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. {"SendTimeout":"00:10:00","MaxReceivedMessageSize":"1048576"}

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.
