RESTWebService
This plugin has been deprecated.
Assemble and publish a REST web service endpoint by implementing its web methods through events using the RESTWebService function. The definition for the web service is imported through a Swagger API description file. The API description import creates one event for each path defined in the Swagger file.
Properties
API description
The Swagger specification as a JSON document.
Base URI
The URI location where the web service will be published. For
example:
http://localhost:8023/MyService
Settings
Allows to override the default values of various settings on the binding like timeouts and message size limits.
Eg.
The values above will set the operation timeout to 10 minutes (overriding the default of 1 minute), and set the maximum message size that the binding will process to 1,048,576 bytes (overriding the default of 65,536 bytes).
See Binding Settings below for the list of available settings.
Binding Settings
The following binding settings can be specified using the Settings property:
OpenTimeout
Default: 1 minute
The interval of time provided for a connection to open. This time span includes all necessary protocol negotiations etc.
CloseTimeout
Default: 1 minute
The interval of time provided for a connection to close. This time span includes all necessary protocol negotiations etc.
SendTimeout
Default: 1 minute
The interval of time provided for the entire service call to complete, from sending the request to receiving the response.
MaxReceivedMessageSize
Default: 65,536 bytes
The maximum size of received messages in bytes.
MaxBufferPoolSize
Default: 524,288 bytes
The maximum amount of memory, in bytes, allocated to the buffer manager for processing messages.
The buffer pool helps decrease the overhead due to memory allocation (and subsequent gargabe collection) while processing messages. A buffer pool size that is too small can cause degradation of performance due to extensive allocation from the CLR garbage heap.
MaxBufferSize
Default: 65,536 bytes
Sets the maximum size, in bytes, of the buffer that receives messages from the channel.
TextEncoding
Default: UTF8
The character encoding that is used for transmitting text.
Allowed values: BigEndianUnicode, Default, Unicode, UTF32,
UTF7, UTF8
TransferMode
Default: Buffered
Selects if messages are buffered or streamed.
Allowed values:
- Buffered
Request and response messages are both buffered.
- Streamed
Request and response messages are both streamed.
- StreamedRequest
The request message is streamed, and the response is buffered.
- StreamedResponse
The request message is buffered, and the response is streamed.
