Hello:
I am using OpenEdge 11.7 64 bit but do not have PAS for OpenEdge license.
I would like to create a REST API with the Annotations approach (I am aware the new Web Handler approach with PAS for OE is better, but I do not have a license for PAS).
Could someone please point me to the correct documentation or a video tutorial that acts as a guide for creating a REST API only using the Classic AppServer and a REST Adapter? Perhaps with a sample application?
Thank you,
h
Hello,
The following document might be helpful:
- community.progress.com/.../3363
It use PAS for OpenEdge but you can do the same steps with Classic AppServer.
The following videos use 11.6 but it can be useful to learn the concepts:
- community.progress.com/.../2738
- community.progress.com/.../2739
I hope this helps.
Thank you @EGarcia. This partly answers my question, but I am also fuzzy on how to replicate "same steps with Classic AppServer."
I understand if I were to follow the Classic AppServer approach, I would need to configure a REST Adapter and a Web Server, as well.
I am looking at possibly a comprehensive picture of the entire setup, with a small/sample application to work with.
Any thoughts?
Hi,
Following documentation gives you details about creating and deploying a REST application in Classic AppServer approach:
documentation.progress.com/.../index.html
Few more details about REST application:
docplayer.net/11231559-Progress-openedge-rest.html
There is a step-by-step tutorial available online on the Progress Education site.
In lesson 2, you will learn how to create a REST Web application from an existing Progress OpenEdge ABL application. First, you will learn, how to annotate ABL resources and create a REST service. Next, you will learn how to map REST operations with ABL operations. Then, you will learn how to publish and test a REST service. Finally, you will learn how to export a REST Web application for deployment.
Hope, this helps.
Thanks,
