Introducing ‘Cloud Connectors’

11. WSO2 ESB – Cloud Connectors
• The foundation of ‘Cloud to Cloud’
and ‘Cloud to Enterprise’
Integration
• Connecting disparate Cloud APIs,
mobile and on-premise systems

12. WSO2 ESB – Cloud Connectors
• ‘Cloud to Cloud’ Integration

13. WSO2 ESB – Cloud Connectors
• ‘Cloud to Enterprise’ Integration

14. Cloud Connector Architecture
• A cloud connector simplifies the
invocation of any cloud api and hides
all the low level invocation details.
• Self Contained and independent from
ESB code
• Can be dynamically plug in to ESB
• Can be implemented with
●
●
●
ESB config language(as templates)
an existing Java Library
Java Script

15. Cloud Connector Architecture
• Dynamic ESB Configuration
<salesforce.config>
<username>kasun147@gmail.com</username>
<password>{wso2:vault-lookup('kasun.sf.pwd')}</password>
<loginUrl>https://login.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/27.0</loginUrl>
</salesforce.config>
Template name
onnector name
<salesforce.query>
Param list
<batchSize>200</batchSize>
<queryString>select Account.Name,Opportunity.Name, Amount from
Opportunity</queryString>
</salesforce.query>
<log level="full"/>

16. Cloud Connector Architecture
• Dynamic Tooling Support

17. Cloud Connectors – Use Cases
• Salesforce + Twilio – Lead Generation

18. Cloud Connectors – Use Cases
• Salesforce + Google Spread Sheet –
Opportunity Management

19. Cloud Connectors – Use Cases
• Salesforce + JIRA + Twilio – Support
Account Management

20. Cloud Connectors – Use Cases
• Twitter + Salesforce – Lead Monitor

21. RESTful Integration made easy
• Comprehensive RESTful Integration
support
●
●
Nouns and Verbs – HTTP Endpoint, Header
Mediator
Data Formats – Payload Factory (XML/JSON)
source:
http://www.ansoncheunghk.info/article/web-apis-resource-oriented-architecture

22. Better JSON Support
• JSON Transformations
●
Payload Factory supports all possible combinations
of JSON and XML transformations
 JSON CBR
 High Performance JSON parsing

23. Message Mediation Enhancements
• Call Mediator
●
●
●
●
Blocking service calls on top of non-blocking HTTP
transport
Simplifies the Service Orchestration scenarios
Used in Cloud Connectors
Equivalent performance to the Send Mediator
 Respond and LoopBack Mediators

24. Store and Forward
• Complete Revamp of Message Store
and Processors
●
●
●
Multiple Consumers (Processors) for a given store
Guaranteed Delivery for RESTful Integration
Supports security, sampling and error codes
