WSO2 BAM - APIM error - Failed to write data to database


When viewing statistics of APIs in WSO2 API Manager 1.7.0 via WSO2 BAM, you may have come across the following issue. [1]

As you might know, AM sends events about requests to APIs to WSO2 BAM. And, BAM stores these data in Cassandra storage which gets later by Hive analytics scripts. For AM, we have the am_stats_analyzer. After analyzing, the summarized information gets written to a RDBMS instance. The summarized db could be mysql, oracle or even a in-memory H2 DB.

Error


This error [1] comes when a column in a summarized database table is too small to store a given value. In this, it's the resourcePath of an API. By default, the size for the resourcePath column is set to VARCHAR(100). If the resourcePath of an API is longer than 100 characters, then this error will be thrown.

Solution

The 'resourcePath' is defined in the API_Resource_USAGE_SUMMARY table in the summary db.

  • If the system is already up and running, the summarized mysql tables are already created. Therefore, we need to alter the tables to modify column lengths. You can use the following steps for that.

1. Since the issue is in a RDBMS such as mysql, you first need to log-in to console where you can execute SQL statements.
2. Then, execute the following statement.

alter table API_Resource_USAGE_SUMMARY modify resourcePath MEDIUMTEXT


  • If the summarized tables are not created yet, then you could go and and modify the table creation script in the am_stats_analyzer.
  1. Open the API_Manager_Analytics.tbox.
  2. In there, you will find am_stats_analyzer analytics script.
  3. Open that, and look for the hive.jdbc.table.create.query, which has the following summary table creation sql statement.
 CREATE TABLE API_Resource_USAGE_SUMMARY ( api VARCHAR(100), version VARCHAR(100),apiPublisher VARCHAR(100) , consumerKey VARCHAR(100),resourcePath VARCHAR(100) ,context VARCHAR(100),
        method VARCHAR(100), total_request_count INT, hostName VARCHAR(100), year SMALLINT, month SMALLINT, day SMALLINT, time VARCHAR(30), PRIMARY KEY(api,version,apiPublisher,consumerKey,context,method,time))


Change the type of resourcePath from VARCHAR(100) to MEDIUMTEXT. Save the script.

Fixing 101505 WSO2 Connection close issues


Error:

The error code 101505 means the HTTP connection initiated by the ESB has been terminated at the backend. According to the log you can determine whether message has been completely written to the backend prior to the connection close (See [Status SendingCompleted : true] in the log.) Users will usually get an error message such as the following.

{
fault: {
code: "101505"
type: "Status report"
message: "Runtime Error"
description: "Connection close For : x.x.x.x For Request : Axis2Request [Message ID : urn:uuid:84445830-ed4e-5c15-cd87-bb5b21869e3f] [Status Completed : false] [Status SendingCompleted : true]"
}


Possible fix:


Some Back-end servers do not support persistent connections. So, they tend close down the connections intermediately. If this is the case, then we should disable the Keep-Alive connections at ESB side for such back-ends.


By default Keep-Alive is enabled in WSO2 ESB/APIM. You can switch off this per proxy/api by adding the following property mediator.


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


But If you need to disable Keep-Alive globally for all the connections initiated from ESB, then that configuration should be specified in transport configuration files.

So, if you are using NIO transport, then add the following property to ESB_HOME/repository/conf/nhttp.properties. But, if you are using Passthru transport, then add the following property to ESB_HOME/repository/conf/passthru-http.properties.


http.connection.disable.keepalive=1

Restrict WSO2 Carbon management console access



The WSO2 Carbon products provides users with a browser based management console to administer the WSO2 products. All the WSO2 products comes with a management console to make the administration easier. When hosting the products ready for production, it's imperative to restrict the access to the mgt console from the external network.

Following steps shows how to restrict the access to WSO2 Carbon management console by IP.

Carbon itself gets added to the Tomcat runtime as a webapp. The "/carbon" is a servlet under it. Hence, we can use the Tomcat servlet filter, org.apache.catalina.filters.RemoteAddrFilter to restrict access.


1. Open CARBON_HOME/repository/conf/tomcat/carbon/WEB-INF/web.xml
2. Then, add the filter, org.apache.catalina.filters.RemoteAddrFilter, as follows. This filter can be used to restrict access by IP. Following is an example valve configuration to restrict the access only to localhost (considering both IPv4 and IPv6).


