REST Webservices
WSDL 2.0 HTTP Binding defines a way to implement REST (Representational State Transfer) with Web services. Axis2 implements the most defined HTTP binding specification. REST Web services are a reduced subset of the usual Web service stack.
The Axis2 REST implementation assumes the following properties:
- REST Web services are Synchronous and Request Response in nature.
- When REST Web services are accessed via GET, the service and the operations are identified based on the URL. The parameters are assumed as parameters of the Web service. In this case, the GET based REST Web services support only simple types as arguments and it should adhere to the IRI style.
- POST based Web services do not need a SOAP Envelope or a SOAP Body. REST Web Services do not have Headers and the payload is sent directly.
Axis2 can be configured as a REST Container and can be used to send and receive RESTful Web service requests and responses. REST Web services can be accessed using HTTP GET and POST.
