Creating an open edge rest web service (tools required etc...)

[pinne65]

I would like to access, (guess I should say expose), our OE 11.6 database residing on RHEL 5.11 using, (should probably say through), a rest web service.

We don't have Open Edge studio licensed. And before I embark on reading the 390 pg docs It'd be nice to know.

The section mentions "tools that support REST app development in OE" but it doesn't state that it is absolutely necessary. Does anyone know?

Also, if anyone could point to a sample / walk through from start to end. I'd be ever so grateful!

TIA

If you scroll down to egarcia's reply he pretty much posts what you're looking for.

REST Application sample project - Forum - OpenEdge Development - Progress Community

And its definitely not necessary (But pretty easy).

You could create a REST web service using node, then call progress from that.

Thanks - yea, that's what I want to do, trying to marry it together with sequelize in a node / express web service. I was trying to use node odbc but I just couldn't get the same performance on some of the queries as I got with ABL.
