rest-services.json

This is the file referred to by the config.js as restConf. It is read on Masterportal start-up and kept in memory. Modules may then refer to the web service definitions in it.

The file defines all web services that do not belong to OGC services like WMS and WFS; that is, all services not requested for visually representing data. See our master restConf file for an example.

Name	Required	Type	Default	Description	Example
id	yes	String		Unique rest-services.json entry ID	"1"
name	yes	String		Service name	"CSW Summary"
typ	yes	String		Service type	"CSW"
url	yes	String		Service URL	"http://metaver.de/trefferanzeige?docuuid="

Usually defined services

1. Print services
2. Metadata sources (CSW HMDK)
3. BKG geocoding service
4. Gazetteer URL
5. WPS
6. Email Services

In some scenarios different URLs are required, depending on whether requests are sent from an Intranet or the Internet. This can be solved by providing two files only differing in their service URLs. While filenames can be chosen freely, we suggest using these names:

• rest-services-internet.json
• rest-services-intranet.json

rest-services-internet.json example file

[
  {
    "id": "1",
    "name": "CSW HMDK Summary",
    "url": "http://metaver.de/csw?service=CSW&version=2.0.2&request=GetRecordById&typeNames=csw:Record&elementsetname=summary",
    "typ": "CSW"
  },
  {
    "id" : "2",
    "name" : "Metadata URL",
    "url" : "http://metaver.de/trefferanzeige?docuuid=",
    "typ" : "URL"
  }
]
