Invoke proxy service from WSO2 ESB to BPEL Workflow process - soap

How to invoke Soap proxy service from WSO2 ESB to BPEL workflow process. Any help can be really appreciated.

Please follow the steps below.
Deploy a BPEL process on WSO2 BPS Server. (Login to the BPS Management Console and go to Processes -> Add then select the BPEL Archive(zip) file and upload it. If your BPEL process has external web service invocations, you can be hosted those web services WSO2 App Server or axis2Server)
Create a proxy service with payload factory mediator as below. Here payload factory mediaor is used to transform the payload of incoming request to the appropriate format that allow by the request for the BPEL process invocation.
<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
name="bpel_factory"
transports="https,http"
statistics="disable"
trace="disable"
startOnLoad="true">
<target>
<inSequence>
<payloadFactory media-type="xml">
<format>
<p:MultiOperatorServiceRequest xmlns:p="http://wso2.org/bps/operator"><!--Exactly 1 occurrence--><x xmlns="http://wso2.org/bps/operator">$1</x>
<!--Exactly 1 occurrence--><y xmlns="http://wso2.org/bps/operator">$2</y>
</p:MultiOperatorServiceRequest>
</format>
<args>
<arg xmlns:m="http://wso2.org/bps/operator"
evaluator="xml"
expression="//m:MultiOperatorServiceRequest/x"/>
<arg xmlns:m="http://wso2.org/bps/operator"
evaluator="xml"
expression="//m:MultiOperatorServiceRequest/y"/>
</args>
</payloadFactory>
<send>
<endpoint>
<address uri="http://10.100.7.75:9763/services/MultiOperatorService.MultiOperatorServicehttpMultiOperatorServiceBindingEndpoint/"/>
</endpoint>
</send>
</inSequence>
<outSequence>
<log level="full"/>
<respond/>
</outSequence>
</target>
<description/>
</proxy>
Next you can send a POST request with the payload to the proxy service through POSTMAN and test it.

Rest Service on WSO2 ESB API with a Mal Formed XML request

I have created an api proxy to call my rest service, but when I send in a Mal formed XML request, I only receive an HTTP status code 202.
I have coded my service to handle this mal formed xml, and I just want the ESB to pass through the request.
Here is the code to my ESB API:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<api xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="myApi" context="/restService">
<resource methods="POST">
<inSequence>
<send>
<endpoint>
<address uri="http://myserver/MyRestService"/>
</endpoint>
</send>
</inSequence>
<outSequence>
<send/>
</outSequence>
<faultSequence/>
</resource>
</api>
Thanks
In this case, ESB should be able to successfully send the message to the backend. By enabling wire logs you can make sure message sending correctly to the backend.
If you are not expecting any response from your backend, Please set out_only property in your inseqeunce

WSO2 REST to SOAP passing operation parameters

Using WSO2 ESB 4.8.1, I have configured a WSDL proxy that I want to access over REST. the proxy points to the SOAP WSDL URI and has publish WSDL turned on. This seem to work fine and I can see the service and its various operations in the WSO2 admin UI. Likewise if I go to localhost:8280/services/
The questions is how do I pass operation specific parameters when accessing over HTTP REST?
Let's say my FooService OperationX expects a "p1" parameter, can I pass this directly when accessing localhost:8280/services/FooService/OperationX in a browser?
I tried for example localhost:8280/services/FooService/SomeOperation?p1=somevalue, but always get a validation error that the required parameter is missing:
cvc-complex-type.2.4.b: The content of element 'axis2ns15:OperationXRequest' is not complete. One of '{"somenamespace":p1}' is expected.
Can this be supported by a basic WSDL proxy? Or do I need to use the API?
I think the better option for your scenario is to use api to access over REST. Here I have created an api (I used http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/comments as my REST back end) which gets the query parameter(postId) which was sent in REST request (http://172.22.99.96:8290/test/comments?postId=1) and assign that value to a property called mypostId inside the api.
Then I am modifying the payload by adding the mypostId property using payload factory mediator which will match to the echo service request(I have used echo service as the SOAP backend).
Then I use enrich mediator to change my soap envelope to match the echo service request soap envelope by adding "xmlns:echo="http://echo.services.core.carbon.wso2.org"" name space. Finally I am sending my created request to echo service proxy.
<api xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="test" context="/test">
<resource methods="GET" uri-template="/comments?postId={postId}">
<inSequence>
<log level="custom">
<property name="Message Flow" value="--- Order GET ---"></property>

