Order of XML_CONTENT_BASED_ROUTING execution

Hi, I've seen all the nice charts showing the order of http event execution, but can't find anything showing how that might relate to XML_CONTENT_BASED_ROUTING event execution.   I have an HTTP_RE...

Hi, thanks for the response.

 

It seems that the old post was correct, and HTTP_REQUEST fires first no matter what, at least in LTM 11.4.0, even if the two events are in separate iRules with the XML_CONTENT_BASED_ROUTING iRule first in the order. But HTTP:: commands do work with an XML_CONTENT_BASED_ROUTING event, so I've just incorporated them into that and it's working the way I want.

 

Thanks again for your help. I guess I could have easily figured this out without posting, but now others know too.

I've tested with only two events, HTTP_REQUEST and XML_CONTENT_BASED_ROUTING, and I found that no matter what I do HTTP_REQUEST fires first. That is, whether both events are in the same iRule with XML_CONTENT_BASED_ROUTING first, or in separate iRules with the XML_CONTENT_BASED_ROUTING rule first in the order, HTTP_REQUEST still fires first.
