Sample RESTful Web Service Profile Workflow

This profile covers two main scenarios:

  • Making RESTful requests
  • Receiving RESTful requests

The following describes the profile workflow:

  1. The REST Client route picks up a request from the file system and submits the data to the RESTful Web Server.
  2. The RESTFul Service route receives the HTTP request, forms an HTTP response, and sends the data back to the REST Client route.
  3. The REST Client route saves the resulting response to the file system.

This profile contains the following routes:

This route picks up the a request from the file system, submits the data to a RESTful Web Service using the XEServer REST Client route component, and saves the response in the file system.

HTTP Request FS Inbound Picks up a request from the file system.
REST Client Rest Client Sends the incoming data to a RESTful Service for processing.
HTTP Response FS Outbound Receives the resulting data from the RESTful Service and saves the data to the file system.

The route receives an HTTP request, processes the data and sends back an HTTP response with a status code.

The connection between the route component REST Client and RESTful Web Service endpoints must be configured in each of the components by providing a proper URI to Restful Web Service. By default, the value is set to https://localhost:11123/rest.

Component Name Component Type Description
RESTful Web Service Inbound RESTful Web Service Inbound Receives an HTTP requests.
Get Response file Mock Velocity Emulates data processing and forms a response.
RESTful Web Service Outbound RESTful Web Service Outbound Sends the resulting response back to the route REST Client in the form of an HTTP response.
