Adding REST Resources to a REST API Descriptor

You can include additional REST resources in any RAD. Keep the following information in mind when selecting REST resources to add to a RAD:

A RAD can include resources created using the URL template-based approach (REST V2 resources). The descriptor cannot include a combination of REST resources created using both the approaches.

A RAD does not support duplicate variable names in the input parameters or output parameters. The RAD uses only the first variable with a particular name and ignores subsequent identically named variables. Note that a variable in the input parameters can have the same name as a variable in the output parameters.
