Publish REST service with multiple resources
Publish a service with several resources.
To publish a service that has many resources, in the service's main module you code to:
- Import all the service resource modules.
- Call on the
com.WebServiceEngine.RegisterRestResources
method to register the resources of the service. - Call on the
com.WebServiceEngine.Start
method to start the service.
Web service main module
This is an example of a module that runs a Web service. The IMPORT FGL
statement
imports the service resource modules.
In the call to the RegisterRestResources()
method, the GWS REST engine registers
the Web service resource modules for the REST service. In the example, "fruits" is the public name
of the REST service, which users will see in the service's URI endpoints.
In the call to ProcessServices()
, the service process starts within a
WHILE
loop. The GWS REST engine processes requests for resources and handles Web service engine errors. The Web service runs
until interrupted.
