Templates Tab

On this tab, you can configure the templates for the query part of the URI and for the request body. The two templates are independent of each other.

This tab is subdivided into two further tabs:

• Query

  You can specify a JSON string here that must start with a ?. The JSON character string you enter here is appended later to the endpoint URI.

  The query template is used together with the endpoint URI to form the complete URL when a particular Web service is called.

  Leading and trailing slashes are optional in the query template. The default data type of the input variables is string. However, you can specify one of the permitted primitive Web service data types.

  For more information, see Templates Tab.

• Request

  You can enter data for the message body of the request here. This request template uses the same syntax but is sent as part of the request body. To be able to configure it, you must select a method that is allowed for the request body:

  • PUT

  • MERGE

  • PATCH

  • DELETE

  • POST

  The Message Configuration table remains empty and is disabled when you make an entry in the request template.

Every change in the templates updates the list of input variables.
