Using Predefined REST services

Previous Next

A predefined REST service is a REST service of which the functionality is largely supplied by USoft.

You define such a service by basing it on one of the ready-made Functional Types that USoft ships with the Service Definer product. Using these ready-made Functional Types allows you to create general-purpose REST services quickly with a minimum of programming and debugging effort.

The most important Functional Types that USoft ships for predefined REST services are:

"USoft Table Resource" for basic browsing and manipulation of table data in your USoft application.

"USoft Job Resource" for calling batch jobs defined in your USoft application.

 

Predefined REST services have predefined methods that may be inspected in the ".wadl" file but are not listed in the USoft Definer windows interface. Only methods of custom REST services may be inspected in the windows interface.
