Hi,
i have customer which is using simple REST webservices. As there are many, we are considering using HTTP adapter, let's say Proxy-to-HTTP scenarios. Customer has some simple web service which expects HTTP GET with parameter in URL or POST with some data in Body of HTTP protocol. Parameter is simple, date and url looks like server.domain.hr/some_path/?date=29.04.2011
With help of prolog(hardcoded) i got following HTTP protocol:
POST / HTTP/1.0 content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-2 content-length: 152 connection: close accept: */* user-agent: SAP NetWeaver Application Server (1.0;711) host: 10.3.64.75:8080 accept-encoding: gzip &datum=28.04.2011<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-2"?> <ns0:DatumStr_Req xmlns:ns0="urn:xxx.hr:Proxy_to_HTTP">?datum=28.04.2011</ns0:DatumStr_Req>
Customer is claiming that this should work, only not to send XML in body, means only "&datum=28.04.2011" or use
HTTP GET with parameter &datum=28.04.2011.
My question is, is this doobale in SAP PI with help of HTTP and which way is better?
Also, is there any parameter in which can I with help of DynamicConfiguration change Prolog and/OR Epilog?
Also how to send empty message , because then it would work, according to customer.
thx

Hello,
Had a scenario that is very similar to yours. But the one that was used for us was that we are connecting to a jsp page that uses rest webservices.
Customer has some simple web service which expects HTTP GET with parameter in URL or POST with some data in Body of HTTP protocol. Parameter is simple, date and url looks like server.domain.hr/some_path/?date=29.04.2011
The get is easier since the parameters are placed in the URL. For POST, what you need to do is to use Java Mapping to generate the HTTP Body (prologpayloadepilog). We did not use the Plain HTTP Adapter because it is not possible to use dynamic values in an HTTP destination. So SOAP Adapter with No SOAP envelope was used.
With regards to sending an empty message, it is possible to send an empty payload but not an empty HTTP Body.
Hope this helps,
Mark
