XML Pattern Creation
XML-related commands are issued at the /xmlpattern level of the
CLI, below the server port level. For example:
…/server/10.1.1.1/port/80/xmlpattern#
create */order.asp & doc=3 & //From[id="Acme"]
NOTE: Case is
significant for text
elements like “Acme.”
Incoming text using
“acme” (all lowercase)
does not match, unless
you use the translate()
function to convert text
case.
where:
•
*/order.asp is the Layer 7 (RICH) expression
•
doc=3 is the third document in a multipart or URL encoded
message. For more information, see “Document Number
Specification” later in this chapter.
•
//From[id=”Acme”] is the XML expression.
It is imperative that XML commands be written as shown above, with
spaces on either side of all ampersands (&) used to separate the RICH
expression, document number (if used), and XML expression (if
used). Failure to do so results in an error.
Once created, XML patterns receive index numbers and are stored in
a list. You can display this list by typing the
info command:
…/server/10.1.1.1/port/80/xmlpattern#info
This results in a list of expressions by their index number.
XML commands can also be entered and managed using the Policy
Manager screen of the Graphical User Interface. For more
information, see Chapter 4.
For more information on XML commands, see Chapter 5.
