OSB proxy for HTTP GET servlet

Question

Hello,
I need to create a proxy in OSB that will accept HTTP/GET requests (with ?param1=value1&param2=value2.... parameters).
My goal is simply to forward this request to another servlet in J2EE instance that will actually serve the request and send back to OSB the text/xml response.
Can you please point me to the correct proxy and business service configuration for this?
Our SOA version is 10.3.6 and we have OSB and J2EE servers in our domain.
Thanks

Answer 1

Hello again,
I found the solution so I will share it with you in case someones needs it the future.
I created a business service with Service Type "Messaging service", request message type "none", response message type "text" and Http transport "GET".
I created a proxy service with Service Type "Messaging service", request message type "text", response message type "text". I created a routing node my flow directed to the business service mentioned above. In the routing pipeline request i put the following actions:
1) Assign:
Expression $inbound/ctx:transport/ctx:request/http:query-string/text()
variable queryString
to assign the inbound query string in a variable
2)Insert
expr: fn-bea:inlinedXML('<http:query-string xmlns:http="http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/transports/http"></http:query-string>')
location: as first child
Xpath: ./ctx:transport/ctx:request
in variable: outbound
3)insert
expr: $queryString (created in step 1)
location: as first child
Xpath: ./ctx:transport/ctx:request/http:query-string
in variable: outbound
Now the query string should be redirected properly to your business service/ GET servlet.
