Is this a good use case for interceptors

[Gary W]

Hello Thomas

I'm working on a proxy design and wanted to see if by chance things like this may be out of box, possible future or if interceptors would work

I've attached a diagram of 3 separate requirements

1). SOAP coming in with xpath route to either a soap or a transform to rest.

2). SOAP coming in, to rest transform. I noticed in previous post Rest2Soap and was wondering if Soap2Rest was on the horizon.

3). SOAP coming in, to a replicator which issues requests multiple soap and rest services and then merges the responses.

Do you think 1 and 3 can be done in a interceptors? 

Is by chance anything already done to do this?

Is by chance anything like this planned for a future release?

Thanks

Gary

For XPath routes there is the switch interceptor:
http://www.membrane-soa.org/service-proxy-doc/4.0/configuration/reference/switch.htm

SOAP to REST is the same as in 2.)

Actually we are working on the REST to SOAP part.

For that I would consider using Apache Camel.

1 + 2 yes

SOAP to REST was more in need than the other way round. But it was ask
several times recently.

for 2.) yes

Thank you Thomas,

It is looking like the target REST service expects formdata like the com.sun.jersey client code looks something like:

              com.sun.jersey.multipart.FormDataMultiPart formDataMultiPart = new FormDataMultiPart();

              formDataMultiPart.field("firstName", "Raj");

Is this something that can be done with the  Soap2Rest implementation? This example of rest uses form data versus json.

Can we do this FormDataMultiPart in an interceptor?

Thanks

Gary

Hi Again Thomas,

For XPath routes there is the switch interceptor: 
http://www.membrane-soa.org/service-proxy-doc/4.0/configuration/reference/switch.htm 

Is it possible to do a Soap2Rest based on xpath and a forward proxy with no transforms to other xpaths ?

Depends. A Soap2Rest converter has to a mapping from SOAP Operation to Resource URL and method:

getOrder(7) -> GET http://host/orders/7
deleteOrder(7) -> DELETE  http://host/orders/7
createOrder(7, '...','...') -> PUT http://host/orders/7

so it is a bit more complex.

Soap2Rest does not support MulitPart right now.

In an interceptor you can do almost everything ,-) I would also do this there.
