Configuring a REST Resource Using the URL Template-Based Approach
Starting with version 10.0 of Designer, you can use the URL template-based approach to configure REST resources for an existing Integration Server service. You need to specify:
The format of the URL that your applications must follow when sending requests to
Integration Server acting as the REST server. The URL format functions as a template for the application requests to the REST server.
The HTTP methods that the REST resource will support.
The URL template-based approach provides you with greater flexibility than the legacy approach in defining REST resources. For an existing service, you can define multiple REST resources and associate each resource with a URL format of your choice and HTTP methods. In addition, you can edit the URL format associated with a REST resource based on your requirements.
REST resources configured using the URL template-based approach are invoked with the restv2 directive.
Note: | Unlike for a REST resource created using legacy approach, Designer does not create a separate folder or flow services corresponding to the supported HTTP methods for a REST resource that uses the URL template-based approach. |
Note: | A REST resource configured using the URL template-based approach cannot be used in a REST API descriptor. |
