Each WSO2 product [eg: WSO2 ESB,GReg] provides specific and different functionalities which can be consume via product UI-admin console. But there are cases,where users want to use those functionalities,not from UI, but from their custom client implementations.That's where the importance of Carbon Admin Services come into the picture.  WSO2  Admin Services can be considered as SOAP web service endpoints which provide wso2 product specific functionalities. The admin services are not visible via the Carbon management console.  You can access the service description of the admin services[WSDL] if you know the admin service.  Before accessing the wsdl of a particular admin service,you need to enable the property < HideAdminServiceWSDLs > of carbon.xml as 'false'. You can find the admin services expose by a WSO2 product,by following below two steps. Run the server in OSGI mode ./wso2server.sh -DosgiConsole Once the server starts,type the command 'li...

WSO2 Products developed on top of the core WSO2 Carbon platform.WSO2 Carbon is a componentized Service Oriented Platform(SOA) which is built on OSGI framework,which defines a dynamic component system for Java.Bundle is the unit of modularization in OSGI.  If I described on how a WSO2 product is created ,first there are a set of components introduced and implemented as OSGI bundles.You can find such developed set of components from here .Then we group a set of components as a feature.And there are such pre-defined features which can be found from here .Then with selecting a relevant set of features,the product have been built.For example this pom.xml under the svn location contains the features set used by the product WSO2 API Manager product.And most importantly,one more advantage of this approach is at later time,product can be customize by adding more  features from wso2 feature manager at runtime. The main focus of this blog post is to guide on some OSGi leve...

This blog-post is mainly focus on API subscription process through API-Store  as described in here . Say there's a hosted WSO2 APIStore instance running in an organization.Once an app developer login to APIStore as an API Subscribe, browse  for available APIs and when he decided to use a set of APIs from his developed external application[eg: mobile/web-based application],he will  add an application to map with his developing app and then he'll subscribe each API to his created application in the APIStore. When the developer subscribe an API for an application,following three values will be generated on behalf of application.And importantly these three values are generated according to OAuth2 specification. Access Token -  The OAuth2 token which can be use to authenticate an API invocation.This token is only for the app developer [unless he shared the tokens with others(eg:3rd party users of his developed mobile app)] to use with API invocations from...
