The REST API provides access to business objects and integration object structures. A handler class for each resource is registered in a system property.
The handler classes for the business object and object structure resources are registered in the mxe.rest.handler.mbo system property and the mxe.rest.handler.os system property.
You can extend handlers for custom processing. You can create handlers for other resource types, and for individual instances of business object resources or object structure resources.
REST API resources are addressed by using resource identifiers that are part of the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). The URIs are used to address the entities that are represented as REST resources.
For example, the following URI accesses a collection of Person business objects. The mbo indicates the business object resource type and person is the resource:
.../maxrest/rest/mbo/personFor another example, the following URI accesses a collection of data for the Person object structure. The os indicates the object structure resource type and mxperson is the resource:
.../maxrest/rest/os/mxperson
