[WSO2 ESB] Sending Form Data through WSO2 ESB with x-www-form-urlencoded content type

This post is about how to post form data into a REST service from WSO2 ESB 4.8.1.
Imagine that we have the following key values pairs to be passed into a REST service  which accepts x-www-form-urlencoded type data.

name=ishara&company=wso2&country=srilanka

Now when we going to send these data into ESB, it is needed to set them as key values pairs through adding a PayloadFactory mediator in the following format.  

<property name="name" value="ishara" scope="default" type="STRING"/>
<property name="company" value="wso2" scope="default" type="STRING"/>/>
<property name="country" value="srilanka" scope="default" type="STRING"/>/>
            
<payloadFactory media-type="xml">
                <format>
                    <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
                        <soapenv:Body>
                            <root>
                                <name>$1</name>
                                <company>$2</company>
                                <country>$3</country>                               
                            </root>
                        </soapenv:Body>
                    </soapenv:Envelope>
                </format>
                <args>
                    <arg evaluator="xml" expression="$ctx:name"/>
                    <arg evaluator="xml" expression="$ctx:company"/>
                    <arg evaluator="xml" expression="$ctx:country"/>
               </args> 
</payloadFactory>           

Then set the messageType property as 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'. This is how ESB can identify these key-value pairs as form data and it will do the transformations. Then it is also required to disable chunking too.
            
<property name="messageType" value="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" scope="axis2" type="STRING"/>
<property name="DISABLE_CHUNKING" value="true" scope="axis2" type="STRING"/>
                       
Now we are all set to call the REST endpoint with this message data as below. You can use either send or a call mediator.

<call>
   <endpoint key="conf:endpoints/EmployeeDataServiceEndpoint.xml"/>
</call>
