exploring the use of topic and event in Wso2 ESB - events

I’m exploring the use of topics and events in WSO2 ESB 4.8.1, I created a topic and subscribed to it the endpoint of one dataservice running in WSO2 WSAS(A), I supposed that if I published a message with the structure defined for the incoming message of one of A operations in the publish tool of the Topic Details console, the message would be sent to the supscriptor (A) and everything where going to work fine, but it don’t. Why?
I also create a proxy service with an event mediator and configured the event mediator with the name of the created topic. Then I Try the proxy service with an incoming message with the same structure explained before. I was expecting to at least get an incoming message in the WSAS Soap Tracer, but nothing happened.
Am I missing something?

The eventing infrastructure is based upon the WS-Eventing specification. Since you are using a WSDL based service as a subscriber of the topic and intend to invoke a specific operation of that service, I imagine it is failing because the SOAP message and/or SOAP action are incorrect because the message sent to the topic and the service are based around WS-Eventing and not your service.
I created the simple proxy below and subscribed it to a topic.
<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="LogSubMessage" transports="http" statistics="disable" trace="disable" startOnLoad="true">
<target>
<inSequence>
<log level="full" category="ERROR">
<property name="SERVICE" value="LogSubMessage"/>
</log>
</inSequence>
<outSequence><send/></outSequence>
</target>
</proxy>
I then sent a <test/> message to the topic.
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Header>
<ns:topic xmlns:ns="http://wso2.org/ns/2009/09/eventing/notify">topicname</ns:topic>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<test/>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
As you can see in the message above, the message logged in the service contains WS-Eventing SOAP headers and the SOAP action was set to http://ws.apache.org/ws/2007/05/eventing-extended/Publish . If your data service requires that the SOAP header contain the name of the operation to invoke, then it would reject this request.
I would suggest creating a proxy service, similar to the the one above, that would subscribe to the topic. This service would set the correct SOAP action, perform any message transformations you need, and call your data service.

Camel SOAP CXF Call With Dynamic Addresses

I'm trying to write a SOAP Web Service that:
accepts one request type A
maps request A to another outbound request type B
sends request B to an external SOAP service
maps the response B back to a response A object (and returns it)
I have this working when the endpoint (B) is statically configured.
But I want to be able to hit a variety of services with varying request/response types. These would probably be configured via a properties file.
Is it possible to do this in some generic/dynamic way?
Here's my spring camel XML:
<!— SOAP inbound service —>
<cxf:cxfEndpoint
id="paymentService_A"
serviceClass="#paymentServiceBean"
address="/PaymentService"/>
<!— SOAP outbound service —>
<cxf:cxfEndpoint
id=“paymentService_B"
wsdlURL="http://localhost:9080/externalpayment/ExternalPaymentService?wsdl"
serviceClass="com.yngwietiger.ExternalPayment"
address="http://localhost:9080/externalpayment/ExternalPaymentService"/>
<!— MAP from inbound SOAP request object to external SOAP request object —>
<bean id="mapAToB_RequestProcessor" class="com.yngwietiger.MyProcessor"/>
<!— MAP external SOAP response to a response for the initial/inbound SOAP request —>
<bean id="mapBToA_ResponseProcessor" class="com.yngwietiger.MyPostProcessor"/>
<camel:camelContext id="camelContext">
<camel:route>
<camel:from uri="cxf:bean:paymentService_A"/>
<camel:process ref="mapAToB_RequestProcessor"/>
<camel:to uri="cxf:bean:paymentService_B"/>
<camel:process ref="mapBToA_ResponseProcessor"/>
</camel:route>
</camel:camelContext>
Obviously, I'm using Camel's cxfEndpoint bean. But I don't see any way to set the address, wsdlURL, etc for each request. Is that possible?
Or am I going to have to build a route for each type? If so, how do I build one of these cxfEndpoints dynamically?
Would using Spring's WS Template be more flexible?
Is there a better way that I should be doing this?
Thanks in advance.
Camel Recipient List would better fit into your requirement. This is the link, http://camel.apache.org/recipient-list.html. You have to generate the dynamic endpoint and set into the header somewhere in the route and call the recipient list.
I think you can use HTTP endpoint for your outbound message.
As it is done in the example here