<filter>
    <filter-name>Remote Address Filter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.catalina.filters.RemoteAddrFilter</filter-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>allow</param-name>
            <param-value>localhost|127\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+|::1|0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1</param-value>
        </init-param>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>Remote Address Filter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/carbon/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

For parameter value reference, see - http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/valve.html#Remote_Address_Filter

JSF webapps fronted with reverse proxy



JSF web applications can be fronted by a reverse proxy just like any other applications, except when the reverse proxy has a different context path compared to the application server that this JSF webapp is deployed to.

Look at the following HTML content of a JSF Forms application. The 'action' URL of the form begins with a forward-slash '/'. This URL is actually a absolute url without the hostname. So, this is not a relative URL. This is a problem if your reverse proxy has a different context. Since the JSF webapp is not aware of the context path of the reverse proxy, the JSF form action will fail.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <h2>Welcome to Marks Calculator</h2>
  <form id="j_id_4" name="j_id_4" method="post" 
        action="/jsf-custom-viewhandler-marks/index.jsf" 
        enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
    <table cellspacing="10">
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td>Subject 1 marks:</td>
          <td>
            <input id="j_id_4:j_id_8" name="j_id_4:j_id_8" type="text" value="2" />
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Subject 2 marks:</td>
          <td>
            <input id="j_id_4:j_id_b" name="j_id_4:j_id_b" type="text" value="4" />
          </td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>
    <input id="j_id_4:j_id_c" name="j_id_4:j_id_c" type="submit" value="Calculate" />
    <input type="hidden" name="j_id_4_SUBMIT" value="1" />
    <input type="hidden" name="javax.faces.ViewState" id="javax.faces.ViewState" value="wpq2AMaIFASZtUJ+IghBD2X2mhXm5MAFTDfdI20attDvNPOF " />
  </form>
</html>

Now, let's look at how the Apache HTTPD configuration might look like. Do not add forward-slash at the end of ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse since the Location, '/as', do not have a forward-slash at the end either.


<Location /as>
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from none
    Allow from all
    ProxyPass http://localhost:9763 retry=0 timeout=5
    ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:9763
</Location>

Apache is configured to forward requests that come to http://localhost/as/ to http://localhost:9763/.

Now, you can access the webapp by using the request URL - http://localhost/as/jsf-custom-viewhandler-marks/index.jsf. Now, because of the JSF form 'action' URL, the form submit will try to call http://localhost/jsf-custom-viewhandler-marks/index.jsf which is non-existent.

Now, I hope you understand what's the problem here. In my view, this is a limitation of JSF. So, let's look at how to fix this.

 

Implementing A ViewHandler

To fix this, you need to implement javax.faces.application.ViewHandler, and register it to your webapp. In this custom view handler, we will set the action url as a relative url rather than a absolute url without the host name.

Needed dependencies -
commons-lang 2.6
commons-logging 1.1

package org.wso2.as;

import org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils;
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;

import javax.faces.application.ViewHandler;
import javax.faces.application.ViewHandlerWrapper;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

public class CustomViewHandler extends ViewHandlerWrapper {
  private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(CustomViewHandler.class);

  private ViewHandler wrappped;

  public CustomViewHandler(ViewHandler wrappped) {
    super();
    this.wrappped = wrappped;

  }

  @Override
  public ViewHandler getWrapped() {
    return wrappped;
  }

  @Override
  public String getActionURL(FacesContext context, String viewId) {
    String url =  super.getActionURL(context, viewId);
    log.debug("The getActionURL: " + url);
    return addContextPath(context, url);
  }

  @Override
  public String getRedirectURL(FacesContext context, String viewId, Map<String,
          List<String>> parameters, boolean includeViewParams) {
    String url =  super.getRedirectURL(context, viewId, parameters, includeViewParams);
    log.debug("The getRedirectURL: " + url);
    return url;
  }

  @Override
  public String getResourceURL(FacesContext context, String path) {
    String url = super.getResourceURL(context, path);
    log.debug("The getResourceURL: = " + url);
    return addContextPath(context, url);
  }

  private String addContextPath(FacesContext context, String url) {
      final HttpServletRequest request = ((HttpServletRequest) 
               context.getExternalContext().getRequest());
      String result = url;
      if (url.startsWith("/")) {
          int subpath = StringUtils.countMatches(getPath(request), "/") - 1;
          String pathPrefix = "";
          if (subpath > 0) {
              while (subpath > 0) {
                  pathPrefix += "/..";
                  subpath--;
              }
              pathPrefix = StringUtils.removeStart(pathPrefix, "/");
          }
          result = pathPrefix + result;
      }
      return result;
  }

    private String getPath(final HttpServletRequest request) {
        try {
            return StringUtils.replace(new URI(request.getRequestURI()).getPath(), "//", "/");
        } catch (final URISyntaxException e) {
            return StringUtils.EMPTY;
        }
    }

}

In the addContextPath private method, we modify the original url, and replace it with a relative url.

