The article was created and inspired by a request sent to me a few days ago. Exactly the question read: How can I configure a Proxy Service for SugarCRM on WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus<\/a> (ESB)?\u00a0<\/strong><\/em> The answer to the question was simple enough and in the course of this article we will see how easy it is to configure a Proxy Service<\/em>.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0What is a Proxy Service<\/h1>\n

A Proxy Service is a virtual service that receives messages and optionally processes them before being forwarded to a service defined by an endpoint. This approach allows you to perform the necessary transformations and introduces additional functionality without changing the existing service. For example, if you want to use WS-Security<\/a><\/em> with an existing service is not secure, you can create a proxy service safely through the enabling of module WS-Security specifying a security policy. In addition, you can create a proxy service to transform requests and responses based on configurations XSLT<\/a> . A proxy service can also make the switch on the transport protocol and interface, message processing through the mediation sequences and tasks, interrupting the flow or send a message to the client even without sending it to the actual service.<\/p>\n

You can create the following types of proxy services:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pass Through Proxy<\/strong>: forwards the messages to the endpoint without performing any processing on them;;<\/li>\n
  2. Secure Proxy<\/strong>:\u00a0Use WS-Security to process incoming requests and forward them to the back-end service is not secure;<\/li>\n
  3. WSDL<\/a> Based Proxy<\/strong>\u00a0:\u00a0A proxy service is created from a remote WSDL of a web service exists. The information on the end point are extracted from the WSDL;<\/li>\n
  4. Logging Proxy<\/strong> :\u00a0Log all incoming requests and forwards them to a given endpoint. It can also record the responses from the backend service prior to routing to the client;<\/li>\n
  5. Transformer Proxy<\/strong> :\u00a0Turn all incoming requests using XSLT and then forwards them to a given endpoint. It can also transform responses from the backend service;<\/li>\n
  6. Custom Proxy<\/strong> :\u00a0A proxy personalized service where you can customize the sequences, endpoints, transport and other settings for QoS<\/a><\/em> .<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The easiest way to create and manage a proxy service is through the management console, you can still use the environment as well as WSO2 Studio<\/a> manually configure via the configuration file XML<\/a> .<\/p>\n

    A proxy service is created and exposed on certain transport (http\/s, JMS, VFS, etc...) through the Axis2<\/em> engine and can be either SOAP or REST\/POX. L 'EPR (End Point Reference) of the proxy service is built according to the name of the service, as required by the standard adopted by Axis2.<\/p>\n

    2.\u00a0Pass Through Proxy Configuration<\/h1>\n

    In the case of the proposed study, the type of proxy service that you create is a Pass Through Proxy as indicated in Figure 1.<\/p>\n

    \"Figura<\/a>

    Figure 1. Web Service<\/a> Proxy<\/p><\/div>\n

    The creation of a Pass Through Proxy requires knowledge of the following basic elements:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Name for the service;<\/li>\n
    2. Target end point: End point of the backend service. E 'can specify either the URL or select the end point from the register of WSO2;<\/li>\n
    3. URI of the WSDL document of the service backend. As for the target endpoint, you can specify either the URL or select the resource (WSDL) from WSO2 Registry;<\/li>\n
    4. The transport type (http, https, local, etc ...).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Figure 3 shows the configuration of the proxy service from the management console, in Figure 4 the list of installed services, while at Listing 1, the XML configuration of the proxy service. Once the configuration of the proxy service is terminated and the deployment was successful, the service will be online and ready to be called:<\/p>\n
