Entry Step (SOAP Virtual Service)
The Entry Step specifies the protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) and SOAP format (1.1 or 1.2) of the requests that the virtual service will accept.
This step allows you to bridge protocols between the consuming application and the native service. For example, suppose you have a native service that is exposed over HTTPS and a consuming application that submits SOAP requests over HTTP. In this situation, you can configure the virtual service's Entry Step to accept HTTP requests and configure its Routing Rule step to route the request to the Web service using HTTPS.
To configure the Entry Step:
1. Click the virtual service name in the CloudStreams Governance view.
2. Expand the In Sequence step in the editor.
3. Click Entry Step and complete the following fields in the General page in the Properties view.
Name
You can optionally change the step name to any other name. There are no naming restrictions.
Type
(Read-only field.) Entry Step.
Protocol
The protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) over which the virtual service will accept requests. To specify HTTPS, select both HTTP and SSL.
Format
The SOAP format (SOAP 1.1 or SOAP 1.2) of the requests that the virtual service will accept.
