Proxies

In this section, we will see the different ways that the Enterprise Integrator server offers us to create SOAP proxy services. We have a wizard for the most common types of proxy that lets us create a proxy quickly; also, we can create a custom proxy for more complex scenarios.

We can configure a different setup for a proxy service, such as transport, security, caching, throttling, and so on.

The transformerproxy receives the request and then applies a transformation using the XSLT language before sending it to the backend service. Also, it can be used to transform the backend service response before sending it back to the client.

Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) is a language for transforming XML payload:

Secure proxy

The proxy that we create using this wizard will be secured using WS-Security standard, and can be used to secure a backend service that has no security restriction.

Consider that we have a legacy backend service with no security...
