Virtual REST Service Compatibility

CentraSite User's Guide : Runtime Governance : Virtual Service Asset Management : Managing Virtual Service Assets through CentraSite Business UI : Virtual REST Service Management : Virtual REST Service Compatibility

Beginning with version 9.7, CentraSite supports the enhanced interface for Virtual REST Services (in contrast, earlier versions of CentraSite supported a standardized interface for Virtual REST Service). Documentation of the prior Virtual REST Service interface is available to CentraSite customers who have a current maintenance contract in Empower Product Support website.

If you Migrate Virtual REST Services from a Pre-9.7 Release: If you have Virtual REST Services that were created prior to CentraSite version 9.7, these Virtual REST Services will continue to hold the version's metadata in the enhanced Virtual REST Service interface implemented by current version of CentraSite.

To invoke the migrated Virtual REST Service, the client would use the following URL syntax:

http://localhost:5555/ws/VSName/ResourceName

If you Migrate Virtual REST Services from a 9.7 Release: If you have Virtual REST Services that were created in the CentraSite version 9.7 using the CentraSite Business UI, these Virtual REST Services will again continue to hold the version's metadata in the enhanced Virtual REST Service interface implemented by current version of CentraSite. However, you will find the following information in the migrated Virtual REST Service:

The sample request and response messages that existed under the REST Method display without changes.

The status codes that existed under the REST Method will now display under the REST Response.

To invoke the migrated Virtual REST Service, the client would use the following URL syntax:

http://localhost:5555/ws/VSName/ResourcePath

Note:

Beginning with version 9.8, although CentraSite supports the existing REST Sample Requests and Responses, we enforce you use the REST Requests and REST Responses to specify additional details about the REST payload. You may use the Sample Requests and Responses if required.
