Create a REST proxy that invokes a SOAP service
In the previous section, we looked at the method of exposing an existing SOAP service as a SOAP API proxy. That method works for our consumers who are still using SOAP services. But we should also cater to the demands of our more modern or evolving consumers who have shifted to REST services. Continuing our journey, let's now explore the methods in APIC to make available a sample SOAP service as a REST proxy API and satisfy our more modern consumers. APIC provides simple methods to expose an existing SOAP service as a REST API. Let's dive into learning these methods.
Creating a REST proxy
Similar to the starting steps that you took while creating a SOAP proxy earlier, go ahead and start your LTE environment, open API Designer, connect to your workspace, and connect to your LTE environment. After that, follow these steps:
- In the Develop APIs and products tile of API Designer, go to Add | API. In the Select API type...
