How to use VMware Spring Cloud Gateway route filters with the Azure Spring Apps Enterprise plan

Note

The Basic, Standard, and Enterprise plans will be deprecated starting from mid-March, 2025, with a 3 year retirement period. We recommend transitioning to Azure Container Apps. For more information, see the Azure Spring Apps retirement announcement.

The Standard consumption and dedicated plan will be deprecated starting September 30, 2024, with a complete shutdown after six months. We recommend transitioning to Azure Container Apps. For more information, see Migrate Azure Spring Apps Standard consumption and dedicated plan to Azure Container Apps.

This article applies to: ❌ Basic/Standard ✔️ Enterprise

This article explains how to use VMware Spring Cloud Gateway route filters with the Azure Spring Apps Enterprise plan to route requests to your applications.

VMware Spring Cloud Gateway is a commercial VMware Tanzu component based on the open-source Spring Cloud Gateway project. Spring Cloud Gateway handles cross-cutting concerns for API development teams, such as single sign-on (SSO), access control, rate-limiting, resiliency, security, and more. You can accelerate API delivery using modern cloud native patterns, and any programming language you choose for API development.

VMware Spring Cloud Gateway includes the following features:

  • Dynamic routing configuration, independent of individual applications that can be applied and changed without recompilation.
  • Commercial API route filters for transporting authorized JSON Web Token (JWT) claim to application services.
  • Client certificate authorization.
  • Rate-limiting approaches.
  • Circuit breaker configuration.
  • Support for accessing application services via HTTP Basic Authentication credentials.

To integrate with API Portal for VMware Tanzu, VMware Spring Cloud Gateway automatically generates OpenAPI version 3 documentation after any route configuration additions or changes. For more information, see Use API Portal for VMware Tanzu.

Prerequisites

Use filters

You use filters in your Spring Cloud Gateway configuration to act on the incoming request or outgoing response to a route configuration.

For example, you can use a filter to add an HTTP header or to deny access based on an authorization token.

Use open source filters

Spring Cloud Gateway OSS includes several GatewayFilter factories used to create filters for routes. The following sections describe these factories.

AddRequestHeader

The AddRequestHeader factory adds a header to the downstream request's headers for all matching requests.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameters:

  • name
  • value

The following example configures an AddRequestHeader factory that adds the header X-Request-red:blue to the downstream request's headers for all matching requests:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "AddRequestHeader=X-Request-red, blue"
        ]
    }
]

The AddRequestHeader factory has access to the URI variables used to match a path or host. You can use URI variables in the value, and the variables are expanded at runtime.

The following example configures an AddRequestHeader factory that uses a variable:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/{segment}"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "AddRequestHeader=X-Request-red, blue-{segment}"
        ]
    }
]

AddRequestHeadersIfNotPresent

The AddRequestHeadersIfNotPresent factory adds headers if they aren't present in the original request.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameter:

  • headers: A comma-separated list of key-value pairs (header name, header value).

The following example configures an AddRequestHeadersIfNotPresent factory:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "AddRequestHeadersIfNotPresent=Content-Type:application/json,Connection:keep-alive"
        ]
    }
]

AddRequestParameter

The AddRequestParameter factory adds a parameter to the downstream request's query string for all matching requests.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameters:

  • name
  • value

The following example configures an AddRequestParameter factory that adds a red=blue parameter to the downstream request's query string for all matching requests:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "AddRequestParameter=red, blue"
        ]
    }
]

The AddRequestParameter factory has access to the URI variables used to match a path or host. You can use URI variables in the value, and the variables are expanded at runtime.

The following example configures an AddRequestParameter factory that uses a variable:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/{segment}"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "AddRequestParameter=foo, bar-{segment}"
        ]
    }
]

AddResponseHeader

The AddResponseHeader factory adds a header to the downstream response's headers for all matching requests.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameters:

  • name
  • value

The following example configures an AddResponseHeader factory that adds a X-Response-Red:Blue header to the downstream response's headers for all matching requests:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "AddResponseHeader=X-Response-Red, Blue"
        ]
    }
]

The AddResponseHeader factory has access to the URI variables used to match a path or host. You can use URI variables in the value, and the variables are expanded at runtime.

The following example configures an AddResponseHeader factory that uses a variable:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/{segment}"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "AddResponseHeader=foo, bar-{segment}"
        ]
    }
]

CircuitBreaker

The CircuitBreaker factory wraps routes in a circuit breaker.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameters:

  • name: The circuit breaker name.
  • fallbackUri: The reroute URI, which can be a local route or external handler.
  • status codes (optional): The colon-separated list of status codes to match, in number or text format.
  • failure rate (optional): The threshold above which the circuit breaker opens. The default value is 50%.
  • duration (optional): The time to wait before closing again. The default value is 60 seconds.

