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.

How to protect your APIs with self contained access token (JWT) using WSO2 API Manager and WSO2 Identity Server

In a typical enterprise information system, there is a high chance that people will use different types of systems built by different vendors to implement certain types of functionalities. The APIs might be hosted in an API Manager developed by vendor A and the user management can be implemented using a different vendor (vendor B). In this type of a situation, one system will not be able to directly contact the other system but they want to use both systems in tandem. Self-contained access tokens are used in these types of situations where applications can get the token from one system and use that in another system to access protected resources. In this scenario, the second system does not need to make a contact to the first system over the network to validate the user information since the token is self-contained and it has relevant details about the user. This will improve the token processing time significantly since it completely removes the network interaction. The below fig...

WSO2 ESB creating a response for a "GET" request

When you are creating REST APIs with WSO2 ESB, you may need to send some response message back to the user when something goes wrong. In this kind of scenario, you can create a payload inside the ESB and send it back. For doing this, you can use the below configuration. <api xmlns=" http://ws.apache.org/ ns/synapse " name="LoopBackProxy" context="/loopback">    <resource methods="POST GET">       <inSequence>          <property name="NO_ENTITY_BODY" scope="axis2" action="remove"></property>          <log level="full"></log>          <payloadFactory media-type="xml">             <format>                <m:messageBeforeLoopBack xmlns:m=" http://services...

WSO2 ESB usage of get-property function

What are Properties? WSO2 has a huge set of mediators but property mediator is mostly used mediator for writing any proxy service or API. Property mediator is used to store any value or xml fragment temporarily during life cycle of a thread for any service or API. We can compare “Property” mediator with “Variable” in any other traditional programming languages (Like: C, C++, Java, .Net etc). There are few properties those are used/maintained by ESB itself and on the other hand few properties can be defined by users (programmers). In other words, we can say that properties can be define in below 2 categories: ESB Defined Properties User Defined Properties. These properties can be stored/defined in different scopes, like: Transport Synapse or Default Axis2 Registry System Operation Generally, these properties are read by get-properties() function. This function can be invoked with below 2 variations. get-property(String propertyName) get-property(String scop...
