Annotate ABL resources for creating a REST service

The first step is to annotate the ABL resources in the ABL application using the Define Service Interface wizard.

Do the following in the project where you want to create the REST service:
  1. Launch the Define Service Interface wizard for an ABL resource (class or procedure file).
  2. Select the ABL operations you want to annotate to expose them as REST operations.
  3. Review, and optionally edit, the generated annotations.

If you have a large application, Developer Studio enables you to annotate multiple files within your workspace at once to save time. Remember that, you should only annotate the same type of files (class files, procedure files, external procedure files) together. This ensures that the annotations include the correct execution mode (singleton, single-run, external) for each file type.
