CSV files provide an easy way of storing simple tabular data. Follow the instructions below to create a data service using a sample CSV file as the data source.
You can find the sample CSV file we discuss here in here: DSS_HOME/samples/resources/Products.csv. It contains information on products manufactured in an automobile company. The sample table has ID, Name, Classification and Price as columns.
First, copy the JDBC driver to:
- DSS_HOME/repository/components/lib directory
- DSS_HOME/repository/components/dropins
For example, cp mysql-connector-java-5.XX-bin.jar /home/user/wso2ds/wso2-dataservices-XX/repository/components/lib.
1. Log on to the Data Services Server Management Console.
2. Click the "Main" tab and select the "Create" link under "Data Services."
3. The "Create Data Service" page appears. Fill in the fields and click "Next." The Data Service name is mandatory.
Info:
For more information on Advanced Configurations in creating data services, refer to the Transaction Handling section.
4. The "Data Sources" page appears. Click on the "Add New Data Source" link and add your Data Source details. Then click "Save."

5. After saving, the added data source page appears. You can edit or delete the Data Source. To proceed click "Next."
6. The "Queries" page appears.
Initially your service does not include any queries. Click on 'Add New Query' to add a new query, input/output mappings, events etc. to your Data Service. Enter query details using which values will be extracted. Specify how the SQL response is mapped to output XML.
Example 1:
Query ID : customersInBostonSQL
SQL Statement : select *, from Customers where city = 'Boston' and country ='USA'
Example 2:
Query ID : customerAddressSQL
SQL Statement : select *, from Customers where contactLastName = ? and contactFirstName = ?
The following query needs two parameters for execution. The Input Mapping section is used to specify these input parameters.
7. Once a new query is added, it will be listed as follows:
You have added one query to your data service configuration.
You can edit or delete your query. To continue, click "Next."
8. The "Operations" page appears. Click the "Add new operation" link to create an operation. Select a query to be executed when this operation is called.
Click "Save" once done. For example,
