How to Delete a resource in a REST Endpoint

A resource in a REST endpoint can be deleted using 'DELETE' http method with the reource URL. This can be initiated using EVENT_BIZAPI message flow.


    PROCEDURE boston_rest_delete_rec IS  
      url_params_ PLSQLAP_DOCUMENT_API.Document;  

    BEGIN  

      url_params_ := PLSQLAP_DOCUMENT_API.New_Document('URL_Parameters');  
      PLSQLAP_DOCUMENT_API.Add_Attribute(url_params_,'p1', 'ifs/boston');  
      plsql_rest_sender_API.Call_Rest_EndPoint_Empty_Body2(  
      rest_service_ => 'DELETE_BOSTON_REC',  
      url_params_ => url_params_,  
      callback_func_ => 'P_L_S_Q_L_Rest_Test_API.REST_callback_Test',  
      http_method_ => 'DELETE');  

    END boston_rest_delete_rec;

Important points to consider:

  • To send a DELETE request you have to call the PL/SQL method plsql_rest_sender_API.Call_Rest_EndPoint_Empty_Body(..) or plsql_rest_sender_API.Call_Rest_EndPoint(..) PL/SQL methods according to your requirements.
  • If you need to include a payload with the request, you can do so by configuring the ifs property ifs.includeBodyInRestDelete = true.
