RFE Review. As part of our standard process for reviewing RFEs we have recently discussed this RFE and wish to note that it remains of long term interest to us. It is regrettable that we have not yet managed to prioritize this requirement for immediate action, but we will continue to monitor for popularity and keep it in mind for future plans. Status is maintained as Uncommitted Candidate.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Integration
Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Connectivity and Integration
Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB
Thank you for raising this requirement. As alluded to in the description, we see distinct kinds of inbound traffic over HTTP coming in to IIB - SOAP HTTP and other non-SOAP formats (most typically but not exclusively, JSON formats driving RESTful implementations). As stated, we have currently chosen the expression of the 404 Not Found message as HTML as a preferred common denominator. Of the suggested options for enhancement, the forcing of a distinct listener for HTTP or SOAP services sounds rather restrictive. There will be users who wish to receive traffic to different URL fragments on the same port, some of which will be SOAP based and some not, and this approach would not satisfy this. Option 2 to change default behaviour would also break backward compatability for users preferring and relying upon the HTML format of fault reporting. Option 3 sounds the most promising - providing a configuration option to choose between different methods of error reporting. Such a choice could be made on the HTTPConnector object, and various levels of granularity possible - for example associating particular URL fragments with particular style of error report. In the short term, I understand you have already been in contact with L3 service on this topic and URI wildcards have been discussed. Status of this RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
