Create/Edit Resource Handler

This dialog box is displayed if you right-click on the resource template name in the RESTful Services Administration pane and select New Handler, then the method type (GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE), or if you edit an existing handler. (If a handler already exists, the menu item for that method type is disabled.) The specific options depend on the method type.

Method: HTTP request method for this handler: GET (retrieves a representation of a resource), POST (creates a new resource or adds a resource to a collection), PUT (updates an existing resource), or DELETE (deletes an existing resource). Only one handler for each HTTP method is permitted.

Requires Secure Access: Indicates whether the resource should be accessed through a secure channel such as HTTPS.

Source Type: Source implementation for the selected HTTP method:

Data Format: If the Source Type is Query Source, the Data Format that is available is JSON or CSV.

Pagination Size (GET handler): Default pagination size for the module's resource templates: size of the pagination window, or the number of rows to return for a database query.

MIME Types (PUT and POST handlers): Content types.
