WSO2 ESB Spring mediator sample

This post demonstrates how to write a sample spring mediator for wso2 ESB.

1. Create a java project with the following two classes.

   package spring;
   
   import org.apache.synapse.MessageContext;
   import org.apache.synapse.mediators.AbstractMediator;
   
   public class Person extends AbstractMediator {
   
       private String name;
       private String address;
       private String age;
   
       public String getName() {
           return name;
       }
   
       public void setName(String name) {
           this.name = name;
       }
   
       public String getAddress() {
           return address;
       }
   
       public void setAddress(String address) {
           this.address = address;
       }
   
       public String getAge() {
           return age;
       }
   
       public void setAge(String age) {
           this.age = age;
       }
   
       @Override
       public boolean mediate(MessageContext messageContext) {
           System.out.println("name " + name);
           System.out.println("address " + address);
           System.out.println("age " + age);
           return true;
       }
   }
   package spring;
   
   import org.apache.synapse.MessageContext;
   import org.apache.synapse.mediators.AbstractMediator;
   
   public class Customer extends AbstractMediator {
       private String type;
       private String action;
       private Person person;
   
       public void setType(String type){
           this.type = type;
       }
   
       public void setAction(String action){
           this.action = action;
       }
   
       public String getType() {
           return type;
       }
   
       public String getAction() {
           return action;
       }
   
       public Person getPerson() {
           return person;
       }
   
       public void setPerson(Person person) {
           this.person = person;
       }
   
       public boolean mediate(MessageContext arg0) {
           System.out.println("type " + type);
           System.out.println("action " + action);
           System.out.println("---------------Person Name---------------");
           System.out.println("person " + person.getName());
           System.out.println("person " + person.getAddress());
           System.out.println("person " + person.getAge());
   
           return true;
       }
   }
   

2. Build the project and copy the jar file into <ESB_HOME>/repository/components/lib folder.
3. Add spring configuration[springConfig.xml] below to registry path /_system/config/repository/springConfig.xml.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN"
   "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">
   <beans>
   
    <bean id="PersonBean1" class="spring.Person">
    <property name="name" value="Irham" />
    <property name="address" value="address 1" />
    <property name="age" value="27" />
    </bean>
   
    <bean id="PersonBean2" class="spring.Person">
    <property name="name" value="Iqbal" />
    <property name="address" value="address 2" />
    <property name="age" value="64" />
    </bean>
    <bean id="CustomerBean" class="spring.Customer">
    <property name="action" value="buy" />
    <property name="type" value="1" />
    <property name="person" ref="PersonBean1"/>
    </bean>
   </beans>
   

4.  Add the folowing synapse configuration[proxyConfig.xml] to ESB.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
    name="testSpring"
    transports="https,http"
    statistics="disable"
    trace="disable"
    startOnLoad="true">
    <target>
    <inSequence>
    <log level="full">
    <property name="START" value="________________________"/>
    </log>
    <spring:spring xmlns:spring="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
    bean="PersonBean1"
    key="conf:/repository/springConfig.xml"/>
    <spring:spring xmlns:spring="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
    bean="PersonBean2"
    key="conf:/repository/springConfig.xml"/>
    <spring:spring xmlns:spring="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
    bean="CustomerBean"
    key="conf:/repository/springConfig.xml"/>
    <log level="full">
    <property name="END" value="______________________"/>
    </log>
    </inSequence>
    </target>
    <description/>
   </proxy>
   

5.  Invoke the created service that will print the created objects assigned values on ESB log.

Java Mail API

We are accessing Gmail mail server in our application.We can get all or selected unread mails from inbox using IMAP as protocol. Then we can read or delete the emails.

1. First have to create the Store using imap protocol

   private static Store getConnection() throws MessagingException {
    Properties properties;
    Session session;
    Store store;
    properties = new Properties();
    properties.setProperty("mail.host", "imap.gmail.com");
    properties.setProperty("mail.port", "995");
    properties.setProperty("mail.transport.protocol", "imaps");
    session = Session.getInstance(properties,new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
    protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
    return new PasswordAuthentication(receiver + "@" + domain,String.valueOf(receiverPasword));
    }
    });
    try {
    store = session.getStore("imaps");
    store.connect();
    return store;
    } catch (MessagingException e) {
    log.error("Error while connecting to email store ", e);
    throw new MessagingException("Error while connecting to email store ", e);
    }
   }
   

2. Using the store you can read all the unread emails as below.

      Store store = null;
      Folder inbox = null;
      boolean emailReceived = false;
       try {
        store = getConnection();
        inbox = store.getFolder("INBOX");
        inbox.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
    Message[] messages = inbox.search(new FlagTerm(new Flags(Flags.Flag.SEEN), false));
      for (Message message : messages) {
        log.info("email subject : " + message.getSubject());
        }
       } catch (MessagingException ex) {
          log.error("Error when getting mail count", ex);
           throw new MessagingException("Error when getting mail count " + ex.getMessage(), ex);
       } finally {
         if (inbox != null) {
           inbox.close(true);
          }
        if (store != null) {
            store.close();
         }
       }
   
   

3. Or you can select emails from the store by subject contain as below.

    Store store = null;
    Folder inbox = null;
    boolean emailReceived = false;
      try {
        store = getConnection();
        Folder mailFolder = store.getFolder(folder);
        mailFolder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
        SearchTerm st = new AndTerm(new SubjectTerm(subject), new BodyTerm(subject));
        Message[] messages = mailFolder.search(st);
        for (Message message : messages) {
          if (message.getSubject().contains(subject)) {
            log.info("Found the email subject : " + subject);
           }
         }
      } catch (MessagingException ex) {
          log.error("Error when getting mail count", ex);
          throw new MessagingException("Error when getting mail count " + ex.getMessage(), ex);
      } finally {
         if (inbox != null) {
           inbox.close(true);
          }
         if (store != null) {
            store.close();
          }
      }
   
