Invoking an endpoint from a flow

A service, or endpoint definition can be referenced in a flow from a REST Client node, Source node, Request node, or Target node.

In most cases it is most convenient to use the REST Client node to invoke an envoint. To configure a REST Client node to use a service, set the node settings as follows:
  • Configuration Mode - Specify Service Definition.
  • Service - Select the service from the list.
  • Endpoint - Select the endpoint from the list.
  • Authentication - To use the authentication scheme defined in the service, specify "Use Endpoint Definition". Alternatively, you can override the scheme defined in the service and select an alternate scheme.

Any input parameters defined in the service or endpoint are automatically brought into the property settings of the node, together with the default values for the parameters.

Any output parameters defined in the endpoint are automatically brought into the Response Assignments table of the node.
