Setup a Mercurial Repository in Windows


Installing Mercurial Server on windows

As the first step download Tortoise Hg from the below link and install it. Before download you need to select the compatible tortoise Hg installer according to your PC/Laptop’s number of bits (32 or 64).

Get Tortoise Hg:

http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/download/

Tortoise Hg works as a front end UI to Mercurial and always installs the latest version of each.

Configure Tortoise Hg

First step should be to make sure that you are correctly identified to TortoiseHg. You do this by opening the global settings dialog. Right click on the desktop background and

select TortoiseHg -> Global Settings.

Select the Commit page and enter a name in the Username field.

Note:If you neglect to configure a username TortoiseHg will ask you to enter one when you try to commit, which is the first time a username is actually required.

You can do more configuration changes in tortoise Hg. For further details refer this web site; http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/manual/1.0/quick.html

Create a new Repository with Tortoise Hg

Right click on the selected folder as the root of the project and select Create Repository Here. Thus Mercurial users have to create repositories in each of their working folders.

It’s better to keep Add special files (.hgignore, ...) checked, and do not check Make repo compatible with Mercurial 1.0 unless you have a strong reason to do so.

After pressing Create, Mercurial creates a subdirectory in your project folder named .hg. This is where Mercurial keeps all its version data. It is called the repository or store, while the directory containing the source files is called the working directory. You never need to specify the .hg directory when running commands, you only need to specify the working directory root.

Convert an InputStream to XML

For that we can use DocumentBuilder class in java. By using the method parse(InputStream) ; A new DOM Document object will return. InputStream input; DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder(); Document dc= parser.parse(input); In the above code segment,by using the created Document object,the corresponding XML file for the inputStream can be accessed.

Concat two xml values with XSLT

The use-case described in this blog-post,is there's an WSO2 ESB node setup to proxy an incoming message to a particular back-end endpoint.  Before delivering the message to the back-end endpoint,from the ESB node itself,this incoming message need to processed and change its inside xml payload format. For eg: Below is the incoming message <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <CinemaHall name="liberty"> <OwnerData> <Name>John Smith</Name> <openedDate>12/12/80</openedDate> <quality>good</quality> </OwnerData> <CinemaHallData> <rows>100</rows> <seats> <seat>50</seat> <seat>60</seat> </seats> </CinemaHallData> </CinemaHall> This message need to be changed as  below; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <CinemaHall name="liberty"...

Passing end-user details from client to real backend endpoint via JWT token

In real-world business system,WSO2 API Manager useful on exposing company APIs, in a secured and controlled manner with the features provided by APIManager as; OAuth support [To secure API invocations] Throttling support [To control API invocations] Monitoring support [To track API usage] More technically what happening is when a user sends a particular API request,it will goes to WSO2 APIManager node and from there,the request will route to the real implemented back-end endpoint of the particular API and get back the response and returned it to the API invoked user. There can be a use-case,that this back-end endpoint may expect the details of API invoked user as to pass those details to some internal company usage  as; Additional authentication/authorization Track usage data from an internal system. So how to support above requirement from WSO2 AM. There comes the use of JSON Web Token[JWT] implementation done inside WSO2 AM. JWT is a means of representing claims to...
