5 Implement Common Patterns Using the REST Adapter

You can use the REST Adapter to implement the following common patterns.

Differences Between Implementation Patterns and Recipes

Unclear about the difference between implementation patterns and recipes? Both assets provide different solutions.

• Implementation patterns describe a common use for this adapter. The pattern can range from a simple configuration task (such as how to configure a specific security policy for this adapter) to a high level overview of how to use this adapter in an integration.

• Recipes, known as prebuilt integrations, are preassembled, easily installable, integration solutions. A recipe contains all the resources required for a specific integration scenario. The resources include integration flows, adapter connections, lookups, and certificates. Use a recipe to quickly get started building an integration. See the Recipes and Accelerators page on the Oracle Help Center.