<log level="custom">
<property name="postId" expression="$url:postId"></property>

</log>
<property name="extarctedBody" expression="$body"></property>
<log level="custom">
<property name="MyextarctedBody" expression="get-property('extarctedBody')"></property>
</log>
<log level="full"></log>

WSO2 esb: how to proxy REST service with numeric operation name

We are trying to implement basic SOAP-to-REST proxy service on WSO2 ESB. Our 3rd-party REST service accepts the requests in the following format:
http://<MYURL>/simpleQuery/16783484?oslc.select=value1
The problem is that operation name has numeric only format - "16783484" in our case. payloadFactory mediator does not allow having <16783484> as XML element, since XML spec restricts numeric-only element names.
<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="CQProxy" transports="https,http" statistics="disable" trace="disable" startOnLoad="true">
<target>
<inSequence>
<payloadFactory>
<format>
<16783484>
<oslc.select>$1</oslc.select>
</16783484>
</format>
<args>
<arg value="myvalue1"/>
</args>
</payloadFactory>
<send>
<endpoint>
<address uri="http://<MYURL>/simpleQuery" format="get"/>
</endpoint>
</send>
<drop/>
</inSequence>
<outSequence>
<log level="full"/>
<send/>
</outSequence>
</target>
</proxy>
How can this be overcome?
Appreciate your help!
WSO2 support team suggested the following solution. Thank you Sandapa!
In that case, you have to set endpoint format as 'rest'. And if it's a GET request you have to set 'HTTP_METHOD' as as GET. Please refer the example given below.
Example:
<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="CQProxy" transports="https,http" statistics="disable" trace="disable" startOnLoad="true">
<target>
<inSequence>
<property name="REST_URL_POSTFIX" value="/getSimpleQuote?symbol=IBM" scope="axis2" type="STRING"/>
<property name="HTTP_METHOD" value="GET" scope="axis2" type="STRING"/>
<send>
<endpoint>
<address uri="http://localhost:9000/services/SimpleStockQuoteService/" format="rest"/>
</endpoint>
</send>
<drop/>
</inSequence>
<outSequence>
<log level="full"/>
<send/>
</outSequence>
</target>

</proxy>
Although this comment is not going to suggest you a solution, I can say that this is a bad idea :-) You can try using XSLT instead of PayloadFactory to transform, but again that might choke up the XML parser. Problem is a lot of open source projects/libs that WSO2 products use and you might bump into elsewhere will honour the spec. In the long run, complying to the spec will give you less headaches when you integrate with other external tools/systems. Is it possible to change your rest service so that the service name at least have an underscore in front?

