serviceProxy

A service proxy can be deployed on front of a Web server, Web Service or a REST resource. It conceals the server and offers the same interface as the target server to its clients.

Can be used in:

Syntax

<serviceProxy name="string"
  port="integer"
  method="[*,POST,PUT,GET,DELETE,TRACE,OPTIONS]"
  host="[string,*]"
  blockRequest="[true,false]"
  blockResponse="[true,false]"
  ip="[ip]">
  <path />?
  <ssl />?
  <request>
    [interceptors]*
  </request>
    [interceptors]*
  <response>
	[interceptors]*
  </response>
  <localhost />?
  <target />?
</serviceProxy>

Sample

<serviceProxy port="80">
  <response>
    <transform xslt="customer2person.xsl" />
  </response>
  <target host="www.thomas-bayer.com" port="80" />
</serviceProxy>

Elements	Description	Cardinality
path	If set, Membrane will only consider this rule, if the path of incoming HTTP requests matches. {@link Path} supports starts-with and regex matching. If used in a {@link SOAPProxy}, this causes path rewriting of SOAP requests and in the WSDL to automatically be configured.	0..1
ssl	Configures the usage of inbound SSL (HTTPS).	0..1
target		0..1