Generating a reply when using an outbound channel adapter

I have the following simplified spring integration flow:
int-ws:inbound-gateway ----> int:transformer ----> int-kafka:outbound-channel-adapter
Basically:
A web service endpoint is exposed using the int-ws:inbound-gateway
Messages from this endpoint are put onto the input channel (the first --->)
A custom transformer translates the payload JSON format and adds the MESSAGE_KEY header (required for kafka)
The message is placed onto the inputToKafka channel (the second --->)
The int-kafka:outbound-channel-adapter pushes the message to a kafka topic
The web service operation has a request and a response payload.
The request payload is what I'm transforming into the JSON message.
I would like to return a response payload (which will be marshalled etc) once the message is placed on the kafka topic by the int-kafka:outbound-channel-adapter
How do I do this?
At the moment, when I invoke the web service everything works as expected, but I have to set a reply-timeout on the int-ws:inbound-gateway so that it doesn't hang. When I do this, I simply get an empty response back on SOAPUI.
I understand the concepts in the section Gateway behavior when no response arrives - but in my case I do want to generate a response.
This is my integration context (without the kafka broker config etc):
<int-ws:inbound-gateway id="ws-inbound-gateway" request-channel="input"
marshaller="marshaller" unmarshaller="marshaller" reply-timeout="100"/>
<int:channel id="input"/>
<int:transformer input-channel="input" output-channel="inputToKafka" method="transform">
<bean class="com.test.InputToJSONTransformer"/>
</int:transformer>
<int:channel id="inputToKafka"/>
<int-kafka:outbound-channel-adapter kafka-producer-context-ref="kafkaProducerContext"
auto-startup="true"
channel="inputToKafka"
order="1">
</int-kafka:outbound-channel-adapter>
Change
<int:channel id="inputToKafka"/>
to
<int:publish-subscribe-channel id="inputToKafka"/>
Add a second subscriber to the channel.
<service-activator input-channel="inputToKafka" ... order="2" />
Where the service generates the response; it will be invoked after a successful send to kafka.
Do not include an output-channel; the framework will take care of routing the service output back to the ws gateway.
What kind of a response are you expecting from Kafka outbound channel adapter, remember it is Adapter not a Gateway
You could however introduce another component, ServiceActivator With an input channel sendToInputToKafka now your transformer will output to this channel.
Your 'ServiceActivator' should have an #Autowire MessageChannel inputToKafka and should manually send a message to this channel programmatically.
After sending that message, you will construct your desired response as a return type of the ServiceActivator and a response to your ws gateway

Spring integration service-interface gateway reply channel as shared Pub/Sub

This is similar to Intermittent BridgeHandler & PublishSubscribeChannel call when gateways' reply channel is pub/sub but the scenario is different in that the reply-channel is not getting "lost". The question is what is the best resolution for my scenario.
I am using Spring integration to launch Spring batch jobs. I have a number of input routes e.g. file polling and http requests. These all route to a batch-int Job Launching Gateway. The referenced Job Launcher has a task executor so job launches are asynchronous. This gateway replies on a specified channel.
<int:gateway service-interface="c.c.c.etl.gateway.JobSubmissionService" id="jobSubmissionService" default-request-channel="jobLauchInputChannel" default-reply-channel="jobLaunchReplyChannel">
</int:gateway>
<int:bridge id="filePollerBridge" input-channel="filePollerOutputChannel" output-channel="jobLauchInputChannel" />
<batch-int:job-launching-gateway request-channel="jobLauchInputChannel" reply-channel="jobLaunchReplyChannel" job-launcher="jobLauncher">
</batch-int:job-launching-gateway>
<int:publish-subscribe-channel id="jobLaunchReplyChannel" />
<int:bridge id="jobLaunchReplyChannelBridge" input-channel="jobLaunchReplyChannel" output-channel="loggingChannel">
</int:bridge>
This specified channel 'jobLaunchReplyChannel' is pub/sub and has a logger listening to it. This channel is also used as the reply channel for a service-interface gateway.
The issue I am having is that when jobs are requested via sources that are not the gateway (e.g. the poller) the Bridge that is added by gateway throws an exception because no reply channel is set on replies.
I have resolved this by adding a header to messages sent via the gateway and filtering out messages only with this header to a new 'gatewayReplyChannel'.
<int:gateway service-interface="c.c.c.etl.gateway.JobSubmissionService" id="jobSubmissionService" default-request-channel="httpJobRequestInputChannel" default-reply-channel="jobSubmissionServiceReplyChannel">
<int:default-header name="isJobSubmissionServiceMessage" value="true" />
</int:gateway>
<int:channel id="jobSubmissionServiceReplyChannel"></int:channel>
<int:filter id="jobSubmissionServiceReplyChannelFilter" input-channel="jobLaunchReplyChannel" expression="headers.get('isJobSubmissionServiceMessage') == null ? false : headers.get('isJobSubmissionServiceMessage')" output-channel="jobSubmissionServiceReplyChannel"
throw-exception-on-rejection="false" />
Is there a better way to do this?
Eh.. That's an interesting issue. The main cause is because MessagingGatewaySupport creates replyMessageCorrelator endpoint for an internal BridgeHandler.
And we really have that strange behaviour when we send message to the reply-channel directly. That BridgeHandler tries to send message to the replyChannel from headers.
And we really can't do anything to prevent that logic. And can't protect that explicit reply-channel from direct messages.
I think your solution is correct. Another way to overcome that: add replyChannel header from the start of another flow (file polling in your case) just using something like this:
<header-enricher>
<reply-channel ref="nullChannel"/>
</header-enricher>
Feel free to raise a JIRA issue on the matter and we'll take a look what we can do. At least we can document these specifics.

How to provide custom soap fault message if endpoint is wrong or invalid in soap request in spring integration

I am working in spring integration soap web service module for my project requirement. In my project if soap request does not find endpoint then there is a need to send soap fault message like "Invalid endpoint", for example if end point to access my service is http://www.mycomp.com/mychannel in request but user sends in request http://www.mycomp.com/myproject, here I want to send response as "invalid endpoint" soap fault.How can I achieve this in spring integration.
please find below ws-conf.xml
<context:component-scan base-package="com.mycomp.mychannel" />
<context:spring-configured/>
<context:annotation-config/>
<import resource="classpath:/WEB-INF/soap/config/g-config.xml" />
<!-- this is used for the endpoint mapping for soap request -->
<bean class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.mapping.PayloadRootAnnotationMethodEndpointMapping" />
Thanks in advance.
Your question isn't valid or isn't full. Or I just don't understand you.
Actually MessageDispatcherServlet (Spring WS) just delegates request to the SoapMessageDispatcher, which ends up with NoEndpointFoundException, if there is no Endpoint with the provided path in Request.
And that Exception will be treated as SOAPFault with the faultMessage like No endpoint can be found for request ....
So, be more specific, please. Looks like Spring WS already has all required features.

Spring Integration call Web service

I'm still new to Spring Integration and I've few question.
I have a service with WSDL deploy in tomcat server.
and I would like to send parameter from my spring integration flow to that service and receive
response back to do next things in the flow.
I should use outbound WS gateway to do this right?
and how to config the xml to do this?
i've try temperature example but still don't understand it.
thank you.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Here is my config:
<int:gateway service-interface="com.app.service.IRequester" id="IRequester"
default-request-channel="requestChannel"
default-reply-channel="responseChannel"
error-channel="errorChannel" >
</int:gateway>
<int:service-activator input-channel="requestChannel" id="bu1"
ref="BU1" method="bu1Method"
output-channel="buChannel">
</int:service-activator>
<int:service-activator input-channel="errorChannel"
ref="handlerError" method="errorReturnToGateway"
output-channel="responseChannel" >
</int:service-activator>
<int:router id="routingChannel" input-channel="buChannel" ref="RoutingChannel" method="routingChannel">
<int:mapping value="firstChannel" channel="channelFirst" />
<int:mapping value="otherChannel" channel="channelOther" />
</int:router>
<int:service-activator id="firstBU" input-channel="channelFirst"
ref="FirstBU" method="doSomething" output-channel="responseChannel">
</int:service-activator>
<int:service-activator id="otherBU" input-channel="channelOther"
ref="OtherBU" method="doSomething" output-channel="responseChannel">
</int:service-activator>
I need to change output channel from both firstBU and otherBU activator to call web service which is send a paremeter to that service(paremeter type is Hashmap) and receive same type response.
I don't know how to call web service by using ws:outbound-gateway.Since I have only known to call web service using java way by generate client java class and may be i'll call service in method doSomething.
In my case,Do you think which way is better?
And I still want to know how to solve this by use ws:outbound-gateway too.
thank you.
As far as it is SOAP, so you get deal with XML. And your WSDL provides you the contract - an XSD which XML should be sent to the service and which will be returned as a response.
So, your task to configure <int-ws:outbound-gateway> and provide correct XML as a message payload to the request-channel of that component.
The same is about a response: you get an XML as payload.
However, it is for simple WS Outbound Gateway. You can configure it with marshaller and send to the request-channel some domain POJO and that marshaller takes care about converting that POJO to the XML representation for the SOAP request.
Show, your config, please, and maybe we can help more with your concreate issues.
