Membrane Service Proxy is an open source, reverse HTTP proxy framework written in Java, licensed under ASF 2.0, that can be used as

• a Service Virtualization layer,
• an API Gateway,
• a synchronous ESB for HTTP based Integration,
• a Security Proxy.

To get started, follow the SOAP and REST tutorials or have a look at the examples or the FAQ.

Download the binary.

Unpack.

Start service-proxy.sh or service-proxy.bat.

Have a look at the main configuration file conf/proxies.xml. Changes to this file are instantly deployed.

Run the samples in the examples folder or go to the website for more documentation.

Hosting virtual REST services is easy:

<serviceProxy port="80">
    <path>/restnames/</path>
    <target host="www.thomas-bayer.com" />
</serviceProxy>

SOAP proxies configure themselves by analysing WSDL:

<soapProxy wsdl="http://thomas-bayer.com/axis2/services/BLZService?wsdl">
</soapProxy>

Add features like logging or XML Schema validation against a WSDL document:

<soapProxy wsdl="http://thomas-bayer.com/axis2/services/BLZService?wsdl">
	<validator />
	<log />
</soapProxy>
