First Three Weeks at WSO2

Though leaving the uni life and uni friends and switching to the career life feels very sad ,
I would like to say it was an awesome time period ,I was able to experience during my first three weeks at WSO2.
I started my career from 13th of September 2010.

The first week at WSO2 was full of different experiences including Introduction program,Two-days WSO2 conference,Discussion about products with customers and the fabulous WSO2 birthday party.
The second week began with dividing new comers to teams.I was allocated to GS (Gadget Server)team.
Our team is for developing a web based portal as a dashboard solution to integrate WSO2 back-end products and more as gadgets.

At the first day of WSO2,we were given laptops and the first thing that I was done as a task ,is installing Ubuntu.Since I'm new to Ubuntu environment,I had to get familiarized with friends' support.

Then I started to get the Carbon product to my machine.First I checked out the Carbon product from the trunk and then built it successfully.Though it took couple of days to finish by fixing some build errors.
Since my Product Manager was getting study leave from my second week at WSO2,he gave me a task to do during that time.For that as the initial step, I got familiarized with jQuery,Json,JSP and JavaScript technologies.
During working on this task,I was able to participate some training sessions and get a better idea about OSGI framework,Create OSGI bundles, Importance of OSGI bundles,about Axis2,about WSDL and Web services,Create web services in different ways,etc.

Finally I would say,it's really a great opportunity to start my career from WSO2 and wants to ensure myself as a permanent member of WSO2 family after probation period. :)

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.

CORS support from WSO2 API Manager 2.0.0

Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a mechanism that allows restricted resources  on a web page to be requested from another domain outside the domain from which the first restricted resource was served. For example, an HTML page of a web application served from http://domain-a.com makes an <img src >  request for a different domain as 'domain-b.com' to get an image via an API request.  For security reasons, browsers restrict cross-origin HTTP requests initiated from within scripts as in above example and only allows to make HTTP requests to its own domain. To avoid this limitation modern browsers have been used CORS standard to allow cross domain requests. Modern browsers use CORS in an API container - such as  XMLHttpRequest  or Fetch - to mitigate risks of cross-origin HTTP requests.Thing to  note is it's not only sufficient that the browsers handle client side of cross-origin sharing,but also the servers from which these resources getting need to handl

[WSO2 AM] APIStore User Signup as an approval process

In previous versions of WSO2 APIManager before 1.6.0, it was allowed any user who's accessible the running APIStore come and register to the app.But there will be requirement like,without allowing any user to signup by him/her self alone,first get an approve by a privileged user and then allow to complete app registration.Same requirement can be apply to application creation and subscription creation as well.To fulfill that,we have introduced workflow extension support for  WSO2 APIManager  and you can find the introductory post on this feature from my previous blog post on " workflow-extentions-with-wso2-am-160 " . From this blog-post,I'll explain how to achieve simple workflow integration with default shipped resources with  WSO2 APIManager 1.6.0 and WSO2 Business Process Server 3.1.0 with targeting "user-signup" process. Steps First download the WSO2 APIManager 1.6.0[AM] binary pack from product download page . Extract it and navigate to
