THE DEVELOPER PORTAL FOR SOA
THE DEVELOPER PORTAL FOR SOA
Hi all,
Currently Axis2c handles rest style invocations with GET as follows.
The request URL for the REST GET would be as
"http://host:port/axis2/services/service_name/operation name ? arguments"
But in case of a php service , the .php file will be the service and
after that we will have the "?"
So we need to come up with a convention on how to pass the operation
name along with parameters after "?".
Any Ideas will be greatly appreciated.

[wsf-c-dev] [wsf-php] How to handle a rest get with a php servic
Under default settings, PHP engine gets invoked through web server (httpd) based on the file extension in the request url. I think, we need to find out the answer to the following question in order to support service/method?arguments
How does the web server know that it should pass the request to PHP engine (and then to wsf/php extension) based on the REST request url?

API is not RESTful because the URI base is not identifying the actual
operation to execute.
Nandika, can you explain why its a problem to support this in PHP? If the
PHP file is the service then all that's needed is for that php file to do
the next step dispatching itself AFAICT.
