WSO2 Carbon Studio: How to point to a non-anonymous endpoint from a sequence

Todays style is to write your synapse configuration files independently as much as possible because when things change the updates does not have to propagate through the whole synapse configuration. Even though they are independent, we'll have to connect them together to make it meaningful. In this short KB I'm going to explain the scenario of connecting sequences in Carbon Studio with named or referenced endpoints.

Projects: ESB, Carbon Studio

Scenario

  • In a C-App project you have a sequence which to point to the endpoint "foobar".
  • This endpoint "foobar" which you want to point could be 
    •     case 1 - in the same C-App project as a endpoint configuration file
    •     case 2 - already deployed in an ESB server
    •     case 3 - present as a registry resource in the registry
    •     case 4 - present as part of the synapse configuration file where the sequence also resides.

Solution

  1. To call an Endpoint you may eventually add an "Send" Mediator. (Right click on sequence -> New Child -> Core -> Send)
  2. Right click on the added "Send" mediator -> New Child -> Endpoint Reference (Registry)
  3. Select the added "Endpoint" node
  4. If the "Properties" view is not already focused, double click on the "Endpoint" node which you just selected
  5. In the properties view you now need to change the "Endpoint Key" property value
  6. Click on the value of the property. A small button "..." will appear at the end of the text box
  7. Click on that button
  8. Registry Key Property editor dialog will open 
  9. In the dialog 
    • case 1 & 2,
      • Delete all the text in the "Key" text box
      • Type the name of the endpoint which you want to refer to (in the scenario it is "foobar").
    • case 3,
      • Use the "Browse Remote Registry" section in the dialog to browse and specify the path
    • case 4,
      • In "Select Local Entry" section select the endpoint.
  10. Click "OK".
