Generic Properties

Info

The following are generic properties that can be used with the Property mediator and the Property Group mediator.

Generic properties allow you to configure messages as they're processed by the Micro Integrator, such as marking a message as out-only (no response message will be expected), adding a custom error message or code to the message, and disabling WS-Addressing headers.

PRESERVE_WS_ADDRESSING

Parameter Description

Name

PRESERVE_WS_ADDRESSING

Possible Values

"true", "false"

Default Behavior

none

Scope

synapse

Description

By default, the Micro Integrator adds a new set of WS-Addressing headers to the messages forwarded from the Micro Integrator. If this property is set to " true " on a message, the Micro Integrator will forward it without altering its existing WS-Addressing headers.

Example

<property name="PRESERVE_WS_ADDRESSING" value="true"/>

RESPONSE

Parameter Description

Name

RESPONSE

Possible Values

"true", "false"

Default Behavior

none

Scope

synapse

Description

Once this property is set to 'true' on a message, the Micro Integrator will start treating it as a response message. It is generally used to route a request message back to its source as the response.

Example

<property name="RESPONSE" value="true"/>

OUT_ONLY

Parameter Description

Name

OUT_ONLY

Possible Values

"true", "false"

Default Behavior

none

Scope

synapse

Description

Set this property to "true" on a message to indicate that no response message is expected for it once it is forwarded from the Micro Integrator. In other words, the Micro Integrator will do an out-only invocation with such messages. It is very important to set this property on messages that are involved in out-only invocations to prevent the Micro Integrator from registering unnecessary callbacks for response handling and eventually running out of memory.

Description for value="true"

Set this property to "true" on a message to indicate that no response message is expected for it once it is forwarded from the Micro Integrator. In other words, the Micro Integrator will do an out-only invocation with such messages. It is very important to set this property on messages that are involved in out-only invocations to prevent the Micro Integrator from registering unnecessary callbacks for response handling and eventually running out of memory.

<property name="OUT_ONLY" value="true"/>

Description for value="false"

Set this property to "false" to call the endpoint and get a response once it is forwarded from the Micro Integrator.

<property name="OUT_ONLY" value="false"/>

ERROR_CODE

Parameter Description

Name

ERROR_CODE

Possible Values

string

Default Behavior

none

Scope

synapse

Description

Use this property to set a custom error code on a message which can be later processed by a Synapse fault handler. If the Synapse encounters an error during mediation or routing, this property will be automatically populated.

Example

<property name="ERROR_CODE" value="100100"/>

ERROR_MESSAGE

Parameter Description

Name

ERROR_MESSAGE

Possible Values

string

Default Behavior

none

Scope

synapse

Description

Use this property to set a custom error message on a message which can be later processed by a Synapse fault handler. If the Synapse encounters an error during mediation or routing, this property will be automatically populated.

Example

<log level="custom">
 <property name="Cause" expression="get-property('ERROR_MESSAGE')"/>
</log>

ERROR_DETAIL

Parameter Description

Name

ERROR_DETAIL

Possible Values

string

Default Behavior

none

Scope

synapse

Description

Use this property to set the exception stacktrace in case of an error. If the Micro Integrator encounters an error during mediation or routing, this property will be automatically populated.

Example

<log level="custom">
 <property name="Trace" expression="get-property('ERROR_DETAIL')"/>
</log>

ERROR_EXCEPTION

Parameter Description
Name ERROR_EXCEPTION
Possible Values java.lang.Exception
Default Behavior none
Scope synapse
Description Contains the actual exception thrown in case of a runtime error.

TRANSPORT_HEADERS

Parameter Description

Name

TRANSPORT_HEADERS

Possible Values

java.util.Map

Default Behavior

Populated with the transport headers of the incoming request.

Scope

axis2

Description

Contains the map of transport headers. Automatically populated. Individual values of this map can be accessed using the property mediator in the transport scope.

Example

<property name="TRANSPORT_HEADERS" action="remove" scope="axis2"/>

messageType

Parameter Description

Name

messageType

Possible Values

string

Default Behavior

Content type of incoming request.

Scope

axis2

Description

Message formatter is selected based on this property. This property should have the content type, such as text/xml, application/xml, or application/json.

Example

<property name="messageType" value="text/xml" scope="axis2"/>

ContentType

Parameter Description

Name

ContentType

Possible Values

string

Default Behavior

Value of the Content-type header of the incoming request.

Scope

axis2

Description

This property will be in effect only if the messageType property is set. If the messageType is set, the value of Content-Type HTTP header of the outgoing request will be chosen based on this property. Note that this property is required to be set only if the message formatter seeks it in the message formatter implementation.

Example

<property name="ContentType" value="text/xml" scope="axis2"/>

disableAddressingForOutMessages

Parameter Description

Name

disableAddressingForOutMessages

Possible Values

"true", "false"

Default Behavior

false

Scope

axis2

Description

Set this property to "true" if you do not want the Micro Integrator to add WS-Addressing headers to outgoing messages. This property can affect messages sent to backend services as well as the responses routed back to clients.

