Description

This sub-element formatter is used into the decoding of client request's parameters in order to create the input for a GreenVulcano® ESB service and to convert the service's output into a HTTP response.

GreenVulcano® ESB Configuration

The GVAdapterHttpConfiguration Element is used by: GVAdapters.

The following table shows the ExtendedInboundParamHandlerFormatter attributes:

Attribute Type Description
type fixed This attribute must keep the value FormatterPlugin.
class fixed Set to it.greenvulcano.gvesb.adapter.http.formatters.handlers.ExtendedInboundParamHandlerFormatter.
ID required Formatter identifier
read-request-header optional If 'true' reads the request HTTP headers and provide them with the request parameters. Default value is false.
ReqCharacterEncoding optional CharacterEncoding to be used to handle requests from external system. Default to UTF-8.
RespCharacterEncoding optional CharacterEncoding to handle responses to the external system. Default to UTF-8.
RespContentType optional ContentType to be declared while handling HTTP responses to the external system. Default to text/html.
HandlePostBodyAsParams optional If true force the POST body to be handled as application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type. Default is false.
ResponseOnError-HTTPCode optional If != -1 force the adapter to respond with the given http code on case of error. Default is -1 (disabled).

ExcludeFields optional The comma separated list of property names to ignore.


DefaultValue

This element represents a plain text value to be assigned as source/target of an handler mapping.


RequestParams

This element contains configuration informations about conversion of the parameters of an inbound http request into a valid GVBuffer object and determination of the communication paradigm to be used by GreenVulcano.

Attribute Type Description
Name required If true the request parameter is mandatory. Possible values are : True, False. Default is True.
Type optional Not used


RequestXMLParamHandler

This element contains configuration informations about an inbound request XML parameter Handler: a Java object used to extract informations from a single parameter of an inbound http request (in the case that this parameter contains an XML string) and use them to populate one or more fields of an GVBuffer request object to be sent to GreenVulcano.

  • OpType


RequestXMLParamMapping

This element contains a mapping between a value extracted by an element or attribute (within XML content of an inbound request parameter) matching a given XPath, and a field of a request GVBuffer object. If mapping target is indicated with the "OpType" keyword, the value is a string indicating the requested communication paradigm (RequestReply, Request, SendReply, GetRequest, GetReply)

Contains the sub-elements:

The following table shows the RequestXMLParamMapping attributes:

Attribute Type Description
ItemType fixed Element type.
XPath required XPath of an element or attribute (within XML content of an inbound request parameter).


RequestFlatParamHandler

This element contains configuration informations about an inbound request Flat parameter Handler: a Java object used to extract informations from a single parameter of an inbound http request (in the case that this parameter contains a Flat string) and use them to populate one or more fields of an GVBuffer request object to be sent to GreenVulcano.

Contains the sub-elements:

The following table shows the RequestFlatParamHandler attributes:

Attribute Type Description

SeparatorChar optional The separator character between fields within the flat string value of this inbound request parameter.


RequestFlatParamMapping

This element contains a mapping between a value extracted from a flat string (the content of an inbound request parameter), and a field of a request GVBuffer object. If mapping target is indicated with the "OpType" keyword, the value is a string indicating the requested communication paradigm (RequestReply, Request, SendReply, GetRequest, GetReply).

Contains the sub-elements:

The following table shows the RequestFlatParamMapping attributes:
