411 Response on Post from WSO2 API Manager to REST endpoint - json

I have setup a REST endpoint in WSO2 AM that calls out to another REST endpoint. When the call is made I am receiving a 411 response code. The request contains a JSON body, the content type and accepts header are set to application/json. I can curl the backing service that WSO2 is accessing directly with the same params and it works correctly. It seems that WSO2 AM is stripping or not sending the content-length.
Why is the content length not being sent to the REST endpoint that is being accessed?

Sending content-length is disabled by default because it can cause performance degradation. But you can enable it by adding following to the api's insequence. (see https://docs.wso2.com/display/AM1100/Adding+Mediation+Extensions on adding custom sequence to an api)
<property name="COPY_CONTENT_LENGTH_FROM_INCOMING" value="true" scope="axis2"/>
<property name="FORCE_HTTP_CONTENT_LENGTH" scope="axis2" value="true"></property>
following is a sample sequnce
<sequence xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="contentLengthadd">
<property name="COPY_CONTENT_LENGTH_FROM_INCOMING" value="true" scope="axis2"/>
<property name="FORCE_HTTP_CONTENT_LENGTH" scope="axis2" value="true"></property>
</sequence>
This sequence will get the content length from incoming request request and pass it the request header to the backend.
you can read more about these two properties in https://docs.wso2.com/display/ESB481/HTTP+Transport+Properties#HTTPTransportProperties-FORCE_HTTP_CONTENT_LENGTH

filtering json fileds without conditions using wso2 esb

In WSO2 ESB,how to pass certain json fields as request?
And adding the remaining json fields with the response?
You need to use API's if you want to pass json as the request, you can frame json request and test via SOAP UI by selecting the media type as application/json.
ESB will accept this request and then by default converts it into an XML format, you can use xpath to perform different instructions and then if you want json as the output of your API you need to use the below syntax before exiting your API.<property name="messageType" scope="axis2" type="STRING" value="application/json; charset=utf-8"/>
<property name="ContentType" scope="axis2" type="STRING" value="application/json; charset=utf-8"/>

How to convert SOAP response with xsi values to json in WSO2esb

I'm using wso2 esb 4.8.1 version for SOAP to rest conversion with as API. I have a soap request with xsi values. After I generate the proper soap request with script mediator and um getting an expected response. But I have an issue with response. Because I need t convert the soap response into json. When I tried with following out sequence um not getting the proper json response with axis2. How can I convert this soap response into json properly?
This it the soap response.
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Body>
<ns1:easyDownloadResponse xmlns:ns1="http://usermanage.ivas.huawei.com" soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<easyDownloadReturn href="#id0"/>
</ns1:easyDownloadResponse>
<multiRef xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:ns2="http://response.usermanage.ivas.huawei.com" id="id0" soapenc:root="0" soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xsi:type="ns2:EasyDownloadResp">
<eventClassName xsi:type="xsd:string" xsi:nil="true"/>
<failedResources xsi:type="soapenc:Array" xsi:nil="true"/>
<operationID xsi:type="xsd:long">0</operationID>
<resultCode xsi:type="xsd:int">0</resultCode>
<resultInfo xsi:type="xsd:string" xsi:nil="true"/>
<returnCode xsi:type="xsd:string">000000</returnCode>
<toneTransactionID xsi:type="soapenc:Array" xsi:nil="true"/>
<transactionID xsi:type="xsd:string" xsi:nil="true"/>
</multiRef>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
This is the response which i'm getting
{"easyDownloadResponse":{"#encodingStyle":"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/","easyDownloadReturn":{"#href":"#id0"}}}
This is my out sequence
<outSequence xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
<property name="messageType" value="application/json" scope="axis2" type="STRING"></property>
<send></send>
</outSequence>
All your answers are highly welcome.
Finally I found the solution for the issue. In the normal case we use
<property name="messageType" value="application/json" scope="axis2" type="STRING"></property>
But this axis2 property cannot convert the complex soap response into json such as with xsi.
For that need to use the following axis2 property. Then it converts the entire soap response into Json as we expected.
<property name="messageType" value="application/json/badgerfish" scope="axis2" type="STRING"></property>
This is my full outsequence.
<outSequence xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
<property name="messageType" value="application/json/badgerfish" scope="axis2" type="STRING"></property>
<send></send>
</outSequence>
You can try payload mediator to get exact json format 1. But still you may have to uncomment the following lines in
$ESB_HOME/repository/conf/axis2/axis2.xml
<!--messageFormatter contentType="application/json"
class="org.apache.axis2.json.JSONStreamFormatter"/-->
<!--messageBuilder contentType="application/json"
class="org.apache.axis2.json.JSONStreamBuilder"/-->
By default, JSON messages are converted to XML when they are received by the PayloadFactor mediator. However, if you enable the JSON stream formatter and builder, incoming JSON messages are left in JSON format.
And also you can use script mediator again (In outsequence) to modify your json response. Refer this sample

