How to have dynamic routing in datapower

Well I am quite new to datapower(IBM Websphere xi50) and i have got struck as to how to route dynamically.Suppose we have configured dynamic backend then a client asks for some service so how to route it .

Is it through XSLT or yhrough certain policy creation I am not getting any clear idea regarding it?

Thanks

Solution

  • You can do it through XSLT . The steps to do it is as following (logically)

    Step 1: Determine the criteria based on which you want routing [it could be URI or any part of message] Step 2: Use datapower built in function dp:open-url to send traffic to target.
    Step 3: Get the response and process it.

    There are other ways to do it as well but this is the most straight forward way.
