Using wso2 esb multipart /form data

Question

In wso2 ESB when multipart/formdata request comes for ESB API I want to first store the request and then afterwards I want to use that property.

Below is the API code.

<api context="/multi" name="multi" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
    <resource methods="POST">
        <inSequence>
<property name="messageType" scope="axis2" type="STRING" value="application/json"/>
            <property name="ContentType" scope="axis2" type="STRING" value="application/json"/>
<property name="messageType" scope="axis2" type="STRING" value="multipart/form-data"/>
            <property name="ContentType" scope="axis2" type="STRING" value="multipart/form-data"/>
            <respond/>
</inSequence>
        <outSequence>
            <send/>
        </outSequence>
        <faultSequence/>
    </resource>
</api>

Request:
key : file  value:image
key : json  value:{"a":"b"}

Response i'm getting is correct:

--MIMEBoundary_9e01467992befaaccfd1aa25f3e48a26d18d37e547e64c30
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="file.png"
Content-Type: image/png; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
--MIMEBoundary_9e01467992befaaccfd1aa25f3e48a26d18d37e547e64c30
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="json"
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

{ "a":"b"}
--MIMEBoundary_9e01467992befaaccfd1aa25f3e48a26d18d37e547e64c30--

But as I wanted to process the property mediator having json payload of multipart request to use afterwards and convert to multipart format, so if I use below API code I' getting wrong response.

<api context="/multi" name="multi" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
        <resource methods="POST">
            <inSequence>
    <property name="messageType" scope="axis2" type="STRING" value="application/json"/>
                <property name="ContentType" scope="axis2" type="STRING" value="application/json"/>
 <property expression="json-eval($.)" name="inputPayLoad" scope="default" type="STRING"/>
<script language="js"><![CDATA[var rp = mc.getProperty("inputPayLoad");
        mc.setPayloadJSON(rp);]]></script>
    <property name="messageType" scope="axis2" type="STRING" value="multipart/form-data"/>
                <property name="ContentType" scope="axis2" type="STRING" value="multipart/form-data"/>
                <respond/>
    </inSequence>
            <outSequence>
                <send/>
            </outSequence>
            <faultSequence/>
        </resource>
    </api>

But response I'm getting is

--MIMEBoundary_9e01467992befaacae1a7a25f3e48a26818d37e547e64c30
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="mediate"
Content-Type: application/xml; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

<mediate><file>iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAMgAAADICAIAAAAiOj........./file><json>{ "a":"b"}</json></mediate>
--MIMEBoundary_9e01467992befaacae1a7a25f3e48a26818d37e547e64c30--

There is a difference between two response, but both the request before converting to multipart/formdata format(property mediator) are same like

{
"mediate":{
"file":"dksad..",
"json":"{"a":"b"}"
}
}

But I am not understanding why ESB is giving different response for same request(json) before converting to multipart.

The Response which you are getting is base64 Encoded, can you decode it by using base64 decoder and see the response
