How to use tcpmon inside Eclipse

Apache TCPMon is an utility that allows the messages to be viewed and resent. It is very much useful as a debug tool. If you don't know much about this tool, you can find more information here , here or here.

I found an extension of this great tool, which can be included as an Eclipse plugin so that developers can monitor message transmission within their workspace without opening a separate tcpmon instance. It is very cool indeed.

Saliya Ekanayake, a colleague at WSO2 has developed this utility as part of his university project. Lets see how this tcpmon plugin can be used in Eclipse WTP.

1. If you haven't done yet, download and install Eclipse WTP

2. Download tcpmonitor-1.0.0.jar from here

3. Copy tcpmonitor-1.0.0.jar in to Eclipse_home/plugins directory

4. Start eclipse

5. Select Window --> Show View --> Other --> Tcp Monitor --> TCP Monitor

6. Tcp monitor will be added as an view tab.



Now you can configure the necessary port settings and trace message transmission.

WSO2 Stratos - Introducing WSO2 middleware Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Image
Yesterday we released our newest integrated cloud middleware platform, WSO2 Stratos . It is now online and ready for use! For the past few years, WSO2 has been doing many releases based on revolutionary Carbon platform , which helped to consistently improve the platform with introducing latest state-of-art technologies. The initial releases of Carbon product platform intended to improve the features of the individual products. For example, a lot of core features were introduced to WSO2 ESB, WSAS, Governance Registry etc.. Then we focused on ease of integration and more component based model. We introduced Equinox based provisioning model to build your SOA platform by picking and choosing the components as and when you need. Then, the core product platform has been enhanced to support multi-tenancy. With the multi-tenant supported architecture at hand, our brilliant development team was able to introduce the first ever comprehensive middleware PaaS. Why is this so important? Now, WSO2 C...

Common mistakes to avoid in WSO2 ESB - 1 - "org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: The system cannot infer the transport information from the URL"

In the next few weeks, you could expect a series of blog posts from me which explain the remedies to avoid some common mistakes which we do when working with WSO2 ESB . This is the first of many. During the initial rounds of testing your integration solution or even in production systems, you may have come across the following error. org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: The system cannot infer the transport information from the URL .... Some of you may have struggled hours figuring out a solution to address this issue. Let me explain this error in detail and possible causes of this. So, next time when you see this error in your WSO2 ESB setup, you will not have to spend time unnecessarily googling everywhere. There can be many different causes of this error. I have observed  four main reasons. Cause 1 This is the simplest cause. Suppose, you have a proxy service similar to the following. <proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="MistakesTest...

Working with HTTP multipart requests in soapUI

Image
You can use HTTP request test step in soapUI to submit messages with various Content-Types.  In this post, we will have a quick look into the multipart/form-data requests in soapUI. multipart/form-data requests usually come into action when you do HTML form submissions with file attachments. For example, have a look at the following HTML form post. <form action="http://localhost:8090/CKFileUploadApp/UploadServlet" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="file"> <input type="text" name="paramName"> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload File"> </form> In the forms like above, we have file upload option as a form input where we can upload a file along with the form submission. In that case, the request's HTTP content type will be multipart/form-data. How can we simulate such a request using soapUI...
