4.7.2.2. Services Configuration

The list of service methods that are available via the REST API must be configured in the CUBA application in files registered in the cuba.rest.servicesConfig application property of the web or portal module (e.g in the web-app.properties file):

cuba.rest.servicesConfig = +com/company/myapp/rest-services.xml

The content of the rest-services.xml must be placed to the root package of the web or portal module (e.g. com.company.myapp). Its content is defined by the rest-services-v2.xsd schema, for example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<services xmlns="http://schemas.haulmont.com/cuba/rest-services-v2.xsd">
    <service name="myapp_SomeService">
        <method name="sum">
            <param name="number1"/>
            <param name="number2"/>
        </method>
        <method name="emptyMethod"/>
        <method name="overloadedMethod">
            <param name="intParam" type="int"/>
        </method>
        <method name="overloadedMethod">
            <param name="stringParam" type="java.lang.String"/>
        </method>
    </service>
</services>

Method parameter types can be omitted if the service doesn’t contain an overloaded method with the same number of parameters. Otherwise, types must be defined.

An example of how to configure and invoke a service can be found in the Service Method Invocation (GET) chapter.
