HTTP Service

[dbbecker]

Hi folks, my name is Daniel and I'm from Brazil. Sorry for my bad english, I really need more practice.

I'm having some problems creating switchyard services using HTTP.

Today we have two applications replicated in many places. Using HTTP, these applications are integrated getting an xml response.

My goal in this project is the installation and use of the switchyard, initially orchestrating these integrations.

I´ve looked all the labs available and I haven´t found one that have a HTTP input and also perform a call to an external HTTP service.

In my opinion, the best for define the url of the external service would be use System.setProperty().

Finally, I would like to know if someone haw any sample application that contains the functionality that I described.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Daniel,

you can find how to install SwitchYard runtime in Installing SwitchYard - SwitchYard - Project Documentation Editor

see http-binding quickstart to understand how to configure HTTP quickstarts/http-binding at master · jboss-switchyard/quickstarts · GitHub

if the URL differs in your application instances, then consider using of the property in switchyard.xml.

<sca:reference name="Symbol" promote="SymbolService/SymbolService" multiplicity="1..1">

    <http:binding.http>

        <http:address>${sympolServiceUrl}</http:address>

        <http:method>POST</http:method>

        <http:contentType>text/plain</http:contentType>

    </http:binding.http>

</sca:reference>

You can use system properties (-DsymbolServiceUrl="http://www.example.com"), environment variables or JBoss AS properties for that purpose.
