Local fix
Problem summary
REST interfaces have become much more common in the industry. REST interfaces format their data using JSON instead of the XML that was used for SOAP. Without the ability to parse JSON responses and to optionally include JSON data in POST requests, the user can not access these interfaces.
Problem conclusion
Enhance the "SOAP" provider to properly handle JSON data. The Agent Builder SOAP browser now understands JSON data and will properly add the appropriate xpath information to allow the data to be parsed correctly into attributes. The runtime now understands these xpaths and can properly parse response data. In order to handle more REST interfaces, the SOAP editor has been enhanced to allow the user to specify JSON POST data content and to add request header information. This is available by default in the SOAP data provider. The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance packages: | interim fix | 6.3.5-TIV-ITM_ABLDR-IF0002
