Dynamic URL creation

Question

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario where I need to call a particular URL via SOAP adapter.
Now the URL is not constant. A part of the URL should be dynamically selected based on the payload value.
For ex:
https://collab.test.com/<name>/<agency>/groups.asmx
Here, based on incoming payload data i need to populate the <name> and <agency> field in the communication channel.
Do I need to write any UDF for Dynamic Configuration. If yes can you please guide in this regard.
Thanks,
Souvik

Hi Souvik,
Yes you need to write a UDF for setting this in the Dynamic Configuration. Please take a look at the below link of how you can use ASMA properties (point 6) to do the same:

Also take a look at this link:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/2007/06/22/SOAPAdapterdynamicURLconfiguration
Here is the Sample code for it:
//Get the dynamic configuration from the container
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
String url = "Your desired URL";   // the desired URL
//Create the TServerLocation key in namespace http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SOAP. This key will hold the dynamically created URL
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SOAP", "TServerLocation");
//Put the url value from the input in the configuration under the specified key
conf.put(key, url);
//return the data for mapping to the output
return data;
