How to deploy CARBON based WSO2 products on non-ROOT web context

The latest versions of WSO2 carbon product family is available for download now. This version consists of a lot of feature enhancements and bug fixes. All products are free, no hidden costs!

WSO2 Carbon based products (WSO2 WSAS, WSO2 ESB, WSO2 IS, WSO2 Governance Registry) can be deployed on any application server with minimum configuration steps. When you are setting up a web application on an application server, you must change the web context of web app. Even if you use WSO2 carbon based product in standalone mode, you may need to change the default ROOT web context.

You can change the web context easily with two steps.

1. Open CARBON_HOME/conf/carbon.xml and change the following parameter.

<WebContextRoot>/</WebContextRoot>

CARBON_HOME is the location where you extracted the binary distribution.

Suppose you need to change the web context of WSO2 WSAS to wsas. Then simply edit it as follows.

<WebContextRoot>/wsas</WebContextRoot>

2. Now you need to rename the carbon web app directory to match with the above web context.
Go to CARBON_HOME/webapps directory and rename ROOT to wsas.

Thats all! Start carbon server (i.e: WSO2 WSAS) and access administration console using the following URL

https://<hostname>:<port>/wsas/carbon

With a small improvement I'm going to introduce one of these days, you will not require to rename your webapp. Simply changing the carbon.xml WebContextRoot entry will suffice.

Is there a way to change the context root of a web application which is deployed in WSAS 4.0.0?

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...

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.

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...
