REST Service Deployment and Redeployment of REST services in CentraSite
A REST service can be deployed to Mediator in two different modes: wsstack and axis-free.
The REST service deployment mode can be configured in the configuration file, centrasite.xml.
....
<DeploymentSettings>
<!-- axis-free or wsstack -->
<RestServiceStack>axis-free</RestServiceStack>
</DeploymentSettings>
...
The configured deployment value is exposed in the About page of CentraSite Business UI.
At deployment, the configured value is taken for generating the virtual REST service in Mediator. The resulting mode can also be viewed in the service page of Mediator.
At redeployment, the current state together with the configuration setting is used to determine the final deployment mode. Following table illustrates the behavior on a REST service redeployment:
