REST interface

The REST interface allows for lightweight clients, that do not have support for EJB and web services, to perform actions on content and metadata by using HTTP requests.

Note: WSRR does not support the REST API being invoked from a plug-in. Instead, use the API delegates. For more information, please see the Related Reference section.
  • For content:
    • Create
    • Retrieve
    • Update
    • Delete
  • For metadata:
    • Retrieve
    • Update (includes create)
    • Delete
    • Query

You can test the REST interface using tools that allow GET, POST, PUT and DELETE methods to be invoked, and can pass data in the body of the request.

The REST interface is described in the following subtopics:
