Description

Description:
Customer uses BW buildin serviceagent to get the WSDL files of webservices behind F5 load balancer. The WSDL files are used in SOAPUI directly to generate a sample request. But the location URL is "localhost:port" like the GV set when deploying the application.

Resolution

Build a proxy process to change the WSDL, using "substring-before" and "substring-after" functions are enough. The attached process (Filename:GetWSDL_ChangeWSDL.process) would get the WSDL and replace the "Location" URL since there would be only one "Location" URL. A better proxy could be built to support more WSDLs.
