Integration of ATG with Rest Web Services

Step 1: Create a folder say ‘REST’ in your project. 

Step 2: Create a sub-folder say ‘/config / atg /rest’ and again a sub-folder as ‘registry’ in your project.

Step 3: In registry folder, create a File with  “ ActorChainRestRegistry.properties ” name.

Step 4: In ActorChainRestRegistry.properties which is a out of box component contains all the OOB REST services registered by default, register all the URI’s that are customized/ added i.e.,mention the path of properties file with the required method names extended.

Step 5: That property file contains the path of the actor file as “definitionFile = aaa.xml”.

Step 6: Define all your actors in aaaActor.xml with required inputs and outputs.

Step 7: Provide the REST module in build modules of your build script

 

Sample ActorChainRestRegistry.properties:

registeredUrls+=\
/atg/userprofiling/ProfileActor/addresses,\
/atg/userprofiling/ProfileActor/creditCards,\
/atg/userprofiling/LoginActor/loginWithFB,\
/atg/userprofiling/LoginActor/loginloginWithFB-success,\
/atg/userprofiling/LoginActor/loginloginWithFB-error

 here LoginActor is our properties file and loginWithFB, loginloginWithFB-success, loginloginWithFB-error are the actor chains in the defined propertiesfile.

Sample LoginActor.properties

$class=atg.service.actor.ActorChainService //similar for all files

definitionFile=/atg/userprofiling/loginActorDefinition.xml

In the loginActorDefinition.xml we will define the actor chains.
