HTTP urlReplacement Element

The urlReplacement element indicates that all the message parts are encoded into the HTTP request URI using a replacement algorithm:

• The relative URI value of http:operation is searched for a set of search patterns.

• The search occurs before the value of the http:operation is combined with the value of the location attribute from http:address.

• There is one search pattern for each message part. The search pattern string is the name of the message part surrounded with parenthesis "(" and ")".

• For each match, the value of the corresponding message part is substituted for the match at the location of the match

• Matches are performed before any values are replaced. Replaced values do not trigger additional matches.

Message parts must not have repeating values.

Example:

<definitions .... >
    <binding .... >
        <operation .... >
           <input .... >
               <http:urlReplacement/>
           </input>
           <output .... >
               <-- mime elements -->
           </output>
        </operation>
    </binding>
</definitions>
