Option | Description | ||
Project | Click Browse and select a CloudStreams Governance project in which to create the service. | ||
Name | Assign a name for the service. Unlike native services, the names of virtual services cannot contain spaces or special characters except _ (underscore) and - (hyphen). Consequently, if you adopt a convention that involves using the name of the service as part of the virtual service name, then the names of the services themselves must not contain characters that are invalid in virtual service names.
| ||
Version | The version is always set to 1.0. | ||
Service Type | Select REST. | ||
Description | Optional. A description for the service. This description appears when a user displays a list of services in the user interface. |
Option | Description | ||
Resource | Specify the name of the REST resource that the service will access.
| ||
HTTP Methods | (Read-only field.) The HTTP methods that the virtual service should be allowed to perform on the REST resource (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE). You specify the HTTP methods when you configure the virtual service's Entry Step. | ||
Content Type | (Read-only field.) Application/xml or Application/json. | ||
Query String | Specify the search string as required. Any text typed in is not case sensitive. This field is used only for documentation purposes at this time. It is not included in the service's "virtual service definition" (VSD) that is deployed to CloudStreams, so this value has no impact at runtime. | ||
Import from | Import the schemas that the virtual service will use. Choose one of the following options. (To select multiple schemas, click the plus button to add a row.) URL: Specify the URL of a schema and click the Add button. Optionally choose the following option: URL authentication: If you have specified a URL, and the site you want to access via the URL requires user authentication, select this option. This opens an Authentication sub-dialog in which you can enter a user name and password for authentication at the URL site. File: Click Browse to select a schema from your local file system. |
