Fronting web services

If you are using Apache or Microsoft IIS to front your web server and want to use web services, you will also need to change your web services configuration file to allow it to serve the correct endpoints in the xMatters WSDL.

To front the xMatters web services:
  1. Open the <xmHOME>\webserver\webapps\axis2\WEB-INF\conf\axis2.xml file in a text editor.
  2. Locate the httpFrontendHostUrl parameter, and, if necessary, uncomment it (it is commented out by default).
  3. Modify the value to point to your fronting server's IP address or domain with the api namespace.
<parameter name="httpFrontendHostUrl">http://199.199.199.199/api</parameter>
  1. Save and close the file.
  2. Restart the xMatters web server.
