Status Not under consideration

WS-Proxy policy rule match based on namespaces

DataPower should be able to handle multiple WSDL (versions) potentially containing the same operations without the need of dedicated URIs for each service (version).

Unfortunately DataPower can't distinguish between two services being exposed under the same URL and always fires the first matching request rule regardless of the namespace. This is because the current implementation can only distinguish between to WSDLs within the same WS-Proxy based on IP and URI. It does not respect fragment identifiers based on target namespace and port name specified in the "Service Port Match Expression" of the "Local Rewrite Rules" of the related "WS-Proxy Endpoint Rewrite" object.

    I'm quite sad about the "Not under consideration" status for at least two reasons:

    1) Why are namespaces needed in the endpoint mapping when they are not used to differentiate between requests?

    2) The change wouldn't be breaking as it wouldn't change the current behaviour, as everybody already has to use dedicated URIs.

    I know that classical SOAP-based services are on the skids, but there are still a many customers using these old-fashioned web services.
