Re: SynapseObject - Reminder...

[Saminda Abeyruwan]

Hi,

Please be kind enough clarify the following small questions.

1. As every element <foo/> in the synapse.xml maps to a FooMediator, how does <foo/> gets the info out of <synapseobject/>. ex: does it as follows?
<foo>
    <synapseobject name="xx">
            <synapseobject xx="xx"/> [1..n]
     </synapseobject>
</foo>

2. Does every mediator get a reference to <synapseobject/> or a selected few such as <servicemediator/> or <classmediator/> get the reference to <synapseobject/>.
3. Synapse now has a <define name="some_name"/> mediator and this mediator can reference this by <refdefine ref="some_name"/>
Is it possible to have a scenario as follows

<synapse xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">

   <servicemediator service="service1">
        <refdefine ref="customer_properties"/>
   </service>

   <classmeditator class="com.service.Service2>
         <refdefine ref="customer_properties"/>
   </classmediator>

   <servicemediator service="service3">
        <synapseobject>
              <attribute name="url" type="STRING">http://%3c</attribute>
              <synapseobject name="consumern">
                  <attribute name="identifier" type="STRING">someID</attribute>
                  <attribute name="priority" type="INTEGER">2</attribute>
            </synapseobject>
        </synapseobject>
   </servicemediator>

    <define name="customer_properties">
         <!-- attribute to service 1-->
         <synapseobject name="service1">
              <attribute name="url" type="STRING">http://%3c</attribute>
              <synapseobject name="consumer0">
                  <attribute name="identifier" type="STRING">someID</attribute>
                  <attribute name="priority" type="INTEGER">2</attribute>
            </synapseobject>
           <synapseobject name="consumer1">
                <attribute name="identifier" type="STRING">someID</attribute>
                <attribute name="priority" type="INTEGER">6</attribute>
            </synapseobject>
       </synapseobject>
       <!-- attribute to service 2-->
      <synapseobject name="service2">
              <attribute name="url" type="STRING">http://%3c</attribute>
              <synapseobject name="consumer0">
                  <attribute name="identifier" type="STRING">someID</attribute>
                  <attribute name="priority" type="INTEGER">2</attribute>
            </synapseobject>
           <synapseobject name="consumer1">
                <attribute name="identifier" type="STRING">someID</attribute>
                <attribute name="priority" type="INTEGER">6</attribute>
            </synapseobject>
       </synapseobject>
    </define>
</synapse>

4. As we agreed on, <synapseobject/> will be an extension, and what would be the way of integrating this in to Synapse at run time.

Thank you

Hi,

 

This is regarding the Synapse object proposed by me and Soumadeep...

 

For convenience I am putting below the links for reference:

< http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ws-synapse-dev/200602.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

and the source code has been available in the Scratch

<http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/synapse/trunk/scratch/infravio/synapse-SO >

 

I feel that it an effective utility and have made use of it in a all the mediators that I would like to commit . It sure has made handling mediator's config data easier..

Would be checking in the cleaned up code for SynapseObject as an extension...Which I guess is OK.

 

Please let me know if anyone has any concerns about it??
