REST (Representative State Transfer) with HTTP Adapter from XI

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am currently working on several Webservice Topics inside XI and we used until no only SOAP as adapter type and technology. The REST style of software architecture is a quite interesting model which would allow us a mutch easier whay of implementation.

To work with the HTTP Adapter is in general a good idea but how to implement the different HTTP methods for sending the request and how to set and read the different parameters when receiving a REST request.

Does anyone of you made some experience with that?

Or has any ideas?

Hi,

thanks for your informations but in fact this would not be a solution, this would be a workaround for XI being a requestor. With this XI would be able to send request using standard HTTP methos but XI would not be able to receive REST requests with the various HTTP methods.

Anyhow, I will test the implementation for this HTTPCLient.
