Overview of this book

WSO2 Enterprise Integrator brings together the most powerful servers provided by the WSO2 company for your SOA infrastructure. As an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), WSO2 Enterprise Integrator provides greater flexibility and agility to meet growing enterprise demands, whereas, as a Data Services Server (DSS), it provides an easy-to-use platform for integrating data stores, creating composite views across different data sources, and hosting data services. Using real-world scenarios, this book helps you build a solid foundation in developing enterprise applications with powerful data integration capabilities using the WSO2 servers. The book gets you started by brushing up your knowledge about SOA architecture and how it can be implemented through WSO2. It will help build your expertise with the core concepts of ESB such as building proxies, sequences, endpoints, and how to work with these in WSO2. Going further, you will also get well-acquainted with DSS data service concepts such as configuring data services, tasks, events, testing, and much more. The book will also cover API management techniques. Along with ESB and DSS, you will also learn about business process servers, the rules server and other components that together provide the control and robustness your enterprise applications will need. With practical use cases, the book covers typical daily scenarios you will come across while using these servers to give you hands-on experience.

In this chapter, we will look at the main concepts of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator. What is the nomenclature and the parts that have a role inside different types of services that offer us the EI server:

  • How to build SOAP Proxies and REST APIs
  • Creation of inbound endpoints for dynamic services
  • Different mediators such as send, log, script, and property
  • Transport configuration
  • Creation and configuration of sequences
  • Scheduling tasks

WSO2 EI has multiple entry types to start a service:

  • Proxy: Acts as a virtual service: receives messages and mediates them before sending them to the endpoint
  • Main Sequence: Default sequence for all messages not sent to a proxy service
  • API: Accepts REST messages that allow clients to provide additional information on how to manage the message
  • Inbound Endpoint: A message source that can be configured dynamically
  • Task: Scheduled...
