2. It will Direct you to the “New ESB Project” window. Select “ New ESB Config Project”

9. Here I'm going to explain how to create a new issue using JIRA connector . So drag and drop the “Config' and “Create Issue” JIRA operations in to the XML design view and verify the source code is created accordingly for the added JIRA operations by navigating to the “Source” tab.

 

Source View of the above operation should be like this. 

 

10. Now go to the dashboard of the developer studio and select “carbon application project” link to create new carbon application project.

11. Enter the project name and the location of the new carbon application project and click on finish button.

Go to the service dashboard of the created proxy and get the end points of the URI

http://chathurika:8280/services/<proxy>

Invoke the proxy using curl -v http://chathurika:8280/services/<proxy>

The JIRA issue will be created according to the given instructions in the proxy.

For any JIRA operation you can create test data using the Developer studio application and deploy it in ESB as a carbon application . After that you can invoke the created proxy using CURL or SOAPUI.
