Custom Proxy Template

The "Custom Proxy" template launches the Proxy Service Samples creation wizard and allows to create a new Proxy Service from the scratch. Customize each and every aspect of the proxy including sequences, endpoints, transports and other QoS settings. There are 3 steps to create a Proxy Service using Custom Proxy Template.

Step 1|#Step 2

Step 2|#Step 3

Step 3

Step 1

The Proxy Service settings:

  • Proxy Service Name - Allows to define the unique name of the Proxy Service.
  • General Settings
    • Publishing WSDL - Allows to set a publishing WSDL as:
    • Do Not load service on startup - Allows to choose whether or not to load the Service on startup.
    • Pinned servers - Allows to enter pinned servers. The names of the servers must be separated by comma or space.
    • Service Group - Allows to specify the Service Group if it is necessary. See more information about service groups in Managing Service Groups.
  • Transport Settings:
    • http/https - Allows to choose transport to use. Only enabled transports appear in the "Transports" list. See the detailed information in Transports.

Step 2

In sequence handles the incoming requests to the proxy service before they are dispatched to the target endpoint. A proxy service must contain an in sequence or an endpoint or both.

The following options are to be specified:

  • In Sequence Options:
    • None
    • Define Inline - Allows to use the "Create" link to create and add a sequence. See Adding a Mediation Sequence.
    • Pick from registry - Allows to choose the "In Sequence" path from the Configuration Registry or the Governance Registry. For more information about the Registry Browser, see Namespace.
    • Use Existing Sequence - Allows to choose an existing sequence from the drop-down menu.
  • Endpoint Options:
    • None
    • Define Inline- Allows to use the "Create" link to create and add an endpoint. See Adding an Endpoint.
    • Pick from registry - Allows to choose the "Endpoint" path from the Configuration Registry or the Governance Registry. For more information about the Registry Browser see Namespace.
    • Use Existing Endpoint - Allows to choose an existing endpoint from the drop-down menu.

Click "Next" to go to the Step 3.

Step 3

Out sequence mediates the response messages from the backend service before they are sent back to the client. Fault sequence is invoked in case of any errors while mediating a message through the proxy service. Both out sequence and fault sequence are optional.

The following options are to be specified:

  • Out Sequence Options:
    • None
    • Define Inline - Allows to use the "Create" link to create and add an Out Sequence. See Adding a Mediation Sequence.
    • Pick from registry - Allows to choose the "Out Sequence" path from the Configuration Registry or the Governance Registry. For more information about the Registry Browser see Namespace.
    • Use Existing Sequence - Allows to choose an existing sequence from the drop-down menu.
  • Fault Sequence Options:
    • None
    • Define Inline - Allows to use the "Add" link to create and add a Fault Sequence. See Adding a Mediation Sequence.
    • Pick from registry - Allows to choose the "Fault Sequence" path from the Configuration Registry or the Governance Registry. For more information about the Registry Browser see Namespace.
    • Use Existing Sequence - Allows to choose an existing sequence from the drop-down menu.
