Here is the list of the generic properties.

Property: synapse.isresponse

Name

synapse.isresponse

Possible Values

"true", "false"

Default Behavior

none

Scope

axis2

Description

Once this property is set to 'true" on a message, the ESB will start treating it as a response message. It is generally used to route a request message back to its source as the response.

Example 

<property name="synapse.isresponse" value="true" scope="axis2"/>
Property: PRESERVE_WS_ADDRESSING

Name

PRESERVE_WS_ADDRESSING

Possible Values

"true", "false"

Default Behavior

none

Scope

synapse

Description

By default, the ESB adds a new set of WS-Addressing headers to the messages forwarded from the ESB. If this property is set to "true" on a message, the ESB will forward it without altering its existing WS-Addressing headers.

Example 

<property name="PRESERVE_WS_ADDRESSING" value="true"/>
Property: RESPONSE

Name

RESPONSE

Possible Values

"true", "false"

Default Behavior

none

Scope

synapse

Description

The same as synapse.isresponse property. It is recommended to use this property to flag messages as responses instead of the synapse.isresponse property.

Example 

<property name="RESPONSE" value="true"/>
Property: OUT_ONLY

Name

OUT_ONLY

Possible Values

"true", "false"

Default Behavior

none

Scope

synapse

Description

Set this property to "true" on a message to indicate that no response message is expected for it once it is forwarded from the ESB. In other words, the ESB will do an out-only invocation with such messages. It is very important to set this property on messages that are involved in out-only invocations to prevent the ESB from registering unnecessary callbacks for response handling and eventually running out of memory.

Example 

<property name="OUT_ONLY" value="true"/>
Property: ERROR_CODE

Name

ERROR_CODE

Possible Values

string

Default Behavior

none

Scope

synapse

Description

Use this property to set a custom error code on a message which can be later processed by a Synapse fault handler. If the Synapse encounters an error during mediation or routing, this property will be automatically populated.

Example 

<property name="ERROR_CODE" value="100100"/>
Property: ERROR_MESSAGE

Name

ERROR_MESSAGE

Possible Values

string

Default Behavior

none

Scope

synapse

Description

Use this property to set a custom error message on a message which can be later processed by a Synapse fault handler. If the Synapse encounters an error during mediation or routing, this property will be automatically populated.

Example 

<log level="custom">
 <property name="Cause" value="get-property('ERROR_MESSAGE')"/>
</log>
Property: ERROR_DETAIL

Name

ERROR_DETAIL

Possible Values

string

Default Behavior

none

Scope

synapse

Description

Use this property to set the exception stacktrace in case of an error. If the ESB encounters an error during mediation or routing, this property will be automatically populated.

Example 

<log level="custom">
 <property name="Trace" value="get-property('ERROR_DETAIL')"/>
</log>
Property: ERROR_EXCEPTION

Name

ERROR_EXCEPTION

Possible Values

java.lang.Exception

Default Behavior

none

Scope

synapse

Description

Contains the actual exception thrown in case of a runtime error.

Property: TRANSPORT_HEADERS

Name

TRANSPORT_HEADERS

Possible Values

java.util.Map

Default Behavior

Populated with the transport headers of the incoming request.

Scope

axis2

Description

Contains the map of transport headers. Automatically populated. Individual values of this map can be accessed using the property mediator in the transport scope.

Example 

<property name="TRANSPORT_HEADERS" action="remove" scope="axis2"/>
Property: messageType

Name

messageType

Possible Values

string

Default Behavior

Content type of incoming request.

Scope

axis2

Description

Message formatter is selected based on this property. This property should have the content type i.e. text/xml, application/xml.

Example 

<property name="messageType" value="text/xml" scope="axis2"/>
Property: ContentType

Name

ContentType

Possible Values

string

Default Behavior

Value of the Content-type header of the incoming request.

Scope

axis2

Description

Message builder is selected based on this property. This property should specify the content type.

Example 

<property name="ContentType" value="text/xml" scope="axis2"/>
Property: disableAddressingForOutMessages

Name

disableAddressingForOutMessages

Possible Values

"true", "false"

Default Behavior

false

Scope

axis2

Description

Set this property to "true" if you do not want the ESB to add WS-Addressing headers to outgoing messages. This property can affect messages sent to backend services as well as the responses routed back to clients.

Example 

<property name="disableAddressingForOutMessages" value="true" scope="axis2"/>
Property: transportNonBlocking

Name

transportNonBlocking

Possible Values

"true", "false"

Default Behavior

true

Scope

axis2

Description

By default, Axis2 will spawn a new thread to handle each outgoing message. To change this behavior, remove this property from the message. Removal of this property could be vital when queuing transports like JMS are involved.

Example 

<property name="transportNonBlocking" action="remove" scope="axis2" value="true"/>
Property: endpoint.operation

Name

endpoint.operation

Possible Values

string

Default Behavior

none

Scope

synapse

Description

If this property is set, endpoint statistics will be calculated for the specified operation.

Example 

<property name="endpoint.operation" scope="axis2" value="OperationName"/>
