This tutorial demonstrates how to integrate an external WSO2 API Manager (APIM) 2.0.0 with WSO2 G-Reg 5.3.0.

Introduction

WSO2 G-Reg implementsServices implements services (i.e., SOAP or REST)  as configurable governance artifacts (RXT files),  which you create using the G-Reg Publisher. Usually, you publish a service in WSO2 APIM using the APIM Publisher web interface. Instead, you can integrate WSO2 APIM with WSO2 G-Reg, to directly publish APIs to APIM Publisher using the services deployed in the WSO2 G-Reg. This guide explains how to configure the two products to expose services in the G-Reg as APIs in WSO2 APIM.

Prerequisites

Follow the steps below to set up the required prerequisites before starting the integration.

  1. Download WSO2 Governance Registry (version 5.0.0 and above), and start the server. For instructions on running WSO2 G-Reg, see Running the Product. 

    Tip

    Change the default port of WSO2 G-Reg (e.g. set a port offset of 1), to avoid port conflicts that may arise when running more than one WSO2 products on the same server. For instructions, see Changing the Default Ports with Offset in the WSO2 Administration Guide.

  2. Download WSO2 API Manager (version 1.9.x and above), and start the server.  For instructions on running WSO2 APIM, see see Running the Product.

titleConfiguring to publish multiple (SOAP and REST) service types

 If you have already published a SOAP service and if you want to publish a REST service (or vice versa) in the same G-Reg server, you need to create a new lifecycle and assign the corresponding executor to the artifact type. Follow the steps below to do this.

  1. Log in to the G-Reg Management Console using the following URL and admin/admin credentials:  https://10.100.5.72:9444/carbon
  2. Click Extensions, and then click Lifecycles.
  3. Click the corresponding View/Edit Link of the ServiceLifeCycle.
  4. Copy the configuration in the editor, and click Cancel.
  5. Click Add New Lifecycle.
  6. Paste the configuration you copied in the editor.
  7. Replace the configuration of the executor accordingly as per step 4 in the Configuring WSO2 G-Reg section above.
  8. Change the name of the lifecycle as shown in the example below.
    <aspect name="NewServiceLifeCycle" class="org.wso2.carbon.governance.registry.extensions.aspects.DefaultLifeCycle">
  9. Click Save, and then click Artifact Types in the left navigation menu.
  10. Click the View/Edit link of the Artifact Type to which you need to assign the new lifecycle with the corresponding executor (i.e. soapservice or restservice)
  11. Enter the name of the new lifecycle in the configuration as shown in the example below.
    <lifecycle>NewServiceLifeCycle</lifecycle>
  12. Click Save.

Setting up the service in WSO2 G-Reg

Follow the steps below to create/edit and publish the service, which you need to publish to WSO2 APIM.

  1. Create the service, which you need to publish to WSO2 APIM in WSO2 G-Reg or edit it if it is an existing one. 

    Tip

    When creating the service or editing an existing service, add the same values that you provided for provided for the apim.endpoint parameter (e.g. http://localhost:9763/), and apim.env parameter (e.g. "devDev") in  when configuring the lifecycle executor in  Integrating with an External WSO2 API Manager , for Environments and URL in the Endpoints tab as shown in the example below.  

    define the endpoint

  2. Publish the  service you created or edited to WSO2 APIM Publisher. For instructions, see Managing Life Cycles of Assets.

Invoking the API Published in WSO2 APIM 

Follow the steps below to test the API published in the WSO2 APIM by invoking it.
