The API manager Manager binary distribution comes with a number of samples which demonstrate its to demonstrate the API Manager's basic functionality. These samples are located in <PRODUCT_HOME>/samples folder. Inside this directory, you will find sub directories for each sample. Each sub directory contains the relevant configurations, scripts and instructions required to run the relevant sample. Each sample contains an APIPopulator script, which drives the API Manager via a REST API.

By default, the samples installation uses the admin user to create samples.

Before running the samples, ensure that the following are available:

  • JDK 1.6.0_23 or higher and Apache ANT 1.7 or higher installed as mentioned in the product Installation Prerequisites section.
  • A An HTTP client tool such as cURL (http://curl.haxx.se/)
  • A JavaScript compatible web browser
  • An active Internet connection

Configuring Libraries

...

Follow the instructions below to run any selected sample.

1. Download and install the API Manager according to the instructions given in the Installation Guide. Note that JDK 1.6.0_23 or higher and Apache ANT 1.7 or higher should be installed as mentioned in the Installation Prerequisites section.

2. Your need to configure various libraries before installing examples. To do this, you must run ant inside ant by typing "ant" from the <PRODUCT_HOME>/bin directory.

Installing the samples

To install the samples as the admin user:

1. Make sure the API manager is started.

2. Execute the APIPopulator.sh (for Linux) or APIPopulator.bat (for Windows) script for each sample.

Starting and Stopping the API Gateway

 

Download and install the API Manager using instructions given in section Installation Guide. Next,

1. Open a command line window

2. Go to wso2am-1.0.0/bin

3. Start wso2server.bat (for Windows) or wso2server.sh (for Linux)

4. Wait until you see the message:

Code Block
[2012-06-20 14:47:16,905] INFO - StartupFinalizerServiceComponent Server : WSO2
API Manager-1.0.0-ALPHA

3. Start the API Manager according to the instructions given in section Running the API Manager. This will populate master data required for the server to start up. 

4. Next, shut down the API Manager and run 'ant' inside <PRODUCT_HOME>/samples/Data directory.

titleNote

It is necessary to shut down the server before running ant in this case.

5. You will see an output similar to following.

It executes the UserPopulator.sql which creates two user accounts as "provider1" and "subscriber1", which can be used to log-in to the API Publisher and API Store respectively.

6. Start the WSO2 API Manager again and log in to the API Publisher (http://localhost:9763/publisher) using username/password as provider1/provider1. Similarly, you should be able to log in to the API Store (https://localhost:9443/store) using username/password as subscriber1/subscriber1.

This basic setup needs to be performed only once for a single API Manager installation. If you want to try multiple samples on the same installation, performing the above procedure once is sufficient.
