Managing Dynamic REST Endpoints

You can allow a client application to communicate with Loftware Enterprise SP to request or send data by using a REST endpoint. For each dynamic REST endpoint, you specify a business rule that should be run when the REST endpoint is requested. This business rule can perform actions, process data passed into the data map by the requesting client application, and post return values to the data map to be passed back to the client application.

You can use REST endpoints to perform common user interface actions, return data from the associated business rule, submit a print request, get the job status for a print request, or request PNG images from Loftware Enterprise SP. Any script in the associated business rule may use either the Nashorn or Rhino JavaScript engine.

Important! For a business rule used to manage SAP GLM+ integration, use the Nashorn JavaScript engine. For more information, see Managing SAP GLM+ Integration.
