Data Object services support the following operations:

  • Read—A standard HTTP operation that returns records to the client. It also supports server-side preprocessing to filter data, sort data, or, page through data.

Note: Server-side filtering, sorting, and paging are very useful when dealing with a large number of records.

  • Create, Update, Delete—Standard HTTP operations that create, update, or delete a record as per a client request.
  • Submit—A standard HTTP operation that can create, update, and delete multiple records in a single request.
  • Invoke—A custom operation that enables you to go beyond the limitations of standard HTTP operations and execute any other method in the Business Entity other than the standard operations.
Note: The Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations use the POST, GET, PUT, and DELETE HTTP methods respectively.
