<section name="Apache Synapse ESB - Quick Start Guide">
<p>
This guide will demonstrate two sample applications covering the basic and
the most common usage scenarios of Synapse; which is Message mediation and
Service mediation (i.e. using Proxy services). You will be guided through
a step by step approach to get a feeling about Synapse from the absolute
beginning.
</p>
</section>
<section name="Pre-requisites">
<p>
You should have following pre-requisites installed on your system to
follow through this guide
</p>
<ul>
<li>
A Java 2 SE - JDK or JRE of version 1.5.x or higher (JDK 1.6.0_21 recommended)
</li>
<li>
Apache Ant <a href="http://ant.apache.org">http://ant.apache.org</a>
</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section name="Message Mediation">
<p>
In this example Synapse will be used to simply log all the messages
passing through it. Although this simple scenario only performs logging,
it demonstrates the basics of message mediation, where the logging
functionality could be replaced with any combination of advanced
mediations such as transformations, content based routing as well as
bridging between different communication protocols etc. So, let's start
with the basics.
</p>
<h3>
Download
</h3>
<p>
Our first task is to download Synapse. Open a web browser and access the
following URL:
<a href="http://synapse.apache.org/download.html">http://synapse.apache.org/download.html</a>.
You will then see the list of available releases. Click on the latest version, and you
will be directed to the Synapse release download page. Now download the
'Standard binary distribution' ZIP or tar.gz archive compatible with your
operating system.
</p>
<h3>
Installation
</h3>
<p>
Synapse can be installed just by extracting the downloaded binary
archive.. A directory named synapse with the release number will be
created in the selected parent directory, containing all the files
required for Synapse. We will refer to this directory as &lt;synapse-home&gt;
from now on.
</p>
<h3>
Running the Sample
</h3>
<p>
Synapse ships with a set of sample clients and services to demonstrate
some of its core capabilities. Hence, you will need to run three programs
to get an idea of message mediation. The destination server that hosts the
ultimate service to be invoked to service the client, the client itself,
and Synapse, which acts as the intermediary to bridge between the client
and the server.
</p>
<p/>
<h4>
Starting the Sample Axis2 Server
</h4>
<p>
In this case we are using a standalone Axis2 web services engine as the
server. You don't have to get it now, it is already bundled with your
Synapse distribution. But we have to deploy a sample service for which
client can send requests. Go to &lt;synapse-home&gt;/samples/axis2Server/src/SimpleStockQuoteService
directory. Run "ant" to build and deploy this service to the sample Axis2
server.

This sends a request for a stock quote for the symbol IBM and sets the
transport URL to Synapse (http://localhost:8280) and the WS-Addressing EPR
set that to the actual server
(http://localhost:9000/services/SimpleStockQuoteService). The actual wire
level http message sent by the client is as follows, and is sent to port
8280 to the Synapse instance on localhost.

Now take a look at the console running Synapse. You will see that all the
details of the mediation are logged along with all the SOAP messages
passed through Synapse. If you execute Synapse in debug mode by editing
the lib/log4j.properties "log4j.category.org.apache.synapse" as "DEBUG"
instead of INFO, you will see more information as follows after a restart
and replay of the above scenario again.

