Exposing a Proxy Service via Inbound Endpoint¶
If a proxy service is to be exposed only via inbound endpoints, the inbound.only
service parameter has to be set in the proxy configuration.
Synapse configuration¶
Following is a sample proxy service configuration that we can used to implement this scenario. See the instructions on how to build and run this example.
<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="InboundProxy" transports="https,http" statistics="disable" trace="disable" startOnLoad="true">
<target>
<outSequence>
<send/>
</outSequence>
<endpoint>
<address uri="http://localhost:9000/services/SimpleStockQuoteService"/>
</endpoint>
</target>
<parameter name="inbound.only">true</parameter>
</proxy>
<inboundEndpoint xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
name="inbound1"
sequence="super"
onError="fault"
protocol="http"
suspend="false">
<parameters>
<parameter name="dispatch.filter.pattern">.*</parameter>
<parameter name="inbound.http.port">9090</parameter>
</parameters>
</inboundEndpoint>
Build and run¶
Create the artifacts:
- Set up WSO2 Integration Studio.
- Create an integration project with an ESB Configs module and an Composite Exporter.
- Create the proxy service and security policy with the configurations given above.
- Deploy the artifacts in your Micro Integrator.
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:
sh axis2server.sh
axis2server.bat
Send the following request to the Micro Integrator.
POST http://localhost:9090/services/InboundProxy HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8
SOAPAction: "urn:getQuote"
Content-Length: 492
Host: localhost:9090
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.1.1 (java 1.5)
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ser="http://services.samples" xmlns:xsd="http://services.samples/xsd">

</ser:request>
</ser:getQuote>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
You will get the following response:

</soapenv:Envelope>
When the proxy service is directly invoked, you will not get the response payload.
