The document discusses new features and enhancements in WSO2 ESB. It introduces cloud connectors which simplify connecting disparate cloud APIs and systems. This allows for "cloud to cloud" and "cloud to enterprise" integration using use cases like connecting Salesforce and Twitter. Other improvements include better support for RESTful integration using HTTP verbs and payloads, enhanced JSON support, and a revamped message store for reliable integration. The roadmap discusses future work areas like transport improvements and data mapping.

Introducing ‘Cloud Connectors’

11. WSO2 ESB – Cloud Connectors
• The foundation of ‘Cloud to Cloud’
and ‘Cloud to Enterprise’
Integration
• Connecting disparate Cloud APIs,
mobile and on-premise systems

12. WSO2 ESB – Cloud Connectors
• ‘Cloud to Cloud’ Integration

13. WSO2 ESB – Cloud Connectors
• ‘Cloud to Enterprise’ Integration

14. Cloud Connector Architecture
• A cloud connector simplifies the
invocation of any cloud api and hides
all the low level invocation details.
• Self Contained and independent from
ESB code
• Can be dynamically plug in to ESB
• Can be implemented with
●
●
●
ESB config language(as templates)
an existing Java Library
Java Script

15. Cloud Connector Architecture
• Dynamic ESB Configuration
<salesforce.config>
<username>kasun147@gmail.com</username>
<password>{wso2:vault-lookup('kasun.sf.pwd')}</password>
<loginUrl>https://login.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/27.0</loginUrl>
</salesforce.config>
Template name
onnector name
<salesforce.query>
Param list
<batchSize>200</batchSize>
<queryString>select Account.Name,Opportunity.Name, Amount from
Opportunity</queryString>
</salesforce.query>
<log level="full"/>

16. Cloud Connector Architecture
• Dynamic Tooling Support

17. Cloud Connectors – Use Cases
• Salesforce + Twilio – Lead Generation

18. Cloud Connectors – Use Cases
• Salesforce + Google Spread Sheet –
Opportunity Management

19. Cloud Connectors – Use Cases
• Salesforce + JIRA + Twilio – Support
Account Management

20. Cloud Connectors – Use Cases
• Twitter + Salesforce – Lead Monitor

21. RESTful Integration made easy
• Comprehensive RESTful Integration
support
●
●
Nouns and Verbs – HTTP Endpoint, Header
Mediator
Data Formats – Payload Factory (XML/JSON)
source:
http://www.ansoncheunghk.info/article/web-apis-resource-oriented-architecture

22. Better JSON Support
• JSON Transformations
●
Payload Factory supports all possible combinations
of JSON and XML transformations
 JSON CBR
 High Performance JSON parsing

23. Message Mediation Enhancements
• Call Mediator
●
●
●
●
Blocking service calls on top of non-blocking HTTP
transport
Simplifies the Service Orchestration scenarios
Used in Cloud Connectors
Equivalent performance to the Send Mediator
 Respond and LoopBack Mediators

24. Store and Forward
• Complete Revamp of Message Store
and Processors
●
●
●
Multiple Consumers (Processors) for a given store
Guaranteed Delivery for RESTful Integration
Supports security, sampling and error codes