And with that you have successfully completed the first part of this guide. Now let's
look at the next scenario, proxy services.
</p>
</section>
<section name="Proxy Services">
<p>
As the name implies, a proxy service acts as a service hosted in Synapse,
and typically fronts an existing service endpoint. A proxy service can be
created and exposed on a different transport, schema, WSDL, or QoS (such
as WS-Security, WS-Reliable Messaging) aspect than the real service and
could mediate the messages before being delivered to the actual endpoint,
and the responses before they reach the client.
</p>
<p>
Clients can send requests for proxy services directly to Synapse, as the
client sees as if they are hosted on it, and for example can perform ?wsdl
and view the WSDL of the virtual proxy service. But in the Synapse
configuration, such requests can be handled in anyway you like. Most
obvious thing would be to do some processing to the message and send it to
the actual service, probably running on a different computer. But it is
not necessary to always send the message to the actual service. You may
list any combination of tasks to be performed on the messages received for
the proxy service and terminate the flow or send some java back to the
client even without sending it to an actual service. Let's explore a
simple proxy services scenario step by step to get a better feeling. As
you have downloaded and installed Synapse in the previous section, now you
can start directly on the sample.
</p>
<h3>
Running the Sample
</h3>
<p>
As in the previous section, there should be three entities running to
demonstrate proxy services, the server, client and Synapse. Let's start
with the server.
</p>
<p/>
<h4>
Starting the Sample Axis2 Server
</h4>
<p>
As you have built and deployed the SimpleStockQuote service in the
previous section, you can simply start the server by switching to the &lt;synapse-home&gt;/samples/axis2Server
directory and running the following command.
</p>
<div class="command">
<p>
Linux / Unix: . axis2server.sh
</p>
<p>
Windows: axis2server.bat
</p>
</div>
<p>
You can see the console messages as in the previous section.
</p>
<h4>
Starting Synapse
</h4>
<p>
We have to start Synapse with a configuration containing a proxy service
definition. In this case we are using the synapse_sample_150.xml, so that
you don't have to write the configuration your self.
</p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">&lt;definitions xmlns="http://synapse.apache.org/ns/2010/04/configuraiton"&gt;
&lt;proxy name="StockQuoteProxy"&gt;
&lt;target&gt;
&lt;endpoint&gt;
&lt;address uri="http://localhost:9000/services/SimpleStockQuoteService"/&gt;
&lt;/endpoint&gt;
&lt;outSequence&gt;
&lt;send/&gt;
&lt;/outSequence&gt;
&lt;/target&gt;
&lt;publishWSDL uri="file:repository/conf/sample/resources/proxy/sample_proxy_1.wsdl"/&gt;
&lt;/proxy&gt;
&lt;/definitions&gt;</pre>
<p>
The above configuration will expose a proxy service named StockQuoteProxy
and specifies an endpoint
(http://localhost:9000/services/SimpleStockQuoteService) as the target for the
proxy service. Therefore, messages coming to the proxy service will be
directed to the address http://localhost:9000/services/SimpleStockQuoteService
specified in the endpoint. There is also an out sequence for the proxy
service, which is applicable for response messages. In the out sequence,
we just send the messages back to the client. The publishWSDL tag
specifies an WSDL to be published for this proxy service. Let's start
Synapse with this sample configuration by running the below command from
the &lt;synapse-home&gt;/bin directory. It is possible to specify a
sequence of mediation for incoming messages instead of a target endpoint,
and many other possibilities and options are available to configure proxy
services. These are explained in the samples and configuration guides.
</p>
<div class="command">
<p>
Linux / Unix: . synapse.sh -sample 150
</p>
<p>
Windows: synapse.bat -sample 150
</p>
</div>
<p>
Synapse will display a set of messages as in the previous section
describing the steps of starting procedure. Before running the client, it
is time to observe another feature of proxy services. That is displaying
the published WSDL. Just open a web browser and point it to the address
http://localhost:8280/services/StockQuoteProxy?wsdl. You will see the
sample_proxy_1.wsdl specified in the configuration but containing the
correct EPR for the service over HTTP/S.
</p>
<h4>
Run the Client
</h4>
<p>
Now it is time to see it in action. Go to the &lt;synapse-home&gt;/samples/axis2Clients
directory and type the following command:
</p>
<div class="command">
ant stockquote -Dtrpurl=http://localhost:8280/services/StockQuoteProxy
-Dmode=quote -Dsymbol=IBM
</div>
<p>
The above command sends a stockquote request directly to the provided
transport endpoint at: http://localhost:8280/services/StockQuoteProxy. You
will see the response from the server displayed on the console as follows:
</p>
<div class="consoleOutput">Standard :: Stock price = $165.32687331383468</div>
<p>
This quick guide illustrates the simple use case of proxy services. Please
refer to samples #150 and above in the Samples guide, for in depth
coverage of more advanced use cases.
</p>
<p>
Yes, you are done with a quick look at Synapse. Now it is time to go
deeper and reveal the advanced features of Synapse. You can browse through
the samples for your interested areas. If you have any issue regarding
Synapse as a user, feel free ask it in the Synapse user mailing list
(<a href="http://synapse.apache.org/mail-lists.html">http://synapse.apache.org/mail-lists.html</a>).
