You can create a new template or import an existing template from the file system using WSO2 EI tooling. 

You need to have WSO2 EI tooling installed to create a new template or to import an existing template via tooling. For instructions on installing WSO2 EI tooling, see Installing Enterprise Integrator Tooling.

Creating a template

Follow these steps to create a new scheduled task. Alternatively, you can import an existing template.

  1. In Eclipse, click the Developer Studio menu and then click Open Dashboard. This opens the Developer Studio Dashboard.
  2. Click Template on the Developer Studio Dashboard.
  3. Leave the first option selected and click Next.
  4. Type a unique name for the template and specify the type of template you are creating.
  5. Do one of the following:
    • To save the template in an existing ESB Config project in your workspace, click Browse and select that project.
    • To save the template in a new ESB Config project, click Create new Project and create the new project.
  6. If you specified an address or WSDL endpoint as the template type, enter the URL for the address or the WSDL URI and connection information in the Advanced Configuration fields.
  7. Click Finish. The template is created in the src/main/synapse-config/templates folder under the ESB Config project you specified. When prompted, you can open the file in the editor, or you can right-click the template in the project explorer and click Open With > ESB Editor. Click its icon in the editor to view its properties.

Importing a template

Follow these steps to import an existing template into an ESB Config project. Alternatively, you can create a new template.

  1. In Eclipse, click the Developer Studio menu and then click Open Dashboard. This opens the Developer Studio Dashboard.
  2. Click Template on the Developer Studio Dashboard.
  3. Select Import a Template and click Next.
  4. Specify the XML file that defines the template by typing its full path name or clicking Browse and navigating to the file.
  5. In the Save Template In field, specify an existing ESB Config project in your workspace where you want to save the template, or click Create new Project to create a new ESB Config project and save the template configuration there.
  6. If there are multiple template definitions in the file, click Create ESB Artifacts, and then select the templates you want to import.
  7. Click Finish. The templates you selected are created in the subfolders of the src/main/synapse-config/templates folder under the ESB Config project you specified, and the first template appears in the editor.
