Injecting the message to a named sequence or proxy service
...
By default, the message is sent to the Main sequence. To send it to a different sequence or to a proxy service, set the injectTo property to sequence or proxy, and then add the sequenceName or proxyName property to specify the name of the sequence or proxy service to use. For example:
...
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
<task name="SampleInjectToProxyTask"
class="org.apache.synapse.startup.tasks.MessageInjector"
group="synapse.simple.quartz">
<trigger count="2" interval="5"/>
<property xmlns:task="http://www.wso2.org/products/wso2commons/tasks" name="message">
<m0:getQuote xmlns:m0="http://services.samples">
<m0:request>
<m0:symbol>IBM</m0:symbol>
</m0:request>
</m0:getQuote>
</property>
<property xmlns:task="http://www.wso2.org/products/wso2commons/tasks"
name="proxyName"
value="SampleProxy"/>
<property xmlns:task="http://www.wso2.org/products/wso2commons/tasks"
name="injectTo"
value="proxy"/>
</task> |
