Howto add a connector to rest-service-component - rest

In my Mule 2.X configuration I need to post a message as a URL parameter. Therefore I created a service that has an inbound and then tries to send the message using rest-service-component, as follows:
<service name="myService">
<inbound>
<vm:inbound-endpoint path="path/inbound" synchronous="true" connector-ref="myVmConnector"/>
</inbound>
<http:rest-service-component serviceUrl="http://www.domain.com/path/insert.asp" httpMethod="POST">
<http:payloadParameterName value="data_xml"/>
</http:rest-service-component>
</service>
But when I process a message through it I receive the following information:
Message : There are at least 2 connectors matching protocol "http", so the connector to use must be specified on the endpoint using the 'connector' property/attribute (java.lang.IllegalStateException)
Type : org.mule.transport.service.TransportFactoryException
Code : MULE_ERROR--2
http://www.mulesource.org/docs/site/current2/apidocs/org/mule/transport/service/TransportFactoryException.html
Normally this error can occur when you have multiple HTTP connectors configured and then you need to specify the connector on the endpoint (connector-ref). But the rest-service-component does not have such an attribute or child elements (http://www.mulesoft.org/documentation-3.2/display/MULE2USER/HTTP+Transport)

This is a very old bug that remained unresolved:
https://www.mulesoft.org/jira/browse/MULE-4272
Try to use http:outbound-endpoint instead.
UPDATE:
Try using a Groovy script component in place of the rest component to create calls to dynamic URLs in Mule 2. Something like this might work:
eventContext.sendEvent(message,"http://www.domain.com/path/insert.asp?data_xml=${payload}")
Depending on your payload, you may also have to URL encode that.

Unable to configure SSL for Kafka Connect REST API

I'm trying to configure SSL for Kafka Connect REST API (2.11-2.1.0).
The problem
I tried two configurations (worker config):
with listeners.https. prefix
listeners=https://localhost:9000
listeners.https.ssl.keystore.location=/mypath/keystore.jks
listeners.https.ssl.keystore.password=mypassword
listeners.https.ssl.key.password=mypassword
and without listeners.https. prefix
listeners=https://localhost:9000
ssl.keystore.location=/mypath/keystore.jks
ssl.keystore.password=mypassword
ssl.key.password=mypassword
Both configurations starts OK, and show following exception when trying to connect to https://localhost:9000 :
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: no cipher suites in common
In log, I see that SslContextFactory was created with any keystore, but with ciphers:
210824 ssl.SslContextFactory:350 DEBUG: Selected Protocols [TLSv1.2, TLSv1.1, TLSv1] of [SSLv2Hello, SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2]
210824 ssl.SslContextFactory:351 DEBUG: Selected Ciphers [TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384, TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384, TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256, ...]
210824 component.AbstractLifeCycle:177 DEBUG: STARTED #10431ms SslContextFactory#42f8285e[provider=null,keyStore=null,trustStore=null]
What I did
As I know that password from keystore is absolutely correct, I digged into source code, and started to debug.
Finally, I find out that neither plain ssl.* nor prefixed listeners.https.ssl.* configurations are not taken into account, and it turns that there is not possibility to configure SSL for Kafka Connect REST API currently.
Call sequence is:
RestServer.createConnector
SSLUtils.createSslContextFactory
AbstractConfig.valuesWithPrefixAllOrNothing
Last method is the reason of troubles.
If we have listeners.https. properties, they cannot be returned, because they filtered out at line 254 (since WorkerConfig contains no properties with the prefix).
Otherwise, if we have unprefixed ssl. properties, they also not returned, because values field contains only known properties from the same WorkerConfig (values are result of ConfigDef.parse).
Am I missing something, and has anyone successfully configured SSL for kafka connect rest api ?
Try export KAFKA_OPTS=-Djava.security.auth.login.config=/apps/kafka/conf/kafka/kf_jaas.conf where kf_jaas.conf contains ZooKeeper client authentication
I haven't test Connect REST API, but KafkaTemplate send and recieves messages with ssl.
From your configuration i may assume two problems:
you not specified the truststore (for certificate chain check)
you used absolute path, but spring keystore-location interprets as
relative to /webapp
I tried test application from examples:
https://memorynotfound.com/spring-kafka-and-spring-boot-configuration-example/
and
https://gist.github.com/itzg/e3ebfd7aec220bf0522e23a65b1296c8

