REST Dispatch and Reply Regular Activity REST Service Binding Service Binding Supported with limitations This This ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x Dispatch and Reply REST activity is migrated to REST Service Binding of TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition .

REST Service of TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition uses XSD as the resource for building REST Service. The XSD must be external to the WSDL. That is, direct reference to inline schema in WSDL is not supported for REST binding.

If the Dispatch and Reply activity is configured to route requests to ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x processes with inline schema for its input, output and fault, then the TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition Migration Tool currently does not externalize the inline schema before configuring the REST binding. You can manually externalize the inline schema and re-create the REST binding.

TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition also does not support the following:
  • Enable WADL Reference
  • Enable OAuth
  • Parameter styles-Template and Header
Note: For more information about additional restrictions, see Restrictions on XML Schema in TIBCO BusinessWorks™ Container Edition Bindings and Palettes Reference.
