10.4. Considerations for Generated REST Services

If you defined a procedure that returns a XML content, then REST service call must be called with "accepts" HTTP header of "application/xml". Also, if you defined a procedure that returns a JSON content and PRODUCES property is defined "json" then HTTP client call must include the "accepts" header of "application/json". In the situations where "accepts" header is missing, and only one procedure is defined with unique path, that procedure will be invoked. If there are multiple procedures with same URI path, for example one generating XML and another generating JSON content, then "accepts" header directs the REST engine as to which procedure will be invoked to get the results. A wrong "accepts" header will result in error.

Warning

Ensure the number of parameters defined on the URI must match to the parameters defined on procedure definition. An error with parameter definition will result in procedure being skipped from generation of REST based service or error with 'GET' based methods. 'POST' methods do not need to be defined with URI paths, the procedure parameters are automatically added as @FormParam annotations on the generated procedure.
