Consume WSO2 admin services via Javascript [Server-side]

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.
  1. Run the server in OSGI mode ./wso2server.sh -DosgiConsole
  2. Once the server starts,type the command 'listAdminServices'

Once you change above carbon.xml property and found the required admin service name,then try accessing below URL assuming that the  https port of running server is 9443.

https://localhost:9443/services/AuthenticationAdmin?wsdl

There are different ways of consuming above admin service.
  1. Via a SOAP web service client tool like Soap-UI as described in here
  2. Via a java client program as described in here
  3. Via a javascript program with Jaggery [New]
From this blog-post,I'll explain how to invoke an admin service from Jaggery.There are two inbuilt mechanisms to achieve my objective from jaggery by using WSRequest or WSStub options.
Below example code shows how to consume an admin service from jaggery,by using WSRequest module.You can download the sample code from here.You can try directly paste the jaggery-code to online try-it tool provided by jaggery web site to try with.[NOTE:Please make sure,your WSO2 product is running while trying from jaggery online try-it]

In this example ;

Admin Service Name- RemoteUserStoreManagerService
Invoked operation -isExistingUser();
Operation Payload- username [The related SOAP payload can be generated with the help of a SOAP client as Soap UI]

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...
