Web services
Web services have been completely reprogrammed in version 9, and provide extra functionality now.
Not only can you call an external web service (consume), but you can also use the Blueriq rule engine to create your own web service (expose).
Two types of communication protocols are supported: SOAP 1.1 and REST. It is furthermore possible to create your application inside the web service module, making complicated mappings unnecessary.
You can find more information on what we support in our Datasheet.
When you are going to experiment with web services for the first time, you might find the Web service visuals very helpful in understanding how web services work.
Below a schematic outline is given of the default connectivity methods of Blueriq.
The green lines are the most common.
| Transfer Protocol | Message Type | Message Structure |
|---|---|---|
| SOAP | XML | XSD |
REST | XML | XSD |
REST | XML | Domain Schema |
| REST | JSON | Domain Schema |
| REST | Single Value | n/a |