   

4. Delete emails as below

 Store store = null;
 Folder inbox = null;
   try {
     store = getConnection();
     inbox = store.getFolder("INBOX");
     inbox.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
     Message[] messages = inbox.search(new FlagTerm(new Flags(Flags.Flag.SEEN), false));
      for (Message message : messages) {
        message.setFlag(Flags.Flag.DELETED, true);
        log.info("Deleted email Subject : " + message.getSubject());
      }
     } catch (MessagingException e) {
        log.error("Error while connecting to email store ", e);
        throw new MessagingException("Error while connecting to email store ", e);
     } finally {
       if (inbox != null) {
         inbox.close(true);
       }
       if (store != null) {
         store.close();
       }
  }

How to receive email using WSO2 ESB

SCENARIO:
Imagine a scenario you need to receive emails to WSO2 ESB where you are using the mail transport.
HOW TO:
Following steps will guide you to get your scenario up and running.

1. Download a distribution of the WSO2 ESB [1].
   ie. wso2esb-4.8.1.zip
2. Extract the zip file. The folder created (wso2esb-4.8.1) will be referred as ESB_HOME.
3. Uncomment the mail TransportSender and TransportReceiver from axis2.xml ie. ESB_HOME/conf/axis2.xml.

   <transportSender name="mailto" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.mail.MailTransportSender">
   <parameter name="mail.smtp.host">smtp.gmail.com</parameter>
   <parameter name="mail.smtp.port">587</parameter>
   <parameter name="mail.smtp.starttls.enable">true</parameter>
   <parameter name="mail.smtp.auth">true</parameter>
   <parameter name="mail.smtp.user">synapse.demo.0</parameter>
   <parameter name="mail.smtp.password">mailpassword</parameter>
   <parameter name="mail.smtp.from">synapse.demo.0@gmail.com</parameter>
   </transportSender>      

   <transportReceiver name="mailto" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.mail.MailTransportListener"></transportReceiver>

4. Go to the ESB_HOME/bin and run the script which starts wso2server.
   eg. wso2server.bat for windows environments
   wso2server.sh for linux environments
5. Then the server will be started. You can access the management console using the following URL [2].
6. Log into the Mangement Console using following credentials.
   username: admin
   password: admin
7. If your using imap create a proxy service using the following proxy configuration.

   <definitions xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
    <proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
    name="MailTransportProtocolIMAP"
    transports="mailto"
    statistics="disable"
    trace="disable"
    startOnLoad="true">
     <target>
      <inSequence>
       <log level="custom">
        <property name="Date" expression="$trp:Date"/>
        <property name="Subject" expression="$trp:Subject"/>
        <property name="Content-Type" expression="$trp:Content-Type"/>
        <property name="From" expression="$trp:From"/>
       </log>
       <drop/>
      </inSequence>
      <outSequence>
        <send/>
      </outSequence>
     </target>
     <parameter name="mail.imap.socketFactory.class">javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory</parameter>
     <parameter name="mail.imap.starttls.enable">false</parameter>
     <parameter name="transport.mail.ContentType">text/plain</parameter>
     <parameter name="mail.imap.host">imap.gmail.com</parameter>
     <parameter name="transport.mail.Address">test.automation.dummy@gmail.com</parameter>
     <parameter name="mail.imap.user">test.automation.dummy</parameter>
     <parameter name="mail.imap.socketFactory.port">993</parameter>
     <parameter name="transport.PollInterval">2</parameter>
     <parameter name="mail.imap.port">993</parameter>
     <parameter name="mail.imap.ssl.enable">false</parameter>
     <parameter name="mail.imap.fetchsize">2</parameter>
     <parameter name="mail.imap.socketFactory.fallback">false</parameter>
     <parameter name="transport.mail.Protocol">imap</parameter>
     <parameter name="mail.imap.password">automation.test</parameter>
     <description/>
    </proxy>
   </definitions>

8. Or if you're using pop3 create a proxy service using the following proxy configuration.

9. <definitions xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
    <proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
    name="MailTranportAddress"
    transports="mailto"
    statistics="disable"
    trace="disable"
    startOnLoad="true">
     <target>
      <inSequence>
       <log level="custom">
        <property name="Date" expression="$trp:Date"/>
        <property name="Subject" expression="$trp:Subject"/>
        <property name="Content-Type" expression="$trp:Content-Type"/>
        <property name="From" expression="$trp:From"/>
       </log>
       <drop/>
      </inSequence>
      <outSequence>
      <send/>
      </outSequence>
     </target>
     <parameter name="mail.pop3.socketFactory.class">javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory</parameter>
     <parameter name="transport.mail.ContentType">text/plain</parameter>
     <parameter name="mail.pop3.host">pop.gmail.com</parameter>
     <parameter name="transport.mail.Address">test.automation.dummy@gmail.com</parameter>
     <parameter name="mail.pop3.user">test.automation.dummy</parameter>
     <parameter name="mail.pop3.socketFactory.port">995</parameter>
     <parameter name="transport.PollInterval">1</parameter>
     <parameter name="mail.pop3.port">995</parameter>
     <parameter name="mail.pop3.fetchsize">1</parameter>
     <parameter name="mail.pop3.socketFactory.fallback">false</parameter>
     <parameter name="transport.mail.Protocol">pop3</parameter>
     <parameter name="mail.pop3.password">automation.test</parameter>
     <description/>
    </proxy>
   </definitions>

10. Send email  to test.automation.dummy@gmail.com.
11. Now you can see the email receiving to ESB by looking at the log.
