Creating a Project Solution¶

An integration solution consists of one or several project directories. These directories store the various artifacts that you create for your integration sequence.

WSO2 Integration Studio allows you to simultaneously create all the project directories that are required for your solution by using a single wizard.

Follow the steps given below.

Prerequisites¶

It is recommended to get the latest updates for your WSO2 Integration Studio before trying these instructions.

Step 1: Select the required projects¶

Open WSO2 Integration Studio and click Integration → Create Integration Project in the Getting Started view as shown below.

In the New Integration Project dialog that opens, provide the following information:

Project Type	Description
Integration Project Name	Required. Enter a name for the main project (Config project) in this field. The Config project stores the mediation sequence and related mediation artifacts.
Create Composite Application Project	You will need this project when you package your solution.
Create Registry Resources Project	Select this option if you will use registry resources in your integration solution.
Create Connector Exporter project	Select this option if you will add Connectors in your integration solution.
Create Docker Exporter project	You will need this project if you are deploying the solution on Docker.
Create Kubernetes Exporter project	You will need this project if you are deploying the solution on Kubernetes.

Click Next to go to the next step or click Finish to end the process.

Step 2: Enter Docker project information (Optional)¶

Tip

The following step is only available if you have selected Create Docker Exporter Project in step 1.

In the Docker Project Information page, enter the details required for the Docker project.

Parameter	Description
Base Image Repository	Required. Select the base Micro Integrator Docker image for your solution. Use one of the following options: wso2/micro-integrator: This is the community version of the Micro Integrator Docker image, which is stored in the public WSO2 Docker registry. This is selected by default. docker.wso2.com: This is the Micro Integrator Docker image that includes product updates. This image is stored in the private WSO2 Docker registry. Note that you need a valid WSO2 subscription to use the Docker image with updates. You can also use a custom Docker image from a custom repository. If you specify a Docker image from a private repository, note that you need to log in to your repository from a terminal before you build the image.
Base Image Tag	Required. Specify the tag of the base image that you are using.
Target Image Repository	Required. The Docker repository to which you will later push this Docker image. If your repository is in Docker Hub, use the docker_user_name/repository_name format. If you are using any other repository, use the repository_url/repository_user_name/repository_name forrmat. If required, you can update this information later when you build the Docker image or when you push the image to the relevant repository.
Target Image Tag	Required. Give a tag name for the Docker image.
Environment Variables	You can enter multiple environment variables as key-value pairs.

Click Next to go to the next step or click Finish to end the process.

Step 3: Enter Kubernetes project information (Optional)¶

Tip

The following step is only available if you have selected Create Kubernetes Exporter Project in step 1.

In the Kubernetes Project Information page, enter the details required for the Kuberntes project.

Parameter	Description
Integration Name	Required. This name will be used to identify the integration solution in the kubernetes custom resource. The custom resource file (integration_cr.yaml) for this solution will be generated along with the other artifacts.
Number of Replicas	Required. Specify the number of pods that should be created in the kubernetes cluster.
Base Image Repository	Required. Select the base Micro Integrator Docker image for your solution. Use one of the following options: wso2/micro-integrator: This is the community version of the Micro Integrator Docker image, which is stored in the public WSO2 Docker registry. This is selected by default. docker.wso2.com/wso2mi: This is the Micro Integrator Docker image that includes product updates. This image is stored in the private WSO2 Docker registry. Note that you need a valid WSO2 subscription to use the Docker image with updates. You can also use a custom Docker image from a custom repository. If you specify a Docker image from a private repository, note that you need to log in to your repository from a terminal before you build the image.
Base Image Tag	Required. Specify the tag of the base image that you are using.
Target Image Repository	Required. The Docker repository to which you will later push this Docker image. If your repository is in Docker Hub, use the docker_user_name/repository_name format. If you are using any other repository, use the repository_url/repository_user_name/repository_name forrmat. If required, you can update this information later when you build and push the Docker image to the relevant repository.
Target Image Tag	Required. Give a tag name for the Docker image.
Automatically deploy configurations	This check box indicates that you are using WSO2 EI 7 Micro Integrator as the base image. It is recommended to leave this check box selected when you use WSO2 EI 7.
Environment Variables	Multiple environment variable as key-value pairs.

Click Next to go to the next step or click Finish to end the process.

Step 4: Update Maven information (Optional)¶

In the Additional Information page, update the Maven information:

Step 5: Finish the process¶

Once you have added all the mandatory information, click Finish to save the projects.

The projects are created and saved in the project explorer. See the example given below.

Go to Docker project directory or Kubernetes project directory for more details about the directory structure.

What's Next?¶

You can now start creating the integration artifacts.
