The Oracle ATG Web Commerce platform REST Web Services calls are executed within the context of an HTTP session. This enables a client application to maintain state across requests and to use login information for security purposes.
The RestSession class contains all the logic required for connecting and communicating with an Oracle ATG Web Commerce server.
The following code creates a new RestSession object:
RestSession session = RestSession.createSession(host, port, username, password);
Note: You can perform multiple REST Web Services requests during an HTTP session. See information about HTTP sessions and the REST Web Services server in Logging In.