Camel Restlet - Context Path Ambiquity

I have Spring Boot Camel application where rest apis are exposed using camel-restlet
Sample route
#Component
public class AppRoute extends RouteBuilder{
public void configure(CamelContext context){
from("restlet:employee?restletMethods=GET").log("${body}");
}
}
The App runs perfect ( spring-boot:run ). but am unable to locate under which path the API is exposed. Log has no information.
Every API i hit returns 404. Log shows the route has been started. Under which path is it running. And how do I change it?
Note: Please dont suggest any XML based configuration. Anything that I can put under #Configuration would be perfect
I would go with the Rest DSL which is supported by the camel-restlet component like this
restConfiguration().component("restlet").port(8080);
rest("/rest")
.get("employee")
.route().log("${body}")
.endRest();
And this route will listen to the following url
http://localhost:8080/rest/employee
EDIT:
I guess you could do something like without using the Rest DSL
String host = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName();
from("restlet:http://" + host + contextPath + "/employee?restletMethods=GET").log("${body}")
The port and context path are configurable with the following properties
camel.component.restlet.port=8686
server.servlet.context-path=/my-path
The context path can be injected in the routeBuilder with
#Value("${server.servlet.context-path}")
private String contextPath;
According to the documentation, the format of the URI in a restlet endpoint definition should be the following:
restlet:restletUrl[?options]
Where restletUrl should have the following format:
protocol://hostname[:port][/resourcePattern]
So in your case you could define the URI in the following way:
from("restlet:http://localhost/employee?restletMethods=GET")
This should make the endpoint available under the following URL:
http://localhost/employee
Which you can test e.g. in a web browser.
Use the first of the three configuration methods described here:
https://restlet.com/open-source/documentation/javadocs/2.0/jee/ext/org/restlet/ext/servlet/ServerServlet.html
You should be able to customize it using the Component:
https://restlet.com/open-source/documentation/javadocs/2.0/jee/api/org/restlet/Component.html?is-external=true
See in particular setServers() methods (or XML equivalent) to change the hostname and port.

Global Context Broker Federation

Until now, I've been working with a context Broker Instance in stand-alone mode created in Fi-Lab/Cloud and using psb-orion-image. Now I would like to federate an instance of that CB with http//orion.lab.fi-ware.org. I use XML forms to create, update... and the name of the instance to federate is "UPCT:TEMPERATURE:SENSOR" wich sensor type is "UPCT:SENSOR".
So, connecting by SSH I send the next form:
(curl localhost:1026/NGSI10/subscribeContext -s -S --header 'Content-Type: application/xml' -d #- | xmllint --format -) <<EOF
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<subscribeContextRequest>
<entityIdList>
<entityId type="UPCT:SENSOR" isPattern="false">
<id>UPCT:TEMPERATURE:SENSOR</id>
</entityId>
</entityIdList>
<reference>http://orion.lab.fi-ware.eu:1026/ngsi10/notifyContext</reference>
<duration>P1M</duration>
<notifyConditions>
<notifyCondition>
<type>ONCHANGE</type>
<condValueList>
<condValue>temperature</condValue>
</condValueList>
</notifyCondition>
</notifyConditions>
<throttling>PT5S</throttling>
</subscribeContextRequest>
EOF
And I get a right reply, with and subscription ID. However, if I update de contextValue of my instance and try to send a query to http://orion.lab.fi.ware.eu:1026 I receive an error:
-:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found
Auth-token not found in request header
^
I think I should get the same value that I update to my Instance as indicate in
https://forge.fi-ware.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/Publish/Subscribe_Broker_-_Orion_Context_Broker_-_User_and_Programmers_Guide#Context_Broker_Federation
I need to know what's wrong and how could I do federete to the global CB.
Thank you
That error message is due to any request sent to Orion instance at orion.lab.fi-ware.org (including the notifications sent by other Orion instances) has to use autentication. At the present moment (i.e. version 0.14.1), Orion doesn't include the X-Auth-Token needed for authentication (see the quick start for programmers) in notifications.
However, the usual use case is federating Orion at orion.lab.fi-ware.org with private Orion user instances (i.e. orion.lab.fi-ware.org -> your Orion) not in the opposite way (i.e. your Orion -> orion.lab.fi-ware.org) as your are trying. This is given that typically what you want to do is to merge public information (e.g. Santander city sensors) with private information (e.g. the information produced by your sensors). Federating orion.lab.fi-ware.org -> your Orion in that way should work perfectly.
EDIT: the limitation in Orion 0.14.1 has been overcomed an current Orion version (2.0.0) propagates X-Auth-Token header in notifications (I don't remember in which exact version between 0.14.1 and 2.0.0, sorry...)

