WSO2 ESB: Unexpected Character Error when submitting JSON to Proxy Service

votes

I'm attempting to retrieve data from Facebook using the WSO2 Facebook Connector in WSO2 ESB 4.9.0. I've provided the proxy configuration below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
       name="facebook_getFeed"
       transports="https,http"

The issue I'm having is that whenever I make a POST request to the service it times out. Checking the ESB error logs it appears that there was an "Error While building Passthrough stream".

Referring to the proxy configuration above, I've got a log mediator which actually successfully prints the JSON payload, so that would lead me to think it has something to do with the messager formatter?

My message formatter/builder configuration within the Axis2.xml file is as follows:

<!--JSON Message Formatters-->
<messageFormatter contentType="application/json" class="org.apache.synapse.commons.json.JsonStreamFormatter"/>

<!--JSON Message Builders-->
<messageBuilder contentType="application/json" class="org.apache.synapse.commons.json.JsonStreamBuilder"/>

Everything else in this file is as per the default configuration.

What could be going wrong here?

can you share the sample request that you send to the proxy? I didn't try getFeed yet. But I have tried quite few fb operations via the connector. alokayasoya.blogspot.com/2015/12/how-to-use-facebook-connector-with-wso2.html – Thusitha Thilina Dayaratne
@ThusithaThilinaDayaratne please see the revised question for a sample request :) I'm reading through the article you referred to now. Thanks for your help. – Strainy
could you try without fields and check if you you able to get back the response successfulkly – Thusitha Thilina Dayaratne
Can you please enable wire logs as follows and share it with us.Move into $ESB_HOME/repository/logs and locate log4j.properties file. Then un comment following line: log4j.logger.org.apache.synapse.transport.http.wire=DEBUG – Ravindra Ranwala
@ThusithaThilinaDayaratne I've enabled the MessageFormatter and MessageBuilder as per your article. I've also removed the fields component of the request to no avail. – Strainy

Many thanks @RavindraRanwala and @ThusithaThilinaDayaratne for leading me to the resolution of this issue.

After consulting the wire logs, it appears the Facebook API is responding with text/javascript content type. I had no message builder/formatter enabled within the ESB to handle this content type, so the process ended up failing. All I needed to do was open up my axis2.xml configuration file and append the following message builders:

<!--JSON Message Builders-->
<messageBuilder contentType="application/json" class="org.apache.synapse.commons.json.JsonStreamBuilder"/>
<messageBuilder contentType="text/javascript" class="org.apache.synapse.commons.json.JsonStreamBuilder"/>

... and formatters:

<!--JSON Message Formatters-->
<messageFormatter contentType="application/json" class="org.apache.synapse.commons.json.JsonStreamFormatter"/>
<messageFormatter contentType="text/javascript" class="org.apache.synapse.commons.json.JsonStreamFormatter"/>

The most up to date documentation on the Facebook connector seems to be at the GitHub page, where all the necessary builder/formatter information is clarified:
