Using the WSDL Endpoint¶

This sample demonstrates how you can use a WSDL endpoint as the target endpoint. The configuration in this sample uses a WSDL endpoint inside the send mediator. This WSDL endpoint extracts the target endpoint reference from the WSDL document specified in the configuration. In this configuration the WSDL document is specified as a URI.

Synapse configuration¶

Following is a sample REST API configuration that we can used to implement this scenario. See the instructions on how to build and run this example.

<proxy name="SimpleStockQuoteProxy" startOnLoad="true" transports="http https" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
   <target>
       <inSequence>
            <header name="Action" value="urn:placeOrder"/>
            <call>
                <endpoint>
                    <wsdl uri="file:/path/to/sample_proxy_1.wsdl"
                        service="SimpleStockQuoteService" port="SimpleStockQuoteServiceHttpSoapDefaultEndpoint"/>
                </endpoint>
            </call>
            <respond/>
       </inSequence>
       <outSequence>
            <send/>
       </outSequence>
       <faultSequence/>
   </target>
</proxy>

Build and run¶

Create the artifacts:

Set up ESB Integration Studio.
Create an integration project with an ESB Configs module and an Composite Exporter.
Create a proxy service with the configurations given above.
Deploy the artifacts in your Micro Integrator.

The WSDL file sample_proxy_1.wsdl can be downloaded from sample_proxy_1.wsdl. The WSDL URI of the endpoint needs to be updated with the path to the sample_proxy_1.wsdl file.

Set up the back-end service:

Download the back-end service.
Extract the downloaded zip file.
Open a terminal, navigate to the axis2Server/bin/ directory inside the extracted folder.
Execute the following command to start the axis2server with the SimpleStockQuote back-end service:
On MacOS/Linux/CentOS
```
sh axis2server.sh
```
On Windows
```
axis2server.bat
```

Send a request to invoke the service:

POST http://localhost:8290/services/SimpleStockQuoteProxy.SimpleStockQuoteProxyHttpSoap11Endpoint HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8
SOAPAction: "urn:mediate"
Content-Length: 428
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.1.1 (java 1.5)

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
   <m0:placeOrder xmlns:m0="http://services.samples">
            <m0:order>
                <m0:price>172.23182849731984</m0:price>
                <m0:quantity>18398</m0:quantity>
                <m0:symbol>IBM</m0:symbol>
            </m0:order>
        </m0:placeOrder>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

You will see the following output as the response:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns="http://services.samples" xmlns:ax21="http://services.samples/xsd">
    <soapenv:Body>
        <ns:placeOrderResponse>
            <ax21:status>created</ax21:status>
        </ns:placeOrderResponse>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

The WSDL endpoint inside the send mediator extracts the EPR from the WSDL document. Since WSDL documents can have many services and many ports inside each service, the service and port of the required endpoint has to be specified in the configuration via the service and port attributes respectively. When it comes to address endpoints, the QoS parameters for the endpoint can be specified in the configuration. An excerpt taken from sample_proxy_1.wsdl , which is the WSDL document used in above sample is given below.

<wsdl:service name="SimpleStockQuoteService">
   <wsdl:port name="SimpleStockQuoteServiceHttpSoapDefaultEndpoint" binding="ns:SimpleStockQuoteServiceSoap11Binding">
            <soap:address location="http://localhost:9000/services/SimpleStockQuoteService"/>
   </wsdl:port>
   <wsdl:port name="SimpleStockQuoteServiceHttpSoap12Endpoint" binding="ns:SimpleStockQuoteServiceSoap12Binding">
            <soap12:address location="http://localhost:9000/services/SimpleStockQuoteService.SimpleStockQuoteServiceHttpSoap12Endpoint"/>
   </wsdl:port>
</wsdl:service>

According to the above WSDL, the service and port specified in the configuration refers to the endpoint address: http://localhost:9000/services/SimpleStockQuoteService
