Proxying a REST Service Sample

This sample includes a service that acts as a proxy for an existing RESTful service. When a client invokes this service, it forwards the message to the backend service without altering its content.

Specifically, the sample features a REST API called UserInfoRestAPI, which serves as the proxy. Additionally, it includes an HTTP endpoint named UsersHttpEP that represents the actual backend service within the MI context.

Deploying the sample

1. Open the sample by clicking on the Proxying a REST Service card.
2. Give a folder location to save the sample.
3. Build and run the sample in your Micro Integrator.

Running the sample

1. Open a terminal and run the following commands to invoke the API.

   curl --location 'http://localhost:8290/userInfo/users' 
   

   You will receive a response like following.