Then, build this class into a jar and pack it into WEB-INF/lib of your web application. You can find the source and a Apache Maven build file at the end of this article.

Now, you need to register this ViewHandler with your web application. For that, open your faces-config.xml and add your view handler as follows. The faces-config.xml is usually placed under WEB-INF/ folder in the webapp.

<application>
  <view-handler>my.package.CustomViewHandler</view-handler>
</application>

Now, the faces-config.xml might look as follows.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<faces-config xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
              xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
              xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_0.xsd"
              version="2.0">

    <application>
      <view-handler>CustomViewHandler</view-handler>
    </application>

    <navigation-rule>
        <from-view-id>/index.xhtml</from-view-id>
        <navigation-case>
            <to-view-id>/results.xhtml</to-view-id>
            <from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
        </navigation-case>
    </navigation-rule>

</faces-config>

 

Setting the sessionCookiePath

Some JSF webapps depends on sessions and JSESSIONID cookie. Usually, JSF sets this cookie to the webapp path. But if the reverse proxy has a different context, then the cookie fails to get stored in the browser properly. In my case, I use EJB with the JSF webapp, and I needed to fix this issue. Otherwise, I faced the below exception.

To fix this, you need to add context.xml to your webapp, and set the sessionCookiePath attribute. We can configure the JSESSIONID cookie path via this configuration file. In our case, we can set it as follows. See the tomcat documentation for more details.

<Context sessionCookiePath="/as/jsf-custom-viewhandler-marks">
</Context>

There, the path has taken into account the reverse proxy configuration path "/as".

Now you are all set. You can use the given Custom View Handler sample code in your own JSF webapps. I have also posted a sample JSF webapp that uses EJB. The sample app can be deployed Apache TomEE.

You can find a sample JSF Custom View Handler code here -

You can find the sample webapp here -

Invoke STS Service in WSO2 IS using CXF STS Client


Following guide describes how to invoke the STS Service in WSO2 Identity Server using a CXF STS client. The STS Client is configured via Spring.

As I have noticed, CXF STS client fails to invoke the STS service if you use the wso2carbon-sts wsdl to generate the client. So, I have followed a different approach.

Pre-requisites:


WSO2 Identity Server 4.6.0 or latter
Apache CXF 2.7.x

Instructions:


What I'm going to show you is using the CXF client via a simple stand-alone java class with Spring.

Configurations


1. First, you need to define the spring bean. Let's say the file is named wssec-sts-bean.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:cxf="http://cxf.apache.org/core"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:http="http://cxf.apache.org/transports/http/configuration"
       xsi:schemaLocation="
       http://cxf.apache.org/core   http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/core.xsd
       http://cxf.apache.org/transports/http/configuration            http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/configuration/http-conf.xsd
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans            http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
    <cxf:bus>
        <cxf:features>
            <cxf:logging/>
        </cxf:features>
    </cxf:bus>

<bean id="{http://ws.apache.org/axis2}wso2carbon-stsHttpsSoap12Endpoint.sts-client"
      class="org.apache.cxf.ws.security.trust.STSClient">
    <constructor-arg ref="cxf"/>
    <!--<property name="wsdlLocation" value="https://localhost:9443/services/wso2carbon-sts?wsdl"/>-->
    <property name="Location"
              value="https://localhost:9443/services/wso2carbon-sts.wso2carbon-stsHttpsSoap12Endpoint"/>
    <property name="serviceName" value="{http://ws.apache.org/axis2}wso2carbon-sts"/>
    <property name="endpointName" value="{http://ws.apache.org/axis2}wso2carbon-stsHttpsSoap12Endpoint"/>

    <property name="properties">
        <map>
            <entry key="ws-security.username" value="admin"/>
            <!--<entry key="ws-security.password" value="admin"/>-->
            <entry key="ws-security.callback-handler" value="com.cxf.sts.ClientCallbackHandler"/>
            <entry key="ws-security.encryption.properties"
                   value="bearer-client.properties"/>
            <entry key="ws-security.encryption.username" value="wso2carbon"/>
            <entry key="ws-security.sts.applies-to"
                   value="https://localhost:9453/services/echo"/>
        </map>
    </property>
</bean>
</beans>


NOTES: Please note that the wsdlLocation has NOT been set. Instead, we set the Location attribute which is the SOAP 1.2 STS https endpoint. Other attributes are the usual attributes that we normally set.

