In this post, we are going to cover What is REST in SOA 12c and Steps to Create REST in SOA 12c which is one of the new features in SOA 12c. For those who are new, REST stands for Representational State Transfer.

What is REST in SOA 12c:

REST is an Architectural style in which a web service can only be treated as a RESTful service if it follows the constraints of being

1. Client-Server
2. Stateless
3. Cacheable
4. Layered System
5. Uniform Interface

In SOA 12c we can develop and integrate external REST API’s that supports XML, JSON and URL-encoded GET/POST data support.
