Logs are an essential part of troubleshooting applications. Logs help us to get an understanding of how our applications are running various infrastructure components, various scenarios, etc. So adding proper logs to your spring application will help you,
In this blog, I will explain how to use log4j2 in your spring boot application. For this article, I will use the artifacts from my previous blog.
As per my previous blog, when…
Spring is an open-source JAVA application framework that lets you write enterprise java applications. Spring boot is basically a quick way for you to startup a spring application. Spring enables you to write very complex applications in a matter of minutes. I will not go deep into Spring and spring boot applications, instead, I will just dive into the application.
Following are the prerequisites for this tutorial.
First, let’s go ahead and create a maven project. …
WSO2 Identity Server (IS)can send different notifications to users based on different scenarios. For example, Self-Registration Confirmation notifications, Username, and Password Recovery notifications, Account Locked/Unlocked notifications. WSO2 IS is highly configurable to our own wish. So if I want to send a notification when a user account is deleted I can do it easily.

Let's consider the User-Self Registration…
WSO2 Identity Server 5.10.0 introduced new feature support to notifications sending to the user via a user-preferred channel. In other words, the user can decide whether to receive notifications to his email or to the mobile. According to this feature, a notification channel has three attributes.
For example, the EMAIL channel has the following attributes
Type: EMAIL
Value Claim: http://wso2.org/claims/emailaddress
Verified Claim: http://wso2.org/claims/identity/emailVerified
Therefore the notification channel selection will happen according to the values of the above claims. Let me tell you how this happens in different flows. …
The latest release of WSO2 Identity Server 5.10.0 and the latest WUM version of WSO2 IS 5.7.0 supports notifications via both the EMAIL channel and the SMS channel. This feature is available in improved User Self-Registration API and new Username and Password Recovery APIs.
If you are using IS 5.10.0, all the default templates are packed to the product by default. If you are using IS 5.7.0, you have to manually add the templates to the registry.
NOTE: Adding and editing SMS templates via the config file is only available in IS 5.10.0 and onwards.
I hope you are excited and eagerly waiting to write some really cool and interesting codes. But the sad story is that you’ll spend much more time over the course of your career maintaining code than you will be writing new code.
Yes, that’s the ugly truth. So, the quality of the codes is very important to us. Error-free code is like gold cus it would make our life much easier. Look at the guy in the meme. Do you want to be that guy? No right? …