2. For the ws-security.encryption.properties property in the spring bean config, you have to  point to a properties file that has the encryption properties. The contents of bearer-client.properties would look like follows.

org.apache.ws.security.crypto.provider=org.apache.ws.security.components.crypto.Merlin
org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.type=jks
org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.password=wso2carbon
org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.alias=wso2carbon
org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.file=/opt/wso2/wso2is-4.6.0/repository/resources/security/client-truststore.jks

3. We need one more configuration file to store the ws-policy of the STS service. First, you need to secure the STS service in IS as described in this documentation - https://docs.wso2.org/display/IS460/Securing+the+Security+Token+Service
Now, if you browse to the wso2carbon-sts WSDL, you will see the policy that is applied to your service. Extract the policy element from the WSDL. It starts with <wsp:Policy ...>. If you secure the service with UsernameToken, then the policy would like below. Place it in a file called sts.policy.xml.

<wsp:Policy xmlns:wsp="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/policy" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd" wsu:Id="UTOverTransport">
    <wsp:ExactlyOne  xmlns:wsp="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/policy" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd" >
        <wsp:All>
            <sp:TransportBinding xmlns:sp="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/07/securitypolicy">
                <wsp:Policy>
                <sp:TransportToken>
                    <wsp:Policy>
                        <sp:HttpsToken RequireClientCertificate="false"></sp:HttpsToken>
                    </wsp:Policy>
                </sp:TransportToken>
                <sp:AlgorithmSuite>
                    <wsp:Policy>
                        <sp:Basic256></sp:Basic256>
                    </wsp:Policy>
                </sp:AlgorithmSuite>
                <sp:Layout>
                    <wsp:Policy>
                        <sp:Lax></sp:Lax>
                    </wsp:Policy>
                </sp:Layout>
                <sp:IncludeTimestamp></sp:IncludeTimestamp>
                </wsp:Policy>
            </sp:TransportBinding>
            <sp:SignedSupportingTokens xmlns:sp="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/07/securitypolicy">
                <wsp:Policy>
                    <sp:UsernameToken sp:IncludeToken="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/07/securitypolicy/IncludeToken/AlwaysToRecipient"></sp:UsernameToken>
                </wsp:Policy>
            </sp:SignedSupportingTokens>
        </wsp:All>
    </wsp:ExactlyOne>
</wsp:Policy>

Now all the configuration files are in place. Now, we can go ahead, and write java code to retrieve the sts tokens.


STS Service Invocation


1. First, we need to set the trust-store of wso2 is as a system property since we are invoking a https endpoint. And, then, we will read the spring beans file.

System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore",
        "/opt/wso2/wso2is-4.6.0/repository/resources/security/client-truststore.jks");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "wso2carbon");

2. Next, we should read the spring bean file, wssec-sts-bean.xml, and get the bean we created.

ApplicationContext ctx = new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext(
        "classpath:wssec-sts-bean.xml");
STSClient sts = (STSClient) ctx.
        getBean("{http://ws.apache.org/axis2}wso2carbon-stsHttpsSoap12Endpoint.sts-client");



3. Now, we have the STSClient instance. We need to set some attributes to the client before we can request security tokens. One is the policy we just extracted from the WSDL.

//parse the ut policy xml, and get a DOM element
File f = new File("src/main/resources/sts.policy.xml");
Element stsPolicy = loadPolicy(f.getAbsolutePath());
sts.setPolicy(stsPolicy);

sts.setTokenType("http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/oasis-wss-saml-token-profile-1.1#SAMLV2.0");
sts.setKeyType("http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/trust/Bearer");
sts.setSoap11(false);


4. Then, we can go ahead and request sts tokens.

SecurityToken samlToken = 
        sts.requestSecurityToken("http://localhost:9453/services/echo",
        "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/trust/RST/SCT",
        "/Issue", null);

//convert the token dom element to string
String token = ((DOMImplementationLS) samlToken.getToken().getOwnerDocument().getImplementation()).
        createLSSerializer().writeToString(samlToken.getToken().getOwnerDocument());
System.out.println(token);

With these steps, you should be able to invoke STS service in WSO2 Identity Server using a CXF client. You can download the full source of this from here - http://goo.gl/Dpmjee

Testing

Different ways to Revert GIT commits


In GIT, there are different requirements to revert changes. This includes reverting local changes in your working copy, revert a commit already made, rewrite already pushed GIT history etc. I'll show you how to do these in this blog. The `git log` I have used can be found at the end of this article.

