Using the REST Binding Component

This guide provides an overview of the REST Binding Component, and includes information and instructions for implementing, configuring, and deploying the binding component in a JBI project. The REST Binding Component provides connectivity for Representational State Transfer (REST) over HTTP in a JBI environment.
