Hi Chris, I mixed up the stuff a little there. It was actually a REST API as long as I was talking about my own application. Since I am simulating the stuff (for some testing purposes) I wanted to show our Global product as if 20 of those applications are sending responses when the Global thing makes GET PUT POST to the servers (Apache's virtual hosts in this case). Redirection and rewrite directives are exactly the ones which I tried few hours ago and they did their job. I should have asked something like how do I map
http://localhost:682/source/getservxml to a resource on the disk. But by the way I still have few questions: Since I am trying this for the first time, I used static data locations and used a Redirect. But I want random data to be generated for each request I get. What are the proposed suggestions for this?
