Remotely starting OSGI console when WSO2 Carbon runs on an application server

When WSO2 Carbon based product (WSAS, ESB, G-reg, BPS, IS) runs in standalone mode, you can start server with equinox OSGI console just by issuing -DosgiConsole system property.

wso2server.bat -DosgiConsole

How do you connect to OSGI console when you are running Carbon on an application server such as WebSphere or WebLogic (or tomcat, JBoss etc..)?

1. Open WEB-INF/web.xml file of the carbon web application
2. Uncomment the following element

<init-param>

<param-name>osgiConsole</param-name>

<param-value>-console 19444</param-value>

</init-param>

3. Now restart carbon with these settings.
4. Open a new command window/shell and connect to osgiConsole using telnet as follows

telnet localhost 19444

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.

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...
