Applying a WSDL from a local entry to a proxy service in WSO2 ESB

Local Entry (Local Registry Entry)

The local registry acts as a memory registry where an user can store text strings, XML strings, and URLs. Local entries can be used to hold various configuration elements required by sequences and proxy services. Usually they are used to hold WSDLs, XSDs, XSLT files etc. A local entry can contain XML content as well as plain text content. A local entry can be configured to load content from a remote file too. WSO2 ESB allows to add new local entries easily using user interface configuration

From this blog,I'll explain  how to attach a WSDL to a proxy service from local registry. Note that you can keep a WSDL as a local entry. But it is recommended to keep wsdls in the registry instead, for easier and better management.

Below steps will explainhow to add a WSDL from a local entry to a proxy service.
  1. Extract WSO2 ESB downloaded pack and start it.
  2. Log-in to ESB admin-console.
  3. Create the local entry for WSDL.

  • Navigate to ESB_menu->Manage->Service Bus->Local Entries 


  • Select Add Local Entries option and add the wsdl from In-lined XML Entry option or Source URL Entry option. 
  • After finished adding it,you'll see the local entry is listed in UI.For more information refer the document [1]. 

  1. Create the proxy service 
  • Navigate to ESB_menu->Manage->Add->Proxy Service and select your wanted proxy service template.Here we will select custom proxy template.
           
  • Then for the 'Publish WSDL Options';set 'Publishing WSDL' as 'Pick from registry' as below.


  • To enter 'Reference Key' value click on 'Configuration Registry' link appeared in the UI 
  • Then you will see the Resource Browser UI will pop up.


  • In that Resource Browser UI,on the top you'll see,there's a field called 'Local Registry' with a drop down.



  • Click on the drop down and you'll see the added local entry is listed there as in below image. 
              
  • Select your local entry from this dropdown and click 'Ok' on resource browser UI.Note that please don't picked the path for wsdl from browsing the registry tree.
  • Then proceed with setting endpoints,insequences,outsequences,etc properly to your proxy service.Finally you'll able to successfully create the proxy service.

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...