The following example configures a CircuitBreaker factory:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "CircuitBreaker=myCircuitBreaker,forward:/inCaseOfFailureUseThis,401:NOT_FOUND:500,10,30s"
        ]
    }
]

DeDupeResponseHeader

The DeDupeResponseHeader factory removes duplicate values of response headers.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameters:

  • name: A space-separated list of header names.
  • strategy (optional): The accepted values are RETAIN_FIRST, RETAIN_LAST, and RETAIN_UNIQUE. The default value is RETAIN_FIRST.

The following example configures a DeDupeResponseHeader factory that removes duplicate values of Access-Control-Allow-Credentials and Access-Control-Allow-Origin response headers when both values are added by the gateway CORS logic and the downstream logic:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "DeDupeResponseHeader=Access-Control-Allow-Credentials Access-Control-Allow-Origin"
        ]
    }
]

FallbackHeaders

The FallbackHeaders factory adds any circuit breaker exception to a header. This filter requires the use of the CircuitBreaker filter in another route.

There are no parameters for this factory.

The following example configures a FallbackHeaders factory with the exception type, message, and (if available) root cause exception type and message that the FallbackHeaders filter adds to the request:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "CircuitBreaker=myCircuitBreaker,forward:/inCaseOfFailureUseThis,401:NOT_FOUND:500,10,30s"
        ]
    },
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/inCaseOfFailureUseThis"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "FallbackHeaders"
        ]
    }
]

You can overwrite the names of the headers in the configuration by setting the values of the following parameters (mentioned with their default values):

  • executionExceptionTypeHeaderName ("Execution-Exception-Type")
  • executionExceptionMessageHeaderName ("Execution-Exception-Message")
  • rootCauseExceptionTypeHeaderName ("Root-Cause-Exception-Type")
  • rootCauseExceptionMessageHeaderName ("Root-Cause-Exception-Message")

JSONToGRPC

The JSONToGRPCFilter factory converts a JSON payload to a gRPC request.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameter:

  • protoDescriptor: A proto descriptor file.

You can generate this file by using protoc and specifying the --descriptor_set_out flag, as shown in the following example:

protoc --proto_path=src/main/resources/proto/ \
    --descriptor_set_out=src/main/resources/proto/hello.pb \
    src/main/resources/proto/hello.proto

Note

The streaming parameter isn't supported.

The following example configures a JSONToGRPCFilter factory using the output from protoc:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/json/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "JsonToGrpc=file:proto/hello.pb,file:proto/hello.proto,HelloService,hello"
        ]
    }
]

LocalResponseCache

The LocalResponseCache factory overrides the local response cache configuration for specific routes when the global cache is activated.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameters:

  • size: The maximum allowed size of the cache entries for this route before cache eviction begins (in KB, MB, and GB).
  • timeToLive: The allowed lifespan of a cache entry before expiration. Use the duration suffix s for seconds, m for minutes, or h for hours.

The following example configures a LocalResponseCache factory:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "LocalResponseCache=3m,1MB"
        ]
    }
]

MapRequestHeader

The MapRequestHeader factory adds a header to the downstream request with updated values from the incoming HTTP request's header.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameters:

  • fromHeader
  • toHeader

This factory creates a new named header (toHeader), and the value is extracted out of an existing named header (fromHeader) from the incoming HTTP request. If the input header doesn't exist, the filter has no effect. If the new named header already exists, its values are augmented with the new values.

The following example configures a MapRequestHeader factory that adds the X-Request-Red:<values> header to the downstream request with updated values from the incoming HTTP request's Blue header:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "MapRequestHeader=Blue, X-Request-Red"
        ]
    }
]

PrefixPath

The PrefixPath factory adds a prefix to the path of all requests.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameter:

  • prefix

The following example configures a PrefixPath factory that adds the prefix /api to the path of all requests, so that a request to /catalog is sent to /api/catalog:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/catalog/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "PrefixPath=/api"
        ]
    }
]

PreserveHostHeader

The PreserveHostHeader factory sets a request attribute that the routing filter inspects to determine whether to send the original host header or the host header determined by the HTTP client.

There are no parameters for this factory.

The following example configures a PreserveHostHeader factory:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "PreserveHostHeader"
        ]
    }
]

RedirectTo

The RedirectTo factory adds a redirect to the original URL.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameters:

  • status: A 300 series redirect HTTP code, such as 301.
  • url: The value of the Location header. Must be a valid URI. For relative redirects, you should use uri: no://op as the URI of your route definition.

