Sample configuration
Following is a sample proxy service that illustrates how to connect to Facebook with the init operation and use createLike. The sample request for this proxy can be found in createLike sample request. You can use this sample as a template for using other operations in this category.
As a best practice, create a separate sequence for handling the response payload for errors. In the following sample, this sequence is "faultHandlerSeq".
<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
name="facebook_createLike"
transports="https,http"
statistics="disable"
trace="disable"
startOnLoad="true">
<target>
<inSequence onError="faultHandlerSeq">
<property name="apiUrl" expression="json-eval($.apiUrl)"/>
<property name="apiVersion" expression="json-eval($.apiVersion)"/>
<property name="accessToken" expression="json-eval($.accessToken)"/>
<property name="resourceId" expression="json-eval($.resourceId)"/>
<facebook.init>
<apiUrl>{$ctx:apiUrl}</apiUrl>
<apiVersion>{$ctx:apiVersion}</apiVersion>
<accessToken>{$ctx:accessToken}</accessToken>
</facebook.init>
<facebook.createLike>
<resourceId>{$ctx:resourceId}</resourceId>
</facebook.createLike>