  • To temporarily go back to a old revision, fool around, then come back to where you are, then you should checkout the desired commit.
git checkout 1f5d1eb7e

If you want to make some commits while you are in this older revision:
git checkout -b old_revision_branch 1f5d1eb7e


But, if you want to completely remove the commits you have made since a given revision, then there are two routes to go:

1. If you have pushed any commits:
#This will destroy all your local modifications:
git reset --hard 1f5d1eb7e

#But, if you have local work to keep:
git stash
git reset --hard 1f5d1eb7e
git stash pop
#This saves the modifications (git stash), and re-applies (git stash pop) it on top of the reset copy. You might get merge conflicts.

2. If you have already pushed the work:
Then you might not want to actually remove all the commits which will effectively rewrite the history. But what you can do is you can revert the commits. With git, revert has a very specific meaning: create a commit with a reverse patch to cancel it out. This way, you don't rewrite any history.

# This will create three separate commits
git revert 2ce3f91c4 0cc5599c5 3e5f8805a

# It also takes ranges. This will revert the last two commits:
git revert HEAD~2..HEAD

#Finally, commit
git commit

Resolve activation Module not found issue in WSO2 ESB 4.8.0


When you were upgrading your WSO2 ESB pfrom 4.7.0 or older version to 4.8.0, you might notice the following issue.  Caused by: org.wso2.carbon.CarbonException: Axis Module not found for : activation-2.1.2

This error happens if you migrate the ESB_HOME/repository/deployment/server/servicemetafiles/ folder to the ESB 4.8.0 or a later version. The reason is that activation module is not shipped with ESB anymore, but the servicemetafiles from the older version might still contain references to activation module. Since ESB cannot find that module, it throws the following error, and the proxy service fails to deploy.

To resolve this issue, you have to edit the metafiles to remove references to activation module. There, you might notice, the references like follows. The version might differ.

         <module name="activation" version="2.1.2" type="engagedModules"/>

Simply remove this line from the metafile, and then the proxy services will deploy successfully. You can create a script to do this if you have several proxy services / axis2 services.

Merge WSO2 Carbon products using Maven


It's a common requirement for users of WSO2 to combine multiple WSO2 products together everything can be run within one JVM instance. Because of component architecture of WSO2 Carbon, you can combine features from several into one product which would help some deployments. Some of the common products that get merged together are AS + DSS + BPS, ESB + IS, BAM + CEP. The default way to install products/features is to use the 'Feature Manager' in the management console. But users might want to merge products via Apache Maven. This is done by creating a maven pom.xml, and leveraging carbon-p2-plugin.

Following steps guide you on how to create merge features from different products together.

Pre-requisites -

Apache Maven 3.0.x and Apache Ant are required.

Steps -

  1.  Create a directory, and add the following in a file named pom.xml. Let's call this directory as $BASE_DIR
  2.  Download the P2-repo at http://dist.wso2.org/p2/carbon/releases/turing.tar.gz
  3.  Extract the turing.tar.gz to $BASE_DIR/p2-repo. Now, the content.jar should be located at $BASE_DIR/p2-repo/content.jar
  4.  Add the features you want additionally to the pom.xml. The sample contains two features - org.wso2.carbon.webapp.mgt.feature.group, and org.wso2.carbon.logging.mgt.feature.group. The feature listings should look like the following. The features needed for each product can be found under the p2-profile-gen/pom.xml. For ex. the AS features - https://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/carbon/platform/branches/turing/products/as/5.2.1/modules/p2-profile-gen/pom.xml
            <feature>
                <id>org.wso2.carbon.webapp.mgt.feature.group</id>
                <version>${carbon.platform.version}</version>
            </feature> 
    
  5. Enter the command `mvn clean install`
  6. Your combined product will be built at $BASE_DIR/target/wso2carbon-x.x.x.

    HowTo: One ESB - Two isolated ActiveMQ instances


    There is sometimes a need to point WSO2 ESB to two separate ActiveMQ instances which are independent from each other. So, there will be different queues in these ActiveMQ instances. And, in the proxy configuration we can specify which ActiveMQ instance to use. Following samples explain how to do this. While this blog post focus on ActiveMQ, you follow quite the same steps for other message brokers like WSO2 MB, IBM MQ etc.


    jms transportReceiver section of axis2.xml would look like below.

