Hierarchical service deployment support in WSO2 WSAS-3.2.0

WSO2 WSAS-3.2.0 is the latest version of WSO2 Web Services Application Server which consists of some new features as well as a lot of bug fixes. Hierarchical service deployment is one of the new features included in the latest WSAS.
Hierarchical service deployment model allows you to deploy two (or more) different versions of the same service in a very easy manner.
Lets see how multiple versions of the same services can be deployed on WSAS-3.2.0

Pre-requisites:
Download WSO2 WSAS-3.2.0 from here

Step 1

Start WSO2 WSAS by running wso2server.sh{bat} from WSAS_HOME/bin
Access management console using https://localhost:9443/carbon and log in with the default credentials(admin/admin)

Select Axis2 Service from the left navigation menu.



You will notice there is an input text box, Service Hierarchy. Here you can specify a service path. eg:- /marketing/test
Browse a service archive (eg:- Axis2Service.aar) in your local file system and click on Upload.
The service will be deployed successfully, go to the service list page and you will the service is listed there as follows. The service name is prefixed with the hierarchy path you have given when deploying the service (marketing/test/Axis2Service)



Step 2

Now, we are going to deploy a different version of the same Axis2Service. Access the Manage --> Services --> Add --> Axis2 Service page and specify a new service hierarchy (eg:- /sales/test)
Browse the same service archive which have deployed in the previous step (Axis2Service.aar) and click on upload.

Now, you will notice a different version of the same service, sales/test/Axis2Service listed in the service management page.

Likewise, you can deploy many versions of the same service and make use them in your SOA infrastructure. Hierarchical service deployment facility can be used in Spring, Jax-WS and Jar services as well.

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...

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...
