Why aren't ServiceAcl calls reverse proxied through the service gateway?

I have a service with a descriptor like this:

private val uuidRegex =
    "^[a-fA-F0-9]{8}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{12}$" 

final override def descriptor: Descriptor = {
  import Service._

  named("foo")
    .withCalls(...)
    .withAcls(
      ServiceAcl(pathRegex = Some(s"/api/foos/$uuidRegex/upload"))
    )
    .withAutoAcl(autoAcl = true)
}

I find that any of the calls defined in withCalls are routed correctly through the service gateway and are servicable through port 9000.

The upload call, on the other hand, is not. I must explicitly make the call to the FooService instead of the gateway.

Is it possible to route all traffic through the gateway?

IIRC, withAutoAcl override custom Acls so adding withAutoAcl removes the custom ServiceAcl.

See for example: https://github.com/lagom/lagom-recipes/blob/master/file-upload/file-upload-scala-sbt/fileupload-api/src/main/scala/com/example/fileupload/api/FileuploadService.scala

Seems very sensible. :-) I’ll let you know tomorrow how it goes.

Edit

It seems like this doesn’t work. To make it closer to my real example…

final override def descriptor: Descriptor = {
  import Service._

  named("foo")
    .withCalls(
      restCall(
        Method.POST,
        "/api/foo/:fooId/uploads/:uploadId/update",
        updateFoo _
      ),
      restCall(
        Method.GET,
        "/api/foos/:fooId/uploads/:uploadId",
        getUploadInfo _
      )
    )
    .withAcls(
      // Corresponds to update
      ServiceAcl(pathRegex = Some(s"/api/foos/$uuidRegex/uploads/$uuidRegex/update")),
      // Corresponds to get
      ServiceAcl(pathRegex = Some(s"/api/foos/$uuidRegex/uploads/$uuidRegex")),
      // Corresponds to an upload -- just like the file upload recipe
      ServiceAcl(pathRegex = Some(s"/api/foos/$uuidRegex/submissions"))
    )
  }

When I submit a request, I get the following (truncated) HTML response:

<pre><span class="line">2</span><span class="route"><span class="verb">*</span><span class="path">/api/foos/^[a-fA-F0-9]{8}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{12}$/uploads/^[a-fA-F0-9]{8}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{12}$/update</span><span class="call">Service: foo (http://0.0.0.0:54671)</span></span></pre>

It was the anchors on the regex! When I removed them and the withAutoAcl, it works fine! You were right, @ignasi35.