The following example configures a RedirectTo factory that sends a status 302 with a Location:https://acme.org header to perform a redirect:

[
    {
        "uri": "https://example.org",
        "filters": [
            "RedirectTo=302, https://acme.org"
        ]
    }
]

RemoveJsonAttributesResponseBody

The RemoveJsonAttributesResponseBody factory removes the JSON attributes and their values from JSON response bodies.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameters:

  • attribute names: A comma-separated list of the names of attributes to remove from a JSON response.
  • delete recursively (optional, boolean): A configuration that removes the attributes only at root level (false), or recursively (true). The default value is false.

The following example configures a RemoveJsonAttributesResponseBody factory:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "RemoveJsonAttributesResponseBody=origin,foo,true"
        ]
    }
]

RemoveRequestHeader

The RemoveRequestHeader factory removes a header from the downstream request.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameter:

  • name: The name of the header to be removed.

The following listing configures a RemoveRequestHeader factory that removes the X-Request-Foo header before it's sent downstream:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "RemoveRequestHeader=X-Request-Foo"
        ]
    }
]

RemoveRequestParameter

The RemoveRequestParameter factory removes a parameter before it's sent downstream.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameter:

  • name: The name of the query parameter to be removed.

The following example configures a RemoveRequestParameter factory that removes the red parameter before it's sent downstream:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "RemoveRequestParameter=red"
        ]
    }
]

RemoveResponseHeader

The RemoveResponseHeader factory removes a header from the response before it's returned to the gateway client.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameter:

  • name: The name of the header to be removed.

The following listing configures a RemoveResponseHeader factory that removes the X-Response-Foo header from the response before it's returned to the gateway client:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "RemoveResponseHeader=X-Response-Foo"
        ]
    }
]

RequestHeaderSize

The RequestHeaderSize factory determines the size of the request header.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameters:

  • maxSize: The maximum data size allowed by the request header, including key and value.
  • errorHeaderName: The name of the response header containing an error message. By default, the name of the response header is errorMessage.

The following listing configures a RequestHeaderSize factory that sends a status 431 if the size of any request header is greater than 1000 bytes:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "RequestHeaderSize=1000B"
        ]
    }
]

RewriteLocationResponseHeader

The RewriteLocationResponseHeader factory modifies the value of the Location response header, usually to get rid of backend-specific details.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameters:

  • stripVersionMode: This parameter has the following possible values: NEVER_STRIP, AS_IN_REQUEST, and ALWAYS_STRIP. The default value is AS_IN_REQUEST.

    • NEVER_STRIP: The version isn't stripped, even if the original request path contains no version.
    • AS_IN_REQUEST: The version is stripped only if the original request path contains no version.
    • ALWAYS_STRIP: The version is always stripped, even if the original request path contains version.
  • hostValue: This parameter is used to replace the host:port portion of the response Location header when provided. If it isn't provided, the value of the Host request header is used.

  • protocolsRegex: A valid regex String, against which the protocol name is matched. If it isn't matched, the filter doesn't work. The default value is http|https|ftp|ftps.

  • locationHeaderName

The following listing configures a RewriteLocationResponseHeader factory:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "RewriteLocationResponseHeader=AS_IN_REQUEST, Location, ,"
        ]
    }
]

In this example, for a request value of POST api.example.com/some/object/name, the Location response header value of object-service.prod.example.net/v2/some/object/id is rewritten as api.example.com/some/object/id.

RewritePath

The RewritePath factory uses Java regular expressions for a flexible way to rewrite the request path.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameters:

  • regexp
  • replacement

The following listing configures a RewritePath factory:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/red/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "RewritePath=/red/?(?<segment>.*), /$\\{segment}"
        ]
    }
]

In this example, for a request path of /red/blue, this configuration sets the path to /blue before making the downstream request.

RewriteResponseHeader

The RewriteResponseHeader factory uses Java regular expressions for a flexible way to rewrite the response header value.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameters:

  • name
  • regexp
  • replacement

The following example configures a RewriteResponseHeader factory:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/red/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "RewriteResponseHeader=X-Response-Red, , password=[^&]+, password=***"
        ]
    }
]

In this example, for a header value of /42?user=ford&password=omg!what&flag=true, the configuration is set to /42?user=ford&password=***&flag=true after making the downstream request.

