After we creating the project inside eclipse we can run the application even through command line, if you have installed Apache Maven in to you PC.

For that you have to open commandline and go to the project directory thorugh command line and execute the mvn commands such as mvn clean, mvn install, etc.

ex: %testapp> mvn install

thanks for the post. this seems to be a bit eclipse specific. i found a console version of this here: http://united-coders.com/phillip-steffensen/maven-2-part-1-setting-up-a-simple-apache-maven-2-project

i think it does the job, if you're for you, if you're not an eclipse user.

thanks.

Integrate With Mutual Certificate Authentication based Service

There are many ways to secure a Service/API using different Authentication mechanisms. Mutual Certificate authentication(AKA: Client Certificate Authentication) is one of the ways to secure Service or API. Recently I was trying to integrate with an API which is secured using Mutual Certificate Authentication. In this scenario, the backend service team gave me their certificate-based on PKCS#12. When integrating this backend system with WSO2 Platform, we have to use 'Multi-HTTPS transport'. With this 'Multi-HTTPS transport', it will grant great flexibility to define different SSL profiles with separate trust stores and key stores for different IPs or hosts. This custom SSL profile can be implemented for Client to Synapse Runtime(Client --> ESB) or Synapse Runtime to Backend(ESB --> Backend). If it is Client to ESB, then you have to define custom SSL Profiles in the transportReceiver section. In my use-case, it was for ESB to Backend. So I had to add custom SSL prof