Example

<property name="disableAddressingForOutMessages" value="true" scope="axis2"/>

DISABLE_SMOOKS_RESULT_PAYLOAD

Parameter Description

Name

DISABLE_SMOOKS_RESULT_PAYLOAD

Possible Values

"true", "false"

Default Behavior

false

Scope

synapse

Description

If this property is set to true , the result of file content processing carried out by the Smooks Mediator will not be loaded into the message context. This is useful in situations where you want to avoid large memory growth/out of heap space issue that may occur when large files processed by the Smooks mediator are reprocessed. See VFS Transport for a proxy service configuration where this property is used.

Example

<property name="DISABLE_SMOOKS_RESULT_PAYLOAD"   value="true" scope="default"     type="STRING"/>

ClientApiNonBlocking

Parameter Description

Name

ClientApiNonBlocking

Possible Values

"true", "false"

Default Behavior

true

Scope

axis2

Description

By default, Axis2 spawns a new thread to handle each outgoing message. This property holds the primary thread until a VFS proxy writes to a VFS endpoint. You need to r emove this property from the message to change this behavior when queuing transports like JMS are involved.

Example

<property name="ClientApiNonBlocking" action="remove" scope="axis2"/>

transportNonBlocking

Parameter Description

Name

transportNonBlocking

Possible Values

"true", "false"

Default Behavior

true

Scope

axis2

Description

This property works the same way as ClientApiNonBlocking . It is recommended to use ClientApiNonBlocking for this purpose instead of transportNonBlocking since the former uses the latest axis2 translations.

Example

<property name="transportNonBlocking" action="remove" scope="axis2" value="true"/>

TRANSPORT_IN_NAME

Parameter Description

Name

TRANSPORT_IN_NAME

Scope

synapse

Description

Mediation logic can read incoming transport name using this property (since WSO2 ESB 4.7.0)

Example

<log level="custom">
    <property name="INCOMING_TRANSPORT" expression="get-property('TRANSPORT_IN_NAME')"/>
</log>

preserveProcessedHeaders

Parameter Description

Name

preserveProcessedHeaders

Possible Values

"true", "false"

Default Behavior

Preserving SOAP headers

Scope

synapse(default)

Description

By default, Synapse removes the SOAP headers of incoming requests that have been processed. If we set this property to 'true', Synapse preserves the SOAP headers.

Example

<property name="preserveProcessedHeaders" value="true" scope="default"/>

SERVER_IP

Parameter Description

Name

SERVER_IP

Possible Values

IP address or hostname of the Micro Integrator host

Default Behavior

Set automatically by the mediation engine upon startup

Scope

synapse

FORCE_ERROR_ON_SOAP_FAULT

Parameter Description

Name

FORCE_ERROR_ON_SOAP_FAULT

Possible Values

"true", "false"

Default Behavior

true

Scope

synapse(default)

Description

When a SOAP error occurs in a response, the SOAPFault sent from the back end is received by the out sequence as a usual response by default. If this property is set to true, the SOAPFault is redirected to a fault sequence. Note that when this property is true , only properties in the 'operation' scope will be passed to the error handler, and other properties in the axis2 or default scopes will not be passed to the error handler.

Example

<property name="FORCE_ERROR_ON_SOAP_FAULT" value="true" scope="default" type="STRING"></property>

QUOTE_STRING_IN_PAYLOAD_FACTORY_JSON

Parameter Description

Name

QUOTE_STRING_IN_PAYLOAD_FACTORY_JSON

Possible Values

"true", "false"

Default Behavior

none

Scope

synapse

Description

When you create a JSON payload using the PayloadFactory mediator, a string value evaluated from an argument is replaced as it is. If you want to force double quotes to be added to a string value evaluated from an argument, set this property to true .

Note

Double quotes are added only if the value evaluated from an argument is string. If the value is a valid JSON number, boolean value or null, double quotes are not added.

Example

<property name="QUOTE_STRING_IN_PAYLOAD_FACTORY_JSON" value="true"/> 

RabbitMQ Properties

The following generic properties can be used in the Property mediator and the Property Group mediator for RabbitMQ use cases.

SET_ROLLBACK_ONLY

Parameter Description
Name SET_ROLLBACK_ONLY
Possible Values true/false
Scope default
Description When a message is read from a RabbitMQ message queue, it will be sent to a service running in the backend. If a failure occurs, the Micro Integrator will do a basicReject with the requeue flag set to 'false'. In that case, the user must configure a Dead Letter Exchange to avoid losing messages. The same concept could be used to control the number of retries and to delay messages.

Note that you need to set the SET_ROLLBACK_ONLY property in the fault handler (e.g., the fault sequence).
Example
<property name="SET_ROLLBACK_ONLY" value="true" scope="default" type="STRING"></property>

SET_REQUEUE_ON_ROLLBACK

Parameter Description
Name SET_REQUEUE_ON_ROLLBACK
Possible Values true/false
Scope default
Description If this property is set to true in the fault sequence, when a message is read from a RabbitMQ message queue, the Micro Integrator will do a basicReject with the requeue flag set to 'true'. This allows RabbitMQ to immediately redeliver the rejected messages to the consumer.

Note that you need to set the SET_REQUEUE_ON_ROLLBACK property in the fault handler (e.g., the fault sequence).
Example
<property name="SET_REQUEUE_ON_ROLLBACK" value="true" scope="default" type="STRING"></property>