    <transportReceiver name="jms" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.jms.JMSListener">
      <parameter name="myTopicConnectionFactory" locked="false">
        <parameter name="java.naming.factory.initial" locked="false">org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory</parameter>
        <parameter name="java.naming.provider.url" locked="false">tcp://localhost:61616</parameter>
        <parameter name="transport.jms.ConnectionFactoryJNDIName" locked="false">TopicConnectionFactory</parameter>
        <parameter name="transport.jms.ConnectionFactoryType" locked="false">topic</parameter>
      </parameter>
      
      <parameter name="myQueueConnectionFactory" locked="false">
        <parameter name="java.naming.factory.initial" locked="false">org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory</parameter>
        <parameter name="java.naming.provider.url" locked="false">tcp://localhost:61616</parameter>
        <parameter name="transport.jms.ConnectionFactoryJNDIName" locked="false">QueueConnectionFactory</parameter>
        <parameter name="transport.jms.ConnectionFactoryType" locked="false">queue</parameter>
       </parameter>
      
       <parameter name="default" locked="false">
         <parameter name="java.naming.factory.initial" locked="false">org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory</parameter>
         <parameter name="java.naming.provider.url" locked="false">tcp://localhost:61616</parameter>
         <parameter name="transport.jms.ConnectionFactoryJNDIName" locked="false">QueueConnectionFactory</parameter>
         <parameter name="transport.jms.ConnectionFactoryType" locked="false">queue</parameter>
       </parameter>
       </transportReceiver>
    
    
    • Note the parameter names that's been set - for queues, there is configurations under 'myQueueConnectionFactory' and under 'default'
    • Now, let's go ahead and add the configurations for the other ActiveMQ instance. For that, add another <parameter> under the jms <transportReceiver> and set the java.naming.provider.url to point to the new ActiveMQ instance. Also note the parameter name you have set. Now, the <transportReceiver> section of axis2.xml would look like the following.
     <transportReceiver name="jms" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.jms.JMSListener">
           <parameter name="myTopicConnectionFactory" locked="false">
                <parameter name="java.naming.factory.initial"  locked="false">org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory</parameter>
               <parameter name="java.naming.provider.url" locked="false">tcp://localhost:61616</parameter>
                <parameter name="transport.jms.ConnectionFactoryJNDIName"  locked="false">TopicConnectionFactory</parameter>
                <parameter name="transport.jms.ConnectionFactoryType" locked="false">topic</parameter>
           </parameter>
      
           <parameter name="myQueueConnectionFactory" locked="false">
                <parameter name="java.naming.factory.initial"  locked="false">org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory</parameter>
               <parameter name="java.naming.provider.url" locked="false">tcp://localhost:61616</parameter>
                <parameter name="transport.jms.ConnectionFactoryJNDIName"  locked="false">QueueConnectionFactory</parameter>
                <parameter name="transport.jms.ConnectionFactoryType" locked="false">queue</parameter>
           </parameter>
    
    
           <parameter name="secondQueueConnectionFactory" locked="false">
                <parameter name="java.naming.factory.initial"  locked="false">org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory</parameter>
               <parameter name="java.naming.provider.url" locked="false">tcp://mq2.example.com:61616</parameter>
                <parameter name="transport.jms.ConnectionFactoryJNDIName"  locked="false">QueueConnectionFactory</parameter>
                <parameter name="transport.jms.ConnectionFactoryType" locked="false">queue</parameter>

     Now, the ESB configuration is complete. What's left is to instruct a JMS proxy service to which jms connection factory to use. We use the service level parameter, transport.jms.ConnectionFactory, to specify the connection factory name. If you did not specify any name, ESB will use the connection factory configuration under 'default'.

    A sample proxy service that uses the newly defined activemq instance would look like the following. Note the value set for the transport.jms.ConnectionFactory.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="remoteJMSProxy" transports="jms" startOnLoad="true" trace="disable">

          <property name="OUT_ONLY" value="true" scope="default"/>
            <send>

              </endpoint>
