09/14/2023, 6:55 AMHello! Is there a way to serve a default bodyfile if the requested file does not exist? I saw Tom’s answer on stackoverflow, but that requires creating an extension. Is it still the only possible solution?
I’m currently using wiremock-standalone-3.0.0

09/14/2023, 10:20 AMOh interesting, any docs for this? Did you mean extending wiremock with my specifics and then packaging to run as stand-alone?

09/14/2023, 10:58 AMThanks but can you please elaborate on this “Or code-generating the configuration on startup”. Didn’t quite get what you meant

09/14/2023, 11:01 AMIt can be done in Java code using extension or a startup wrapper code. You can also write a short script that would generate the stubs definition JSON that would return responses for existing files, and then add a lower-priority matcher for the remaining requests.

09/14/2023, 11:03 AMAh I see, I will be going ahead with extension. Thank you!
