Does backend systems (WSRR, DP, ODM, MDM, IIB, etc) support Restful web services? I know they support Soap!

Also, if my application is developed using IIB, WSRR, Data Power etc with SOAP web services, can they be converted to Restful web services? Is that a possibility?

Thanks!

  • have you tried to read [this](http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/techjournal/0903_peterson/0903_peterson.html) ? - or tried google for the other parts of your question? – Stefan Hegny Feb 09 '17 at 21:08
  • Of course I did! But not much luck. Very little information is available on IIB V10 – user3845894 Feb 13 '17 at 14:16
  • Datapower able to make all the things with HTTP you can imagine. Since REST is based on HTTP - yes at least DP supports it. – kirill.login Jun 23 '17 at 07:07

Yes, they support RESTful web services.

For the second part of your question, SOAP services can be converted to REST in them; for some it's easy (e.g. ODM) and for some, it requires some work (e.g. IIB).

  • Okay. And is there any article that discusses how to convert the SOAP services to REST in IIB? I tried to find something but not much luck. – user3845894 Feb 13 '17 at 14:16
  • I don't think you can find one. In summary, you should reimplement your flow, but start it with an HTTPInput node and end it with an HTTPReply node, instead of SOAPInput/SOAPReply nodes. It also changes your data format from SOAP to JSON, so you have to modify your transformation logic accordingly. – uoyilmaz Feb 16 '17 at 08:35
