Simple tutorial to work with WSO2 GIT source code for developers

Some important Git commands for branching with remotes and upstream projects

First create a fork from an existing repository on wso2 repo


Then create a cloned repository in your local machine from that forked repo. Replace the URL with your own repo URL.

git clone https://github.com/chanakaudaya/carbon-mediation.git

Now add upstream repositories for your local clones repository.This should be the upstream project which you have forked from.

git remote add upstream https://github.com/wso2/carbon-mediation.git

You can remove an upstream if you needed.
git remote rm upstream


Now you can see all the available branches in your git metadata repository. Here you need to keep in mind that only metadata available for all the branches except the master (which is the local branch created by default)

git branch -a

* master
 remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
 remotes/origin/master
 remotes/origin/release-2.1.3-wso2v1
 remotes/origin/release-2.1.3-wso2v2
 remotes/upstream/master
 remotes/upstream/release-2.1.3-wso2v1
 remotes/upstream/release-2.1.3-wso2v2

If you cannot see the upstream branches list from the above command, just fetch them with the following command.

git fetch upstream

Now you should see the branched list as above.

This will list down all the available branches. Then decide on which branch you are going to work on. Let’s say you are going to work on release-2.1.3-wso2v2 branch. Now you should create a tracking branch in your local repository for that branch.

git checkout --track origin/release-2.1.3-wso2v2

Here we are creating a tracking local branch to track the origin (your forked repository, not the upstream). Now if you look at the branch list, you can see the newly created branch.

git branch -a

 master
* release-2.1.3-wso2v2
 remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
 remotes/origin/master
 remotes/origin/release-2.1.3-wso2v1
 remotes/origin/release-2.1.3-wso2v2
 remotes/upstream/master
 remotes/upstream/release-2.1.3-wso2v1
 remotes/upstream/release-2.1.3-wso2v2

Now you need to see what is the link between your remote branches and local branches. You can do that with the following command.

git remote show origin

This will give you the information about the connection between your local and remote branches.

* remote origin
 Fetch URL: https://github.com/chanakaudaya/wso2-synapse.git
 Push  URL: https://github.com/chanakaudaya/wso2-synapse.git
 HEAD branch: master
 Remote branches:
    master               tracked
    release-2.1.3-wso2v1 tracked
    release-2.1.3-wso2v2 tracked
 Local branches configured for 'git pull':
    master               merges with remote master
    release-2.1.3-wso2v2 merges with remote release-2.1.3-wso2v2
 Local refs configured for 'git push':
    master               pushes to master               (up to date)
    release-2.1.3-wso2v2 pushes to release-2.1.3-wso2v2 (up to date)

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...

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 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...
