  • 1.  Datapower non-SOAP webservice implementation

    Posted Tue March 27, 2012 08:04 PM
    Is it possible to implement a non-SOAP webservice in Datapower. I have a constraint in implementing an MPG service, as the requestor can only access the default ports like 80, 8080, 443 ports whereas the MPG cannot be hosted on the above ports. The other constraint is, source can only send name value pair request and not SOAP request, in this case the WSP cannot be configured. Is there any option or workaround to suffice the above requirement in Datapower ?

    THis is a bit old but here we go anyway...

    So, you'd need to use a MPGW or a XMLFW to be able to receive a HTTP POST of "binary/non-XML" data as DataPower will interpret it as.
    Any front-side-handler can use any port on DataPower so a MPGW can too use port 80, 443 or whatever you like.

    If you mean that you already have a WSP configured listeneing on 80, 8080 and 443 then you'd need to add a "routing service" in front of the WSP that uses those ports and then rout to either WSP or MPGW depending on the request payload (aka. Service-Chaining).
