Creating a Message Processor

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

Before you begin

• You need to have WSO2 EI tooling installed to create a new message processor or to import an existing message processor via EI tooling. For instructions on installing WSO2 EI tooling, see Installing Enterprise Integrator Tooling.
• Be sure to create the message store before creating the message processor, as you will need to specify the message store that this processor applies to.

Creating a message processor

Follow these steps to create a new message processor. Alternatively, you can import an existing message processor.

1. In Eclipse, click the Developer Studio menu and then click Open Dashboard. This opens the Developer Studio Dashboard.
2. Click Message Processor on the Developer Studio Dashboard.
3. Leave the first option selected and click Next.
4. Type a unique name for this message processor, specify the type of processor you're creating, specify the message store this processor applies to, and then specify values for the other fields required to create the processor type you selected. 
5. Do one of the following:
   
   • To save the message processor in an existing EI Config project in your workspace, click Browse and select that project.
   • To save the message processor in a new EI Config project, click Create a new EI Project and create the new project.
6. Click Finish. The message processor is created in the src/main/synapse-config/message-processors folder under the EI Config project you specified and appears in the editor. You can click its icon in the editor to view its properties.

Importing a message processor

Follow these steps to import an existing message processor into an EI Config project. Alternatively, you can create a new message processor.

1. In Eclipse, click the Developer Studio menu and then click Open Dashboard. This opens the Developer Studio Dashboard.
2. Click Message Processor on the Developer Studio Dashboard.
3. Select Import a Message Processor and click Next.
4. Specify the XML file that defines the message processor by typing its full path name or clicking Browse and navigating to the file.
5. In the Save In field, specify an existing EI Config project in your workspace where you want to save the message processor, or click Create new Project to create a new EI Config project and save the message processor configuration there.
6. Click Finish. The message processor is created in the src/main/synapse-config/message-processors folder under the EI Config project you specified and appears in the editor.
