How to pass URI as parameter into worklight adapters - ibm-mobilefirst

I am looking to pass the URI as parameter to a worklight adapter that converts the JSON to a SOAP request. Unfortunately I could not pass the URI since it has some chunks of data. Is there another way I can pass the long string with special characters as parameter to an adapter?
URL to hit the adapter: https://hostname:port/worklight/invoke?adapter=adaptername&procedure=procdurename&parameters=["URI with special characters"]
Error Output:
{"errors":["I O: String not terminated on line 1, column 15"],"isSuccessful":false,"warnings":[],"info":[]}

in worklight.properties add the the URI like
URI=URI-Value
Example:
LOGINHELPCONTENTURLEN = /wps/wcm/connect/GRS-EnglishLibrary/......
In your Adapter JS:
var uri = WL.Server.configuration["URI"];
In your invocation:
https://hostname:port/worklight/invoke?adapter=adaptername&procedure=procdurename&parameters=[uri]

Mule 4: uriParams size is showing as 0 even though it is there

So I created a endpoint inside the raml file such as:
/proxy:
/{proxyDestinationTarget}:
uriParameters:
proxyDestinationTarget:
type: string
example: "myurl.com"
post:
description: Pass through operation that targets IAA
is: [client-credentials-required,standard-error-responses,traceHeaders]
and then inside of the logic.xml in my variable component I have
attributes.uriParams.'proxyDestinationTarget'
when I send the request in postman and debug i am getting a uriParams size of 0
the url i entered in postman is
https://localhost:8092/proxy/uat.something.somethingElse.com/Assign/Assignment.svc
but if i send a request like this :
https://localhost:8092/proxy/uat.something.somethingElse.com
I get a uriParam size = 1 which is what I want. I guess the / is whats causing the problem. how can I pass url as uri param with escape characters???
It looks like you are not sending an URL that matches the RAML definition in the first case.
For the URL:
https://localhost:8092/proxy/uat.something.somethingElse.com/Assign/Assignment.svc
The RAML defined that the API should expect /proxy/{proxyDestinationTarget} but it is receiving something like /proxy/{proxyDestinationTarget}/Assign/Assignment.svc, where {proxyDestinationTarget} is uat.something.somethingElse.com, but nothing matches /Assign/Assignment.svc. The API should include those two last components too to match. It is not escaping them, they probably need to be defined.

Call to java script code returning the ASCII encoding for ':' separating key and value of returned object

I making an api request using karate where one of the api request params takes a filter condition (which is a java script object).
I am using a literal notation to create a java script object as shown below. This code is in a separate filter.js file.
function() {
var params = {
val1:[],
val2:[]
};
return params;
}
Now i call the above .js file in the karate scenario as below:
Scenario: Test
Given path 'filtertest/'
* param filter = call read('classpath:feature/common/filter/filter.js')
When method get
Ran the above and when i check the log, the api throws bad request error. I looked at the request url and there i can see that the ':' in the js file where I am assigning a value to a object key is replaced with %3A which i believe is the ASCII encoding for ':'. (the param with its values below)
?filter=%7B%22val1%22%3A%5B%5D%2C%22val2%22%3A%5B%5D
What I want is the ':' to come as it is from the .js call as the server side expects the filter param values as key value pairs.
Is there a way I can achieve this?
If your server cannot decode an encoded : it is a bug: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp
If you really need this - the workaround is to use the url keyword and build it manually, path and param will always encode.
Given url baseUrl + '/filtertest?filter=foo:bar'

Extract report results with CloudConnect

I would like to extract raw report results within the CloudConnect process.
So far I have managed to get response from the raw report API end point - https://secure.gooddata.com/gdc/app/projects/{project_id}/execute/raw/
This response contains URI to the file and if I put that URI to browser, file is uploaded.
I have tried passing this URI to the following readers without success:
CSV Reader produces the following error:
------------------- Error details ------------------
Component [CSV Reader:CSV_READER] finished with status ERROR.
Parsing error: Unexpected end of file in record 1, field 1 ("date"),
metadata "outOfStock";
value: Raw record data is not available, please turn on verbose mode.
File Download - I don't know how to pass the URI through the port to "URL to Downlaod" parameter.
HTTP Connector again I don't see how to pass URI from the port.
What is the way to do this?
EDIT
If I use the HTTP Connector as suggested by #Filip, I get the following error:
Error details:
Component [HTTP connector:HTTP_CONNECTOR] finished with status ERROR. hostname in
certificate didn't match: xxx.com != secure.gooddata.com OR secure.gooddata.com
I have tried setting header to X-GDC-CHECK-DOMAIN: false with no effect.
The HTTP connector is the right component to go with. Leave the URL property empty and use the component’s property called “Input mapping”, where in the graphic editor you can assign the input edge field to the URL field.
Solution from GoodData support:
HTTP connector can be also used, but it is very complex, because
logging in to GoodData has to be created. REST connector has it built
in.
If you want to run the example graph, you have to be logged in in
CloudConnect with a user who has access to the project from where you
would like to export the report. You also have to change URL to
the one of white-labeled account in both REST connector components and change project
and report definition in the first REST connector.
So the graph that works looks like this:
Here are the main fields that you will need to set for each element:
Get Results URI - set params for POST request:
Request URL = https://secure.gooddata.com/gdc/app/projects/${GDC_PROJECT_ID}/execute/raw/
Request Body =
{
"report_req": {
"reportDefinition": "gdc/md/${GDC_PROJECT_ID}/obj/${OBJECT_ID}"
}
}
Get URI from Response - just map uri value to corresponding field:
<Mapping cloverField="uri" xpath="uri"/>
Load Results - make sure it is connected to metadata with two fields, one for response with data, other to pass through the uri.
Load Results - you will need to exclude uri field to process the data:
Exclude Fields = uri

mule multi language data transfer support via http

I wanna help in achieving below mule use-case.Mule flow contains http-inbound-endpoint and object-string transformer(optional) and logger which prints the payload.
Requirement is that i am invoking flow with rest client with a json string
{
"name":"ساختبار",
"age":"25"
}
in the json string name can of different language for example Arabic language string.
I tried with same implementation with sample json string with name defined in Arabic input string from rest client.But while checking the logger output prints
{
"name":"???????",
"age":"25"
}
instead of actual input.
How i can get the actual Arabic or any language input string printed in logger.
As per forum, set the correct Eclipse console encoding following these instructions and set the appropiate encoding on your endpoints.

after receiving soap response modify xml and send to anther service using http adapter

while using http adapter I need to call first service that return XML,
after receiving the response I want to change values and send back to anther service,
how can I do it ?
do http adapter has json to xml function ?
WL adapter will automatically convert XML to JSON for you, however it doesn't have any manual JSON<->XML conversion APIs.
In your case possible solution might be to retrieve XML as plaintext by supplying returnedContentType:"plain" in invocation options. Alter whatever you need using regex/string replace. Use resulting string in 2nd procedure invocation as post body.
Alternatively, you can use 3rd party library to parse/convert/do whatever you need with XML, e.g. http://www.json.org/java/ (more info about how to use it in your adapter - http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/mobile-solutions/worklight/docs/v506/04_08_Using_Java_in_adapters.pdf)
After checking number of solutions, I state the the http result will be a plain text,
then made a call to java function sending the xml as String, and used
javax.xml to hold and alter the XML.
XPath to retrieve the correct node using org.w3c.dom.*
Hope this will help you too.
