Publish a service which provides both XML/JSON via SOAP/REST protocols in WSO2 ESB

Let's say we want to define a service in WSO2 ESB that provides the same information using different formats and protocols. It should provide both XML and JSON formats (for example 2 operations) and should be provided as SOAP and REST.
This service will consume a DSS service we will deploy as SOAP and as REST.

What is the best way to achieve this via WSO2 ESB?

1. The best approach is to use a proxy for support XML and invoke SOAP endpoint and an API for support JSON and invoke REST endpoint.




2.Then the problem is, publishing it as a proxy we get all the facilities provided in the dashboard. If we use an API we do not have the dashboard options available (statistics, mediation tracer...)

As a solution:
a. we can move the content of the API to a separate sequence then we can get the dashboard options.
b. publish them via a BAM

3. Further, we can define a sequence which transform XML to JSON and vice versa in both Proxy and API and share it with both API and Proxy.

Tips on using environment variables in WSO2 Integration Cloud

Environment variables allow you to change an application's internal configuration without changing its source code. Let’s say you want to deploy the same application in development, testing  and production environments. Then database related configs and some other internal configurations may change from one environment to another. If we can define these configurations as an environment variables we can easily set those without changing the source code of that application. When you deploy your application in WSO2 Integration Cloud, it lets you define environment variables via the UI. Whenever you change the values of environment variables, you just need to redeploy the application for the changes to take effect. Predefined environment variables Key Concepts - Environment Variables   provides you some predefined set of environment variables which will be useful when deploying applications in WSO2 Integration Cloud. Sample on how to use environment variables ...

WSO2 ESB communication with WSO2 ESB Analytics

This blog post is about how & what ports involved when connecting from WSO2 ESB to WSO2 ESB Analytics. How to configure: This document explains how to configure it https://docs.wso2.com/display/ESB500/Prerequisites+to+Publish+Statistics Let's say we have WSO2 ESB  and WSO2 ESB Analytics packs we want to run in same physical machine, then we have to offset one instance.  But we don't want to do that since WSO2 ESB Analytics by default come with the offset. So WSO2ESB will run on 9443 port, WSO2 ESB Analytics will run on 9444 port WSO2 ESB publish data to the WSO2 ESB Analytics via thrift. By default thrift port is 7611 and corresponding ssl thrift port is 7711 (7611+100), check the data-bridge-config.xml file which is in analytics server config directory .  Since we are shipping analytics products with offset 1 then thrift ports are 7612 and ssl port is 7712. Here, ssl port (7712) is used for initial authentication purposes of data publisher ...
