To create an OpenEdge project specialized for REST Web application development:
1. Select File > New > OpenEdge Project from the Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge main menu bar or the Project Explorer view context (right-click) menu. The New OpenEdge Project wizard opens and displays the Create an OpenEdge Project page.
2. Type a name in the Project name field.
The root folder for the new project is created in your current Eclipse workspace, unless you specify a different location.
3. To choose a different location for the project, click and clear the Use default check box. Then either browse to, or enter the path to the desired location.
4. Select Server from the left section.
5. Select Classic option button to select the server type that you want to deploy the application to.
6. Select REST as the transport.
7. Click Next. The Select AVM and layout options page appears.
8. Specify the OpenEdge AVM options and the project layout options (or leave the default settings) and click Next. The Define AppServer content module page appears.
9. In the AppServer source folder field, enter a name of the AppServer module content directory.
Note: The default is a folder named AppServer, which will be created as a child of the project folder if you select the Use project root directory for source and r-code check box in step 6. If you select the Use separate source and r-code directories option, the folder will be a child of whatever you specified in the Source directory field.
10. From the Supported servers list, select the servers that will be the destination for your published web objects. The primary function of these servers is to support publishing your code for running, testing, and deploying your REST service. For example, select restbroker1 from the list to publish your REST service.
11. Select the Create a REST service to define a default REST service and associate it to an OE Web Server instance. The default name of the REST service is the REST project name and Service appended to it. For example, <projectname>Service. You can specify a different name in the Service name field and a relative URI in the Service relative URI field.
12. Click Next. The Define PROPATH page appears.
13. Leave the default settings or modify the PROPATH entries to be used by the project and click Next. The Select database connections page appears.
14. Select the database connections to be used by the project and click Finish.
You will see your project and its resources in the Project Explorer view.
Note: A default PASOE folder that contains the WAR structure is added to the project. If you open 11.2.x, 11.3.x, or 11.4 workspace with OpenEdge 11.5 and if the workspace has any REST or Data Object projects, all the projects are automatically updated with the PASOEContent folder. If you open a 11.5 workspace, you can import the OpenEdge 11.2.x, 11.3.x, or 11.4 projects if the project type is either REST or Data Object, after import the projects are automatically updated with the PASOEContent folder.
