The document provides an overview of the WSO2 Integration Platform, detailing its features and components such as the WSO2 ESB, which facilitates efficient message routing, transformation, and service orchestration. It discusses the evolution of integration methodologies, highlighting the shift from point-to-point integration to using an ESB for improved scalability, maintainability, and reusability. Additionally, it covers the architecture and functionalities of related services like the WSO2 Data Services Server and Message Broker, emphasizing their roles in streamlining integration processes across various systems.

2. Agenda
• Introduc-on to WSO2 Integra-on Pla1orm
• Fundamentals of WSO2 ESB
• Demonstra-on
• Q&A

3. Evolu-on of Integra-on
Point to Point Integra-on
● Custom code, data formats for
majority of integra-on ( data
extrac-on, business rule processing,
data loading)
● Costly over -me (maintenance,
complexity)
● Tight Coupling
● Scalability is an issue
● Less reusability

4. Evolu-on of Integra-on
• Rise of SOA and ESB
– Avoid point to point integra-on with an
ESB

5. Connected Business
• An internally and externally connected
business.

6. Connected Business and Integra-on
• Integra-on is a key factor for having fric-onless
interac-ons, inside and outside the organiza-on.

13. Key Features - Transforma-on

14. Key Features – Protocol Switching

15. Key Features – Load Balancing

16. Key Features – Quality of Service

17. Key Features - Service Orchestra-on

18. Fundamentals of WSO2 ESB
• Understanding ESB message flow

19. Fundamentals of WSO2 ESB

20. Message Processing Units
- Sequences, mediators
Message Entry Points
- Proxy Services, APIs, Inbound
endpoints.
Message Exit Points
- Endpoints
Fundamentals of WSO2 ESB

21. Message Processing Units
Mediators

22. Mediators
• Transforma-on Mediators
• Filters, Switches, Iterate, Aggregate, Clone
• Property Mediator
• Script Mediators
• Custom Mediators

23. Some Mediators
Name Descrip-on
Log Mediator Logs full or part of the message, at various severity levels ( Trace, Debug, etc)
Sequence Mediator Invokes exis-ng sequence - Sequence name can be sta-c or dynamic
Send Mediator Sends a message out, using sta-c informa-on or endpoint defini-on.
Callout Mediator Performs a blocking external service invoca-on.
Switch Mediator Evaluates messages contents against regular expression and invokes the corresponding
mediator (switch-case-default)
Validate Mediator Validates message or parts of message against XML schema (schema can be local or in
registry)
Drop Mediator Stops processing of current message
Fault Mediator Transforms current message into custom Fault message

26. Message Processing Units
- Sequences, mediators

Message Exit Points
- Endpoints
Fundamentals of WSO2 ESB

27. Message Entry Points
Messages can be injected into sequences through the
following interfaces:
27
Service
o Proxy Services
o APIs
o Inbound Endpoints
o Tasks

28. Proxy Services
o Acts like a virtual service.
o Receives messages and mediates them before sending them to the endpoint
(usually an actual service)

29. Service
APIs (hUp services)
o APIs can accept REST messages which allow clients to provide addi-onal
informa-on on how to manage the message
o Unmanaged API (API-Manager for managed APIs)

API

30. Inbound Endpoints
• Crea-ng inbound messaging channels
dynamically.
– Listening Inbound – HTTP, HL7, TCP
– Polling Inbound – JMS, File/VFS
• Injects the inbound messages into an
ESB message flow.

31. Coordina-on
- In-order delivery with single consumer
Inbound Endpoints

32. Coordina-on
- Mul-ple Consumers
Inbound Endpoints

33. Service
Tasks
Allow configura-on of scheduled jobs to execute internal/external commands
o Inject a message into a proxy service, Main sequence or a named sequence
o Example:
o ESB allows scheduled tasks to go fetch data

35. Message Processing Units
- Sequences, mediators
Message Entry Points
- Proxy Services, APIs, Inbound
endpoints
Message Exit Points
- Endpoints
Fundamentals of WSO2 ESB

36. Endpoints
• Logical representa-on of one or more real backend
service, jms queue etc.
• Address, HTTP Endpoints – A logical endpoint for an
exis-ng BE service
• Load balancing / Failover – Group of endpoints for
exis-ng BE services

37. Connectors
• A connector is a ready made and convenient
tool to reach publicly available web API’s.
• ‘Cloud to Cloud’ and ‘Cloud to Enterprise’
Integra-on
• ESB Connector Store : hUps://store.wso2.com/

38. • Every connector is self-contained and
independent from ESB code
• Dynamically plug in to ESB
• Dynamic Tooling support with WSO2 Developer
Studio
• You can write, ‘your own connector’ and just
plug it in
Connectors

39. Message Store and Message Processor
• Asynchronous/One-way Messaging, JMS
• Store and forward
• Guaranteed Delivery and Rate matching
• JMS Message broker as the persistence store – WSO2 MB, Apache
Ac-ve MQ etc.
