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.

  1. Hi Lalaji,
    How can we do that directly from Dev Studio ?

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
