How to handle special or junk characters

[saisuneel]

Hi All,

 

I was tried to check on assertions , how to restrict special characters or junk characters in xml body element by using layer 7 assertion in rest service.

Do we have any assertion in ca layer 7 to restrict below special characters in xml body.

Hello Suneel,

Commonly, you need to generate a xml schema file (.xsd), to restrict the value of an element, (for example, XML Schema Restrictions/Facets ) and then you can use Validate xml schema assertion (Validate XML Schema Assertion (Message Validation/Transformation) - CA API Gateway - 9.2 - CA Technologies Documentation )

 

Alternately, you can use Evaluate regular expression assertion to scan the request (Evaluate Regular Expression Assertion - CA API Gateway - 9.2 - CA Technologies Documentation )