SetPath

The SetPath factory offers a simple way to manipulate the request path by allowing templated segments of the path. This filter uses the URI templates from Spring Framework and allows multiple matching segments.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameter:

  • template

The following example configures a SetPath factory:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/red/{segment}"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "SetPath=/{segment}"
        ]
    }
]

In this example, for a request path of /red/blue, this configuration sets the path to /blue before making the downstream request.

SetRequestHeader

The SetRequestHeader factory replaces (rather than adding) all headers with the given name.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameters:

  • name
  • value

The following listing configures a SetRequestHeader factory:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "SetRequestHeader=X-Request-Red, Blue"
        ]
    }
]

In this example, the downstream server responded with X-Request-Red:1234, and it's replaced with X-Request-Red:Blue.

The SetRequestHeader factory has access to the URI variables used to match a path or host. You can use URI variables in the value, and the variables are expanded at runtime.

The following example configures an SetRequestHeader factory that uses a variable:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/{segment}"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "SetRequestHeader=foo, bar-{segment}"
        ]
    }
]

SetResponseHeader

The SetResponseHeader factory replaces (rather than adding) all headers with the given name.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameters:

  • name
  • value

The following listing configures a SetResponseHeader factory:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "SetResponseHeader=X-Response-Red, Blue"
        ]
    }
]

In this example, the downstream server responded with X-Response-Red:1234, and it's replaced with X-Response-Red:Blue.

The SetResponseHeader factory has access to the URI variables used to match a path or host. You can use URI variables in the value, and the variables are expanded at runtime.

The following example configures an SetResponseHeader factory that uses a variable:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/{segment}"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "SetResponseHeader=foo, bar-{segment}"
        ]
    }
]

SetStatus

The SetStatus factory configures the response status of the server request.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameter:

  • status: A valid Spring HttpStatus value, which can an integer value such as 404, or the string representation of the enumeration, such as NOT_FOUND.

The following listing configures a SetStatus factory:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/experimental/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "SetStatus=UNAUTHORIZED"
        ]
    },
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/unknown/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "SetStatus=401"
        ]
    }
]

StripPrefix

The StripPrefix factory removes the prefix from the request before sending it downstream.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameter:

  • parts: The number of parts in the path to strip from the request before sending it downstream. The default value is 1.

The following example configures a StripPrefix factory:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/name/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "StripPrefix=2"
        ]
    }
]

In this example, a request is made through the gateway to /name/blue/red. The request made to nameservice appears as nameservice/red.

Retry

The Retry factory determines the number of retries attempted.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameters:

  • retries: The number of retries that should be attempted.
  • statuses: The HTTP status codes that should be retried, represented by using org.springframework.http.HttpStatus.
  • methods: The HTTP methods that should be retried, represented by using org.springframework.http.HttpMethod.
  • series: The series of status codes to be retried, represented by using org.springframework.http.HttpStatus.Series.
  • exceptions: The list of thrown exceptions that should be retried.
  • backoff: The configured exponential backoff for the retries. Retries are performed after a backoff interval of firstBackoff * (factor ^ n), where n is the iteration. If maxBackoff is configured, the maximum backoff applied is limited to maxBackoff. If basedOnPreviousValue is true, the backoff is calculated by using prevBackoff * factor.

The following defaults are configured for the Retry filter, when enabled:

  • retries: three times.
  • series: 5XX series.
  • methods: GET method.
  • exceptions: IOException and TimeoutException.
  • backoff: disabled.

The following example configures a Retry factory:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "Retry=3,INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR,GET,10ms,50ms,2,false"
        ]
    }
]

RequestSize

The RequestSize factory can restrict a request from reaching the downstream service when the request size is greater than the permissible limit.

This factory accepts the following configuration parameter:

  • maxSize: A DataSize type where values are defined as a number followed by an optional DataUnit suffix such as KB or MB. The default suffix value is B for bytes. It's the permissible size limit of the request defined in bytes.

The following example configures a RequestSize factory:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/upload"
        ],
        "filters": [
            "RequestSize=5000000"
        ]
    }
]

In this example, when the request is rejected due to size, the RequestSize factory sets the response status to 413 Payload Too Large with another header errorMessage.

The following example shows an errorMessage:

errorMessage : Request size is larger than permissible limit. Request size is 6.0 MB where permissible limit is 5.0 MB

TokenRelay

The TokenRelay factory forwards an OAuth2 access token to downstream resources. This filter is configured as a boolean value in the route definition rather than an explicit filter.

The following example configures a TokenRelay factory:

[
    {
        "predicates": [
            "Path=/api/**"
        ],
        "tokenRelay": true
    }
