SOAP&REST Protocal

[madhupusala3]

Hi All,

What are differences between SOAP and REST protocol? does PI supports REST? If Yes then how to implement it in PI

Hello,

does PI supports REST?

In its strickest sense, you can only implement the HTTP method POSTfor REST Webservices using the Plain HTTP/HTTP over SOAP Adapter. Otherwise, you have to use Java Proxies to implement GET,PUT and DELETE.

Another approach is to use the XI SOAP Axis libraries, as far as I know GET is included. However, there are limited blogs about this see, SAP Note 1039369 FAQ XI Axis Adapter for more information.

Hope this helps,

Mark

@Bhaskar -

You can write ABAP code to achieve this.
