Apart from In addition to using the default message builders and formatters that are shipped with  in WSO2 ESB, you have the flexibility to use can create your own custom message builder builders and formatterformatters.

message builder

Let's look at how to create a custom message builder using an example a sample scenario where you need to Base64 encode an XML entry field. In this sample, you retrieve the text content from the payload and then Base64 encode the text. This is then converted to SOAP, and the content is then processed in the ESB mediation flow.

  1. You will first need to write a class implementing the org.apache.axis2.builder.Builder interface in the Axis2 Kernel module

  1. and then override the processDocument

message formatter

Similarly, you can write your own Message Formatters as well, in order message formatter to manipulate the outgoing payload from the ESB.

When creating a custom Message Formattermessage formatter, you will need to create a class implementing the org.apache.axis2.transport.MessageFormatter Interface interface and then override the writeTo method. You can implement your logic within the writeTo method.

Ensure to add Add the following line in the Message Formatters section in the <ESB_HOME/repository/conf/axis2/axis2.xml> file (or <ESB_HOME>/repository/conf/axis2/tenant-axis2.xml if you are working in a multi-tenant environment):
