Using REST

You can send and receive RESTful messages through the ESB using the HTTP and HTTPS transports (other transports such as the Local transport are not supported). The following topics describe the various scenarios for using REST.

• Using REST with a Proxy Service
• Using the REST API

You can also use the HTTP endpoint to define REST endpoints using URI templates similar to the REST API.

Additionally, the following samples demonstrate using REST with the ESB:

• Sample 50: POX to SOAP conversion
• Sample 152: Switching Transports and Message Format from SOAP to REST POX
• Sample 800: Introduction to REST API
