Rewrite URL

Contents

Overview

The Rewrite URL filter is used to specify the path on the remote machine to send the request to. It is usually used in conjunction with a Static Router, whose role is to supply the host and port of the remote service.

Configuration

Configure the following fields on the Rewrite URL filter configuration screen.:

Name:
Enter a name for the filter in the Name field.

URL:
Enter the relative path of the Web Service in the URL field. The Enterprise Gateway will combine the path specified here with the host and port number specified in the Static Router filter in order to build up the complete URL to route to.

Alternatively, it is possible to perform simple URL rewrites by specifying a fully qualified URL into the URL field. A Dynamic Router can then be used to route the message to the specified URL.
