I have a url path that looks like this:
/{identifier}/rest/of/resource/path
If the identifier is A then the request should go to service_I. If the identifier is B then the request should also go to service_I. If the identifier is C, then the request should go to service_II, and so on.
Later on a new identifiers M and N is added to the system and their requests should be routed to service_IV.
Is it possible to dynamically configure a Spring cloud zuul proxy to perform the tasks described above?
This question offered contains a different way to examine the question.
In it Zuul has the following configuration:
zuul:
routes:
<service_id>:
path: /path/**
Zuul will collaborate with Eureka to find the service-id and return the host parameters so that the service can be accessed. What if instead of /path we have /{userID} and the userID instances are distributed across several service_id hosts?
Can Zuul / the DiscoveryClient query Eureka for both the service_id and the userID to figure out which host is hosting the particular userID?
You would need to write a custom ZuulFilter to accomplish this. Take a look at the PreDecorationFilter for some hints as this is the filter responsible for handling /path where the path is a service-id (among other things).
