HTTP verb functions

Use HTTP verb functions to retrieve the HTTP verb and the resource path segments that are used in a request. The HTTP verb functions are available under the

Request Context

section of the Expression Editor.

You can use the following HTTP verb functions:

getRequestHTTPVerb: Use the
getRequestHTTPVerb
function to determine the HTTP verb that is used in a request. The function retrieves the HTTP verb from the request and returns one of the following responses in a string format:
GET
POST
PATCH
PUT
DELETE
getResourcePathSegments: Use the
getResourcePathSegments
function to retrieve all or specific resource path segments of REST requests. The function returns the values as a string of tokens.

For example, consider the following request URL:

https://na1.ai.dm-us.informaticacloud.com/active-bpel/rt/InitiateOrder/Orders/OrderID_100/quantity/5

If you use the
request:getResourcePathSegments()
expression, you see the following response:

[Orders, OrderID_100, quantity, 5]

To retrieve a specific resource path segment, use a numeric qualifier to denote the position of the resource path segment from the process name.

For example, to retrieve the
OrderID_100
segment alone in the response, use the following expression:

request:getResourcePathSegments()[2]

You cannot use the
getResourcePathSegments
function to fetch the resource path segments of SOAP requests and message events. You cannot use the
getResourcePathSegments
function to fetch the host context.
