Accessing the Vocabulary metadata of a Decision Service
There is a REST API for retrieving vocabulary metadata from a deployed Decision Service. This is useful for integrating Corticon with other applications that need to format REST or SOAP calls to a Decision Service.
Structure of a request
To retrieve vocabulary metadata, make an HTTP GET request to the getVocabularyMetadata endpoint specifying the Decision Service name and version as the following URL parameters:
*name=Decision Service name
*majorVersion= Major version of the Decision Service
*minorVersion= Minor version of the Decision Service
For example:
http://localhost:8850/axis/corticon/decisionService/getVocabularyMetadata
?name=ProcessOrder&majorVersion=1&minorVersion=1
The metadata API is available for Corticon Decision Services deployed for either a Java Server or a .NET Server.
The following JSON-formatted document is an example of a response:
