WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 Beta Released

WSO2 team is happy to announce the beta release of the latest WSO2 ESB 5.0.0. This version of the ESB has major improvements to the usability aspects of the ESB in real production deployments as well as development environments. Here are the main features of the ESB 5.0.0 version.

Mediation debugger provides the capability to debug mediation flows from WSO2 developer studio tooling platform. It allows the users to view/edit/delete properties and the payload of the messages passing through each and every mediator.
You can find more information about this feature at below post.
Data mapper is the most awaited data transformation tool for WSO2 ESB. It allows users to load input/output message formats through xml files, json schemas or create them from the data mapper user interface itself. In addition to mapping data from input to output directly, users can apply different functions like split, aggregate, uppercase, lowercase while doing the mapping.
You can find more information about data mapper from below post.
Comprehensive Statistics/Tracing with analytics for ESB distribution. With ESB 5.0.0 onwards, WSO2 ESB comes as a complete solution with runtime + tooling + analytics. Analytics for ESB is part of this solution and it comes with a pre installed features/ dashboards for ESB specific analytics. You will get a fully fledged analytics dashboard to visualize statistics about your services and more fine grained information about internal ESB components (Proxy, API, Endpoints, Sequence, Mediators). It also allows you to trace the messages throughout the mediation flows and detect any failure messages and go through each and every mediator which the message has been passed through.
JMS 2.0 support is coming with this release. JMS has been used in many enterprise integration scenarios and it has gone through a major revamp with JMS 2.0 in terms of features and developer APIs. WSO2 ESB becomes one of the early adopters of this JMS version.
You can find more information about this feature at below blog post.
Websocket can be opened with WSO2 ESB. You are no longer restricted to the capabilities of HTTP 1.1 version with WSO2 ESB. We have provided the support for the high performing websocket protocol for HTTP communication.
JMS distributed (XA) transactions will be supported with this version of WSO2 ESB 5.0.0. Now you can communicate with multiple distributed JMS endpoints and make the end to end message processing in a transactional manner.
In addition to the above mentioned features, we have added many more features, improvements and bug fixes with this release. You can download the completed solution from below mentioned links.

WSO2 ESB tuning performance with threads

I have written several blog posts explaining the internal behavior of the ESB and the threads created inside ESB. With this post, I am talking about the effect of threads in the WSO2 ESB and how to tune up threads for optimal performance. You can refer [1] and [2] to understand the threads created within the ESB. [1] http://soatutorials.blogspot.com/2015/05/understanding-threads-created-in-wso2.html [2] http://wso2.com/library/articles/2012/03/importance-performance-wso2-esb-handles-nonobvious/ Within this blog post, I am discussing about the "worker threads" which are used for processing the data within the WSO2 ESB. There are 2 types of worker threads created when you start sending the requests to the server 1) Server Worker/Client Worker Threads 2) Mediator Worker (Synapse-Worker) Threads Server Worker/Client Worker Threads These set of threads will be used to process all the requests/responses coming to the ESB server. ServerWorker Threads will be used to pr

Understanding Threads created in WSO2 ESB

WSO2 ESB is an asynchronous high performing messaging engine which uses Java NIO technology for its internal implementations. You can find more information about the implementation details about the WSO2 ESB’s high performing http transport known as Pass-Through Transport (PTT) from the links given below. [1] http://soatutorials.blogspot.com/2015/05/understanding-wso2-esb-pass-through.html [2] http://wso2.com/library/articles/2013/12/demystifying-wso2-esb-pass-through-transport-part-i/ From this tutorial, I am going to discuss about various threads created when you start the ESB and start processing requests with that. This would help you to troubleshoot critical ESB server issues with the usage of a thread dump. You can monitor the threads created by using a monitoring tool like Jconsole or java mission control (java 1.7.40 upwards). Given below is a list of important threads and their stack traces from an active ESB server.  PassThroughHTTPSSender ( 1 Thread )

How to configure timeouts in WSO2 ESB to get rid of client timeout errors

WSO2 ESB has defined some configuration parameters which controls the timeout of a particular request which is going out of ESB. In a particular  scneario, your client sends a request to ESB, and then ESB sends a request to another endpoint to serve the request. CLIENT->WSO2 ESB->BACKEND The reason for clients getting timeout is that ESB timeout is larger than client's timeout. This can be solved by either increasing the timeout at client side or by decreasing the timeout in ESB side. In any of the case, you can control the timeout in ESB using the below properties. 1) Global timeout defined in synapse.properties (ESB_HOME\repository\conf\) file. This will decide the maximum time that a callback is waiting in the ESB for a response for a particular request. If ESB does not get any response from Back End, it will drop the message and clears out the call back. This is a global level parameter which affects all the endpoints configured in ESB. synapse.global_timeout_inte
