Setting up your own REST service

Previous Next

This help topic tells you how to set up a REST service that is NOT predefined, that is, a REST service that you generate yourself from SQL or that you program yourself as a custom REST service.

By default, non-predefined REST services are based on the "USoft REST Default Provider" Functional Type that USoft ships with the Service Definer product. Alternatively, you may want to use a different USoft-shipped Functional Type, or you may prefer to create your own Functional Type.

If you use the "USoft REST Default Provider" Functional Type, you can use the "Generate from SQL" utility to have a first working version of the target code generated by USoft. For an example of this, go to " Example: a REST service for retrieving data ".
