TIBCO ActiveMatrix Binding Type for REST Overview
TIBCO ActiveMatrix Binding Type for REST allows you to map SCA services to REST, so that thin clients like scripting, mobile, and Web clients can directly invoke these services.
TIBCO ActiveMatrix Binding Type for REST makes client development simpler and cheaper by not requiring a SOAP stack on client side. Clients can use HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and POST with XML or JSON to invoke backend SCA services. During configuration, users can choose the XML, JSON, or BJSON media type in TIBCO Business Studio UI.
When you configure a SOAP service, WSDL becomes the contract between service provider and consumer. In contrast, REST service providers do not use WSDL but use out of band mechanisms such as sample payloads to communicate with REST service consumers. This release of TIBCO ActiveMatrix Binding Type for REST does not include tools for generating these payloads but includes an example and documentation.
