In addition to standard XPath functions, the ESB supports the following custom functions for working with XPath expressions:
...
If you provide only the property name without the scope, the default synapse scope will be used.
Synapse scope
When the scope of a property mediator is synapse, its value is available throughout both the in sequence and the out sequence. In addition to the user-defined properties, you can retrieve the following special properties from the synapse scope.
| Name | Return Value |
| To | Incoming URL as a String, or empty string («») if a To address is not defined. |
| From | From address as a String, or empty string («») if a From address is not defined. |
| Action | SOAP Addressing Action header value as a String, or empty string («») if an Action is not defined. |
| FaultTo | SOAP FaultTo header value as a String, or empty string («») if a FaultTo address is not defined. |
| ReplyTo | ReplyTo header value as a String, or empty string («») if a ReplyTo address is not defined. |
| MessageID | A unique identifier (UUID) for the message as a String, or empty string («») if a MessageID is not defined. This ID is guaranteed to be unique. |
| FAULT | TRUE if the message has a fault, or empty string if the message does not have a fault. |
| MESSAGE_FORMAT | Returns pox, get, soap11, or soap12 depending on the message. If a message type is unknown this returns soap12 |
| OperationName | Operation name corresponding to the message. A proxy service with a WSDL can have different operations. If the WSDL is not defined, ESB defines fixed operations. |

public boolean mediate(org.apache.synapse.MessageContext mc) {
// Available in both in-sequence and out-sequenc
String propValue = (String) mc.getProperty("PropName");
System.out.println("SCOPE_SYNAPSE : " + propValue);
return true;
} |
axis2 scope
When the scope of a property mediator is axis2, its value is available only throughout the sequence for which the property is defined (e.g., if you add the property to an in sequence, its value will be available only throughout the in sequence). You can retrieve message context properties within the axis2 scope using the following syntax.
Syntax:get-property('axis2', String propertyName)
...
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
propValue = (String) axis2MsgContext.getOptions().getProperty("PropName");
System.out.println("SCOPE_AXIS2_CLIENT - 2: " + propValue);
return true;
} |
transport scope
When the scope of a property mediator is transport, it will be added to the transport header of the outgoing message from the ESB. You can retrieve message context properties within the transport scope using the following syntax.
Syntax:get-property('transport', String propertyName)
registry scope
You can retrieve properties within the registry using the following syntax.
Syntax:get-property('registry', String registryPath@propertyName)get-property('registry', String registryPath)
system scope
You can retrieve Java System properties using the following syntax.
Syntax:get-property('system', String propertyName)
Note: The system scope is available in WSO2 ESB 4.8.0 and later.
operation scope
You can retrieve a property in the operation context level from the operation scope. The operation scope is used to preserve The properties within iterated/cloned message flows. message with the operation scope are preserved in the in sequence even if you have configured your API resources to be sent through the fault sequence when faults exist. A given property with the operation scope only exists in a single request and can be accessed by a single resource.
Syntax:get-property('operation', String propertyName)
