Websphere data group irule

I just implemented something similar to the following:

if {[class match [HTTP::uri] starts_with URL-DataGroup]} {
  pool WEBSPHERE_POOL_9086
} else }
  HTTP::respond 200 content { Wrong URL }
}

I have tried the following; but get the TCL error when the rule is hit and am unable to access the site at all

01220001:3: TCL error: /Common/WEBSPHERETEST2 - invalid command name "}" while executing "}"

when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] if{[class match [HTTP::uri] starts_with URL_DATAGROUP]
{
pool WEBSPHERE_POOL_9086
}
else {
HTTP::respond 200 content {
Wrong URL
     }
    }
 }
}

Why are you trying to use a switch statement? The Datagroup is essentially an externalized switch. Did you try the syntax as I wrote originally? I'm not sure if it works for your case exactly.

Also, I do TCL prototyping with this site: http://codepad.org/

It's good for syntax and runtime validation but you have to adapt to and remove the F5 specific commands.

The switch statement was in the Websphere deployment guide. I had removed almost everything in the rule and it still wasn't working with what is below

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if{[class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with URL_DATAGROUP]
{
pool WEBSPHERE_POOL_9086
  }
 }
}
