URL: [base]/$process-message
Parameters
Use | Name | Cardinality | Type | Binding | Documentation |
IN | content | 1..1 | Bundle | The message to process (or, if using asynchronous messaging, it may be a response message to accept) | |
IN | async | 0..1 | boolean | If 'true' the message is processed using the asynchronous messaging pattern | |
IN | response-url | 0..1 | uri | A URL to submit response messages to, if asynchronous messaging is being used, and if the MessageHeader.source.endpoint is not the appropriate place to submit responses | |
OUT | return | 0..1 | Bundle | A response message, if synchronous messaging is being used (mandatory in this case). For asynchronous messaging, there is no return value |
This operation does not use the parameters resource; the parameters "async" and "response-url" always go in the URL, if they are used, and the message parameter is always the body of the HTTP message
Usage note: every effort has been made to ensure that the examples are correct and useful, but they are not a normative part of the specification.
