<subsection name="Objective">
<p>
APIs in Synapse provide a convenient approach for receiving and processing
REST traffic through the service bus. APIs can be used to receive specific
types of RESTful invocations and then process them through a set of user
defined resources. This sample is aimed at introducing the basic capabilities
of APIs and how they are configured to front existing services.
</p>
</subsection>
<subsection name="Pre-requisites">
<p>
<ul>
<li>
Deploy the SimpleStockQuoteService in the sample Axis2 server and start Axis2 Server
</li>
<li>
Start Synapse using the configuration numbered 800 (repository/conf/sample/synapse_sample_800.xml)
<div class="command">
Unix/Linux: sh synapse.sh -sample 800<br/>
Windows: synapse.bat -sample 800
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</p>
</subsection>
<subsection name="Executing the REST Client">
<p>
You might need a REST client like curl to test this
</p>
<div class="command">curl -v http://127.0.0.1:8280/stockquote/view/IBM</div>
<div class="command">curl -v http://127.0.0.1:8280/stockquote/view/MSFT</div>
<p>
The above GET calls will be handled by the first resource in the StockQuoteAPI.
These REST calls will get converted into SOAP calls and will be sent to the Axis2
server. Response will be sent to the client in POX format.
</p>
<p>
The following command POSTs a simple XML to the ESB. Save following sample place
order request as "placeorder.xml" file in your local file system and execute the
command. That is used to invoke a SOAP service. ESB returns the 202 response back to the client.
</p>
<div class="command">curl -v -d @placeorder.xml -H "Content-type: application/xml" http://127.0.0.1:8280/stockquote/order/</div>
<div class="xmlConf">&lt;placeOrder xmlns="http://services.samples"&gt;
&lt;order&gt;
&lt;price&gt;50&lt;/price&gt;
&lt;quantity&gt;10&lt;/quantity&gt;
&lt;symbol&gt;IBM&lt;/symbol&gt;
&lt;/order&gt;
&lt;/placeOrder&gt;</div>
