True Filter

Contents

Overview

You can use the True filter to force a path in a policy to return true. For example, this can be useful in cases where you want to prevent a path from ending on a false case and consequently throwing an exception.

The following policy parses the HTTP request, and then runs Attachment1 on the message. If Attachment1 passes, the message is echoed back to the client by the Reflect filter. However, if Attachment1 fails, the Attachment2 filter is run on the message. Because this is an end node, if this filter fails, an exception is thrown.

By adding a True filter to the Attachment2 filter, this path always ends on a true case, and so does not throw an exception if Attachment2 fails.
