Webservice Versioning

version-namespace is used so the url contains a version number.

/services/apexrest/notify/v1/*

The purpose of each version is to guarantee the same behaviour across version number

• Http Verb : POST
• Headers
  • Authorization : Bearer <access_token>
• URI
  • The name of the service. ex : /services/apexrest/notify/v1/example
• Body
  • The content of the call. (structure depends on the Resource reached)

Response

• Status Code :
  • 202 accepted
  • 500 Internal Server Error
• Body : contains two attributs : data and *error. *Both are array of objects. When error is set, data is null. When data is set, error is null
  • data : contains an array of object. Service called design the Structure of the object in the array
  • errors : contains an array of error (code and message). Code is functional code and message is the related message

Create a class (and the related test class) extending rest_RestHandler. Use the attribut req to get the request content and do the treatment you need Use the attribut res to modify the response following Add result in the responseContent attribut of the class using this.responseContent.data.add(); the rest_ApexRouter.RouterRestResponse structure