Terminating send mediator with mailto transport wso2 esb

There are numerous examples of using the mailto transport in WSO2 ESB to send emails (based on filter mediator, fault sequence etc.). However, I have attempted this a number of ways all with the same result i.e. that the proxy service never terminates. I am testing this using SOAPUi.
This is my proxy service
<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="TMCService" transports="https,http" statistics="enable" trace="enable" startOnLoad="true">
<target inSequence="gov:/trunk/sequences/seqGetTMCData">
<outSequence>
<filter xmlns:trac="http://mynamespaceuri" xpath="//trac:SaveIncidentsResponse">
<then>
<log level="full"/>
<property name="Subject" value="CEP Event" scope="transport"/>
<property name="OUT_ONLY" value="true"/>
<send>
<endpoint>
<address uri="mailto:conrad.crampton#gmail.com"/>
</endpoint>
</send>
</then>
<else>
<send/>
</else>
</filter>
</outSequence>
</target>
<description></description>
</proxy>
the email sends no problem with the response from the inSequence - no problem, it just never terminates. I have to manually stop it in SOAPUi to stop.
I've tried putting drop after the send in the then element, that doesn't work either.
I guess I am missing something fundamental in how I am understanding the out sequence to work, but this is pretty much lifted from the many examples out there and no one else appears to be having the same issue as me.
Any suggestions/ pointers??
WSO2 ESB v4.5.1
I have resolved this by cloning the response message, sending one to the mailto transport and sending the other one as a default send (no endpoint) which returns back to the client.
Kind of makes sense as the OUT_ONLY property is explicitly saying there will be no response, so have ensure that the client receives one by cloning the message.
Still welcome any other comments if there is another way of doing this without clone mediator.
So why doesn't the examples show this!

Spring RESTful Web Service with JSON gives HTTP 406 error code

I am using Spring 3.2.5 to create a RESTful web service. To implement it I've used #ResponseBody tag. When I use InternalResourceViewResolver and try to load Html response then it is working fine. But when I call a URL which is marked as #ResponseBody then it gives HTTP 406 error code with error text as
The resource identified by this request is only capable of generating responses with characteristics not acceptable according to the request "accept" headers.
I have included Jackson jar files in my lib directory as well.
Here is my controller method which handles service request.
#ResponseBody
#RequestMapping (value = "/resp.htm")
public Data jsonResp() {
Data d = new Data();
d.setName("TEst");
d.setAddr("Address....");
return d;
}
There are lots of questions have been asked & answered, I've tried many of them, but it still gives the same result. Then I came across a new kind of answer, which was stating to use ContentNegotiatingViewResolver. By using it I am able to view response in intended format. That is JSON format.
After using ContentNegotiatingViewResolver, servlet dispatcher code looks like this:
<bean
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ContentNegotiatingViewResolver">
<property name="order" value="1" />
<property name="mediaTypes">
<map>
<entry key="json" value="application/json" />
</map>
</property>
<property name="defaultViews">
<list>
<!-- JSON View -->
<bean
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.json.MappingJacksonJsonView">
</bean>
</list>
</property>
<property name="ignoreAcceptHeader" value="true" />
</bean>
<bean id="viewResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="order" value="2" />
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/view/" />
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</bean>
So, my question is, whenever we require to use Spring's Web Service feature, do we must require to have ContentNegotiatingViewResolver?
Add gson in your class path. as well as jackson
I had a similar issue while calling a spring rest service from angular 8 for uploading a file. I was using ResponseEntity to encapsulate the success or failure message for which I was having the 406 response. all I did was in the UI side this.httpClient.post(url, formData,{responseType: 'text'}) and I was able accept the string as response from the service response.
The annotation #ResponseBody used with custom class types, generally uses MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter to convert the object to JSON and return it in application/json content.
Since your request doesn't contain an Accept header for application/json, Spring deems the content it's creating as unacceptable and instead returns a 406.
You could simply change your request to add the Accept header. (You can't do this easily in a browser).
In my case the request had .html suffix and received this error. Once removed, it worked fine.
All you need to do is to add jackson libraries to your classpath find them Here

Spring Restful, Post multiple formats like json/xml/domain object into same action

I am writing a Spring Restful webservices application using Spring MVC. I have used content negotiating viewer to respond multiple data formats for eg. If some one requests a URL with .xml extension an XML will be sent in response body similarly if someone requests with an .json extension, an json will be sent in response body.
Now, I want the same process inwards, say if some body wants to post a Json or xml or a simple post from a webpage form using post method to same action, it should be able to handle all these.
This way i will be able to write a Web Service+Web Application in a single Spring MVC+Restful Application.
Thanks in advance for the help :)
You can use headers attribute of #RequestMapping annotation.
#RequestMapping(value = "/pets", method = RequestMethod.POST, headers="content-type=text/*")
to narrow content-type of requests your method is going to serve.
edit:
If you want to sent different content type in request body, then the only thing you need to do is to define MessageConverter (I assume you already did that) and annotate your method parameter with
#RequestBody
Spring should deserialize the body of your request using the MessageConverter you defined.
So assuming you have something like:
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter">
<property name="messageConverters">
<util:list>
<bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter"/>
</util:list>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="contentNegotiatingViewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ContentNegotiatingViewResolver">
<property name="mediaTypes">
<util:map>
<entry key="json" value="application/json"/>
</util:map>
</property>
<property name="defaultViews">
<util:list>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.json.MappingJacksonJsonView"/>
</util:list>
</property>
</bean>
in your spring context.
Annotating your method like this:
#RequestMapping(method=PUT, value="/user/{user_id}")
public void putUser(#RequestBody User user, #PathVariable int user_id) {
...
}
should do the job.
You don't have to do anything. You register converts and they will in turn tell "spring" what Content-types they can handle. XStream registers application/xml and text/xml (perhaps more), jackson registers application/json and so on.
It's all available at http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/spring-framework-reference/html/mvc.html#mvc-ann-responsebody
I also don't like the filename-standard, I prefer to leave that to the same converter. In that case it will look at the Accept-header. If you want json, set Accepts: application/json.
