is valid as well.
Another aspect which I'm interested in, is whether I can use the fast-infoset over JMS to increase performance.
Thanks in advance,
Avner
you can try wso2MB as a JMS provider ...Check following links, would be useful
[1]http://wso2.org/library/message-broker
[2]http://pzf.fremantle.org/2011/04/introduction-to-wso2-message-broker_05.html
One option to solve it is using Apache Camel.
Then you can configure such a thing with an XML configuration file.

How can I get Fiddler to display information about a web service request made from my ASP.NET code behind?

I have an ASPX page. When the page is loaded there is code in the code behind that uses an API. The API makes an HTTPS call out to a third party, commercial web service. I am trying to troubleshoot why the API calls are not working properly. Apparently the API actually constructs an XML request that is sent out over HTTPS to the web service. I've been told by the support rep that I need to provide them with the XML that is being sent. The only way I can figure out how to get the XML is to use a tool like Fiddler to see what is being sent out. So how can I use Fiddler to see the contents of the XML request that is being sent from the server out to the web service? I am running everything directly on the server but all I am seeing is the GET request for the ASPX file itself. I am not seeing anything in relation to the HTTPS request that the server code is sending out to the web service. I have not used Fiddler much so I am hoping that maybe I just don't have it set up right to monitor that traffic.

After mucking around with it a bit I found this post: Why isn't fiddler capturing request when invoking XMLRPC from iis?. That seemed to do the trick! Basically it sounds like the default proxy settings in Win7 are on a per user basis. So I went in and changed the identity of the AppPool for my site to a local user (Administrator) and then it worked great. I started up Fiddler. Then I started up my ASP.NET app and then when I loaded the page I saw the request that went out to the web service from my code behind! Yay!

Disabling HTTPS in Axis2 web service

I have created an Axis2 web service from Netbeans and deployed it successfully in Tomcat 6 on my web server.
When I use for instance SoapUI or Taverna to consume the web service, the server offers both HTTP and HTTPS methods to invoke it. However, using the HTTPS method renders a 404 error. (Probably because there is a server admin panel running on port 8443, but that doesn't matter right now.)
The problem is that my web service clients default to using the HTTPS service. I figured the simplest thing I could do to get the basic service to work, would be to disable the HTTPS endpoint, as the HTTP version runs flawlessly and I don't need the added security. But now I've spent hours on finding out how to do that, without success. The WSDL returned by Axis2 contains entries for HttpsSoap11Endpoint but the WSDL that's bundled in my .AAR file after the build does not.
Does anybody know how to make Axis2 offer just HTTP endpoints?
In axis2.xml, comment out the https transport receiver to disable the HTTPS endpoint.

BizTalk web-service call: unable to connect to remote server

I am trying to call a web service from a BizTalk (2006) orchestration.
Having got the hang of the basics, I have been following this tutorial (page 74 onwards) in which i have a web reference to an external web service (I am using this web service instead of the one in the tutorial), I have my web message in a Send component, and have set up the request / response ports for the web service call.
I'm fairly sure that eveything is set up correctly, but my orchestration fails to call the web service with the following error:
The adapter failed to transmit the message going to send port
"My_Order_Processor.Orchestration-CurrencyConvertPort-36c122f41c5596ae"
with URL "http://www.webservicex/net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx.
WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server.
SocketException: An existing connection was forcibly
closed by the remote host 209.162.186.60:80
The IP 209.162.186.60 is the address for the web service I am trying to connect to. I am trying to narrow down the reasons for the error, e.g.:
Firewall issues
Proxy server issues (I don't know how to configure BizTalk to use a proxy server)
Something else
The BizTalk server can ping the web service, I can access the internet (through IE), I can add the WebReference to the project successfully (meaning at least the orchestration designer can access the web service okay). I have also tried a different web service, with the same result.
Any ideas on finding out why this is happening or how to find out more info? (I'm new to BizTalk)
I've seen this veru vague error before for many different reasons. Two suggestions.
Download something like NetMon and watch what is going on on the wire.
Turn off chunked encoding. For some reason, many web services don't handle this well.
Let us know what you find out.
Could this not be an authentication issue? Check that you can connect to the webservice using the Bts credentials.
This turned out to be a proxy issue.
By navigating to Biz Talk Group -> Platform Settings -> Adapters -> SOAP, I was able to configure the BizTalk server host's SOAP adapter (which is what the web service call uses to make the call) to use our company proxy server correctly. Double click the 'send' SOAP adapter, go to Properties under adapter name.
