Providing Progress OpenEdge Applications as REST Web Applications

Representation State Transfer (REST) uses unified resource identifiers (URIs) to identify resources and uses HTTP protocols to act upon resources. In Progress OpenEdge, you can develop your own OpenEdge application using ABL and you can provide select methods, procedures, classes, or even the entire application as a REST Web application. In this course, you will learn how you can expose your OpenEdge ABL application using REST and then publish the application on Pacific Application Server for OpenEdge (PAS for OpenEdge) in a development environment.

This course is available as Instructor-Led Training and online with a subscription to the Progress Education Community.

After completing this course you should be able to:

• Describe OpenEdge REST architecture.
• Provide an OpenEdge ABL application as a REST web application.
• Publish a REST Web application in a development environment.

You should already be able to:

• Create an OpenEdge ABL application
• Work with Progress OpenEdge Developer Studio