Proxy a RESTful service using SOAP with WSO2 ESB

We want to proxy a RESTful web service with SOAP.
The REST service uses the GET method and accepts inputs via query parameters. It produces a resource of type application/csv.
Does WSO2 ESB/Synapse support such a scenario, and is there an example available?
Example Request
SOAP Proxy Request:
<request>
<fromDate>2012-01-01</fromDate>
<toDate>2012-12-31</toDate>
</request>
REST Endpoint Request:
http://localhost/person?fromDate=2012-01-01&toDate=2012-12-31
Example Response
REST Endpoint Response
"Name","Age","Sex"
"Geoff","22","Male"
SOAP Proxy Response
<person>
<name>Geoff</name>
<age>22</age>
<sex>Male</sex>
<person>
Many thanks.
If I understand you correctly, you want to expose a REST service as a SOAP service, so that SOAP clients can access your REST service through the ESB?
If that is the case, it is possible :) You should check out sample 152 from these: http://docs.wso2.org/wiki/display/ESB451/Proxy+Service+Samples
It'll explain how you take a SOAP request and pass it to a REST backend and then transform the REST response into a SOAP response.
EDIT: Here's a sample configuration on how to do what you asked in the comments, hopefully it will get you started :)
<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="RESTProxy" transports="https,http" statistics="disable" trace="disable" startOnLoad="true">
<target>
<inSequence>
<!-- We set the HTTP Method we want to use to make the REST request here -->
<property name="HTTP_METHOD" value="GET" scope="axis2"/>
<!-- This is where the magic happens, for what you want i.e. mapping SOAP "params" to REST query param's -->
<property name="messageType" value="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" scope="axis2"/>
<send>
<endpoint>
<!-- This is the RESTful URL we are going to query, like the one in the ESB example 152 -->
<address uri="http://localhost/person" />
</endpoint>
</send>
</inSequence>
<outSequence>
<log level="full"/>
<property name="messageType" value="text/xml" scope="axis2"/>
<send/>
</outSequence>
</target>
<description></description>
</proxy>
Then the SOAP request you make to the ESB should be something like:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<person>
<fromDate>2012-01-01</fromDate>
<toDate>2012-12-31</toDate>
</person>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Hope that helps :)
Hope This will be very helpful you to understand of SOAP Client and REST Service communication
http://docs.wso2.org/display/ESB460/Using+REST+with+a+Proxy+Service#UsingRESTwithaProxyService-SOAPClientandRESTService
You can use class mediator to extract the SOAP parameters using XPATH. Than build the REST URL and send it back to IN sequence flow.
1. you need to get the value from SOAP PROXY
2. you need to store it in a local variable
3. you need to pass the value to the REST SERVICE using Query Parameters
4. you need to format the response from REST Service to an SOAP Format
The SOAP Request will be,
<request>
<fromDate>2012-01-01</fromDate>
<toDate>2012-12-31</toDate>
</request>
You can store the value from SOAP PROXY Request as,
<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="RESTProxy" transports="https,http" statistics="disable" trace="disable" startOnLoad="true><target>
<inSequence>
<property name="fromDate" expression="//fromDate" scope="default" type="STRING"/>
<property name="toDate" expression="//toDate" scope="default" type="STRING"/>
Then you can pass the values to the REST Service by,
<send>
<endpoint>
<http method="GET" uri-template="http://localhost/person?fromDate=={get-property('fromDate')}&toDate={get-property('toDate')}"/>
</endpoint>
</send>
</inSequence>
Then You can Format the Response using PayloadFactory mediator,
<outSequence>
<payloadFactory media-type="xml">
<format>
<person>
<Name>$1</Name>
<Age>$2</Age>
<Sex>$3</Sex>
</person>
</format>
<args>
<arg evaluator="json" expression="$.Name"/>
<arg evaluator="json" expression="$.Age"/>
<arg evaluator="json" expression="$.Sex"/>
</args>
</payloadFactory>
<send/>
</outSequence>
</target>
<description/>
</proxy>
So the Response of Proxy will be,
<person>
<name>Geoff</name>
<age>22</age>
<sex>Male</sex>
<person>

WSO2 ESP Proxy a REST Service, with dynamic params

Ive used sample 152 in the wso2 samples to proxy a remote REST service. I cant find any info on how to map the incoming soap request to the params of the uri so we can use the rest service.
Ie I would like the incoming soap request to be able to change the value of accessid=DEMO to accessid=FOO.
I can write a java client and expose it as a Axis2 proxy very easily, but thats not really using the wso2 esb..
Thanks for any pointers.