Atmosphere Jersey - Server messages

Is it possible to let the server send messages to all connected clients without waiting for any action from them? Let me explain it :-) I've been reading the docs/examples and I have found nothing that satifies my needs: the flow is always the same; a client connects (e.g: a GET call to a Rest API), the connection is suspendend and until a new API call is received (e.g.: a POST call) the server simply waits (or at least this is what I have understood). My use case is pretty different: I want the server to send some "notifications" once new data become available. This would be my use case (pretty simplifed):
Client A connects to server
Connection is suspended since no new data is available at the moment
The server gets notified new data is available from an external
source and broadcasts it to client A
Go to step 2
What I have achieved so far is getting the connection successfully established. The next step is to solve this server issue. I must say this technology is completely new to me so it is possible I misunderstood how something works. If that's the case, let me know!
This is my stack:
Spring 3.2.0 RELEASE
Jersey 1.8
Atmosphere Jersey 1.0.13
Tomcat 7.0.40
Thank you all in advance!
UPDATE: After following this I get this warning, which I have no idea how to get rid of:
2013-06-04 09:40:36,284 WARN [org.atmosphere.cpr.AtmosphereFramework] - Failed using comet support: org.atmosphere.container.Tomcat7AsyncSupportWithWebSocket, error: Tomcat failed to detect this is a Comet application because context.xml is missing or the Http11NioProtocol Connector is not enabled.
If that's not the case, you can also remove META-INF/context.xml and WEB-INF/lib/atmosphere-compat-tomcat.jar Is the Nio or Apr Connector enabled?
2013-06-04 09:40:36,285 WARN [org.atmosphere.cpr.AtmosphereFramework] - Using org.atmosphere.container.Tomcat7BIOSupportWithWebSocket
I followed the app structure commented here, so this should not be a problem. I have noticed that by changing the transport to "websocket" instead of "long-polling" shows no errors. The server finally sends data tough :)
I followed your link and modified the code a little.
When you are in the step 3 "The server gets notified new data is available from an external source and broadcasts it to client A", you have to write a line like this:
BroadcasterFactory.getDefault().lookup("/*").broadcast(response);
At first I used the TextMessage received from my ActiveMQ Queue but I get this error, so I used a Jackson class as an object response and everything worked fine.

wsdl xmlns problems with NetBeans and wsimport

Our application provides a SOAP API. Our wsdl starting lines are something like
<wsdl:definitions name='ControlDServices' ... xmlns:soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/' ...
This usually works OK, but a customer complained that when they try to use our SOAP API in NetBeans with the wsdl we provide they got this error:
Web Service can not be created by JAXWS:wsimport utility.
Reason: invalid extension element: "soap:body" (in namespace "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/")
This can be easily recreated by running:
wsimport -d . -extension -Xnocompile -keep -s . -verbose <our wsdl file>
wihch yield the error:
[ERROR] invalid extension element: "soap:body" (in namespace "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/")
unknown location
Our support discovered that changing the xmlns:soap definition to use http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope/ solves the problem, but this requires a change in our product, and also contradict most of the places I see on the web where a wsdl:definitions file is defined. Besides, that URI seems to belong to soap-envelop and not to wsdl, and is also for a specific date, and not a general URI.
Is there a way to solve the NetBeans / wsimport problem without changing our wsdl, e.g. by changing parameters? If no, and a change is needed, is it wise to change it to http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope/, or should we use something else?
Thanks
splintor
It looks like they don't support SOAP 1.1, only SOAP 1.2.
