As discussed earlier, HTTP requests and responses are the way that the ATG REST Web Services communicate. The following HTTP methods are used and supported byATG REST Web Services:
Method | Explanation |
|---|---|
GET | Use this method to return data. Examples of the values you may get are repository item and Nucleus component property values, RQL query results, repository items, and Nucleus components. |
POST | Use this method to invoke functionality or make changes to your Oracle ATG Web Commerce platform server. For example, you may invoke methods, update Nucleus component properties, and create repository items. |
PUT | (Legacy REST Only) Use this method to make changes to your Oracle ATG Web Commerce platform server. For example, you may update repository item and Nucleus component property values. |
DELETE | (Legacy REST Only) Use this method to remove repository items. |
For additional information on these and other HTTP methods, refer to the W3 definitions, available at http://www.w3.org.
