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:
  1. Import all the service resource modules.
  2. Call on the com.WebServiceEngine.RegisterRestResources method to register the resources of the service.
  3. Call on the com.WebServiceEngine.ProcessServices() 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.

IMPORT com
# resource modules
IMPORT FGL apple
IMPORT FGL peach
