Policy Type
Description
Script policy allows you to execute custom scripts (Groovy or JavaScript) during request/response processing. Scripts can modify requests, responses, set variables, call external services, and perform custom business logic.

The script has access to the following variables:

Notes and Warnings
-
Script Execution:
SYNC - Script executes synchronously and blocks request/response processing
ASYNC - Script executes asynchronously and does not block processing
-
Script Languages:
GROOVY - Full Groovy support with access to Java APIs
JAVASCRIPT - JavaScript (Nashorn engine) with limited Java API access
-
Script Context: Scripts have access to:
messageContext - Message context (request/response)
request - HTTP request object (REQUEST pipeline)
response - HTTP response object (RESPONSE/ERROR pipeline)
variables - Variable map for data storage
logger - Logger for script logging
-
Performance:
- Synchronous scripts block request/response processing
- Keep scripts simple and fast for better performance
- Use asynchronous scripts for non-critical operations
-
Error Handling: Script errors can break request/response processing. Test scripts thoroughly.
-
Security: Scripts have full access to request/response data. Validate and sanitize inputs.
-
Deployment: Policy changes require deployment to take effect. Set
deploy: true or deploy manually.
