How to define the default behavior when no processing policy rules match

Question & Answer


Question

Each XML Firewall or Multi-Protocol Gateway service has a processing policy that consists of one or more rules. These rules specify the criteria by which that rule is selected and the actions that are performed as the request or response passes through that service. But, what happens if none of the rule criteria is matched by any of the rules in the policy? The behavior of the service depends on many factors, including the request type, the response type, the type of service object, and so on. When no processing policy rules of a processing policy are matched, the default behavior might not be the behavior that you want. Instead of using the default behavior, you can control the behavior with "match all" rules.
