COMMON MESSAGE HEADER BEARER METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONVERTING SIMPLE OBJECT ACCESS PROTOCOL APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE (SOAP API) INTO REPRESENTIONAL STATE TRANSFER APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE (REST API)

摘要

A common message header bearer method for converting a SOAP API into a REST API includes: determining a REST API common message bearing field, where the common message bearing field is a field in a REST API message header and complies with a following format: one header field name + one header field value + multiple attribute-value pairs (10); and bearing a relevant content of a SOAP message header in the common message bearing field in a format of the attribute-value pairs (11). Embodiments of the present invention further provide an apparatus for converting a SOAP API into a REST API. Embodiments of the present invention prevent problems of existing conversion solutions, such as strong association between a service message and a message header, and the necessity of parsing a whole service message body to complete authorization required by a message header during program processing; and meanwhile, effectively prevent a problem of slow bottom-layer negotiation between a client and a server due to too many header field names.
