Using a Connector

When a connector is enabled in your ESB instance, you can access its functionality by adding a reference to it from your ESB configuration (such as in a sequence) and then calling its operations. To see the operations available in a connector, display your list of connectors (on the Main tab of the ESB Management Console, under Connectors click List), and then click the connector name.

For example, if the JIRA connector is enabled in your ESB instance and you want to use it in a sequence, you would add the following entry to your sequence configuration to connect to JIRA:

<jira.init>
    <username>myname@mycompany.com</username>
    <password>{wso2:vault-lookup('xxxx.email.login')}</password>
    <uri>https://xxx:xx/xx</uri>
</jira.init>

Then, if you want to get an issue, you can use the JIRA connector's getIssue operation and pass in the issue ID as follows:

<jira.getIssue [configKey="Ref Local Entry"]>
  <issueIdOrKey>ESBJAVA-2095</issueIdOrKey>
</jira.getIssue>
