I am new to altova mapforce. I wanted to know that does Altova Mapforce exposes any kind of REST APIS so that we can supply it the input from a single page web application and get the data from the tool back in any format(JSON,XML)?
MapForce version 2022 rel 2 still can't expose REST services, only SOAP.
The SOAP service has to be compiled in an ASPX app and run on IIS.
It can consume REST and SOAP services.
You can create a REST service with the FlowForce/MapForce servers.
However ist does not support CORS.
It wouldn't work with a Single Page Web App.

I have a legacy SAP Java application hosted on neo platform which uses form based SSO authentication. I want to consume this service from rest client like Postman which is not possible right now. What options do I have?
Is it possible that I write a service on top of the current service and call the "original" service. But again, How do I pass the SSO credentials to the "original" service
I want to know details of an update from a remote WSUS server through RESTFul or any other Webservice call, Is that possible. I'm aware of Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration and it's usage.
RESTful web services are not supported by WSUS Administration API.
SOAP has to be used to communicate with the server. There are many open source SOAP client appliations which can be used for this task.
Remember about the authentication mechanism which developing the solution.
I used Python3 requests, ntlm and zeep libraries to achieve this task.
We need to expose IMS as RESTful webservice consumer. I had referred a document "Creating a RESTful Web Service for IMS-Transaction" by Ivy Ho, which talks about exposing IMS as RESTful webservice provider. In that document they selected an OUTBOUND adapter option while creating an J2C bean(Page Num 4), which makes the data to be passed from application to adapter. Is it possible if I opted INBOUND adapter which makes the data to be passed in to the application from the adapter, will it help me to expose IMS as RESTful consumer.
If any proven methods are available, to expose our application as RESTful webservice consumer, kindly share the same ?
Is it possible in the SOAP GATEWAY server to handle REST calls of the client application. So my core application can consume the REST response of client application after the data mapping in the SOAP GATEWAY server.
Kindly share your views and thoughts. Thanks in advance.
The recommended route for your IMS application to consume an external REST service would be through the API Requester function for z/OS Connect EE. The following link provides a step by step guide for doing exactly what you want: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS4SVW_3.0.0/com.ibm.zosconnect.doc/scenarios/ims_apiReq_intro.html
The reason this would be recommended is it funnels all outbound calls through a single gateway which can be monitored, modified, and updated without affecting your applications.
SOAP Gateway will not be able to handle REST calls. I suggest looking into IMS Mobile Feature pack which is a restful endpoint for IMS.
IMS Mobile Feature Pack Description:
This feature provides a RESTful endpoint for mobile services to access back-end IMS resources through IMS Connect. A data transformation module is included that converts request and response messages between JSON and the native representation of the input and output messages. Tooling support for modeling, creating, testing, and managing services is provided through IMS Enterprise Suite Explorer for Development.

I'm working in an GWT 2.4 project. I want to access to a SOAP service. I used wsdl2java to generate classes of the service (servicestub, servicelocator, ...). But this code is server side. How can I do to access the service on the client-side?
There are some problems in Calling Cross Domain Web Services in AJAX. You can read answer on this question: Accessing web Service from jQuery - cross domain. But you can call server method using RPC. And then server get data from SOAP and return to client.
Its really tricky to do that (I'm even not sure if its possible) and I would prefer to wrap the SOAP call into a server side service and call that from you client.
So i have a assignment to write some REST client calls to a REST web service which does not exist.
To work around it i created a mock web service using Jersey. But i am not sure what technology the actual REST service would use.
Please advise on what technology should i use to send down the REST calls to the server.
Also if possible also give me a sample of how to send down a XML GET request to the REST service.
Thanks much for the help.

REST is HTTP. You can use anything that sends HTTP requests:
Jersey Client
Any web browser
cURL
telnet
carrier pigeon
...
Also if possible also give me a sample of how to send down a XML GET request to the REST service.
It's just an HTTP GET request. How it's built/generated/sent depends on what library and programming language you're writing the client in. But the actual request itself would look something like this:
GET /foo/bar/baz HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.com
Accept: text/xml
As far as I know Both Java and .Net environment has the tools to generate WebServices (SOAP and rest). What's your client development language ?
REST :Representational state transfer in simple terms used to send data between client and server . As
Client use some persistent URL for communication and it is stateless communication .
Java uses Jersey, the reference implementation of JAX-RS, implements support for the annotations defined in JSR 311, making it easy for developers to build RESTful web services by using the Java programming language.
So All u have to use for creating services is just some dependencies , bean configuration and some annotations (To Expose Service ) .
For calling REST Service , u can either call from browser . Browsers like (chrome ,mozilla ) provide some plugins to calling REST service or u can create a client to call REST Service .
