This section provides information about the format of collection and map values in response messages from the Legacy REST Web Services server.
Expanding Multiple Values and Complex Objects
The Legacy REST Web Services server returns multiple-values and complex objects as REST paths by default. Include the atg-rest-show-rest-paths control parameter to expand these values in the response you receive. Set the value of the control parameter to true.
If you set atg-rest-show-rest-paths to false, the REST response will include expanded data for nested properties down to the level specified by the atg-rest-depth control parameter. See Return Depth.
You can configure the default setting for atg-rest-show-rest-paths.
The example below shows a REST path in the creditCards property. The example that follows it shows the effect of the atg-rest-show-rest-paths control parameter.

The example below shows a collection value that has been expanded. The Legacy REST Web Services request sets the atg-rest-show-rest-paths control parameter to false.
