If you are not already familiar with Oracle ATG Web Commerce web services offerings, in particular the REST web services in the REST module, see the ATG Web Services Guide. This document assumes you are familiar with the REST module.
The Store.Mobile.REST module encapsulates the REST configuration and customizations required for communication between iOS applications and Oracle ATG Web Commerce server, in JSON format. This communication is achieved through:
Configuring direct access to appropriate components.
Configuring direct access to appropriate
FormHandlersand their handle methods.
Note: Aggregated responses are created differently in this release, with actors and actor chains.
Security is provided through standard REST security controls and access control servlets. See the sections REST Security Configuration and Access Control and Personalization, which follow.
The technical design goals for the Store.Mobile.REST module within CRS-IUA include but are not limited to:
Avoidance of code duplication through reuse of existing components where possible
Provision of some component access to anonymous users, in addition to the protection of user data and the prevention of any malicious use of data.
Optimization of performance in the mobile environment through the minimization of client-server round trips and response payload.
