REST configuration properties in the component configuration file (wc-component.xml)

The component configuration file (wc-component.xml) contains properties to configure various REST features.

HCL Commerce EAR

The following table summarizes the REST-related properties found in the foundation component configuration file on the HCL Commerce server. Refer to the comments within the file for more details:


Section	Purpose of properties in this section
Timeout settings	RemoteRestRequestConnectTimeout The timeout value that is used to create an HTTP connection from the search server to the HCL Commerce server for REST requests. RemoteRestRequestReadTimeout The timeout value that is used to terminate a REST request from the search server to the HCL Commerce server. Note: If timeouts are left completely undefined, then the default timeout value of 30 seconds is used. These timeout values are global. More granular timeout values can also be applied at the ajax call level using the requestConnectTimeout and requestReadTimeout values within the REST configuration properties in store struts configuration files (struts-wcs-stores-xxx-rest-services.xml).
Local binding	RESTinLocalBindingEnabled Determines whether local binding is enabled for REST requests. RESTinLocalBindingPathPrefix The path prefixes used for REST local binding requests, separated by a comma. RESTinLocalRemoteBindingExceptionsEnabled Determines whether exceptions that are thrown from REST requests are propagated to the calling JSP files and reflected in the storefront. The default value is true.
Support cookies for authorization	AuthenticationAllowedUsingCookies If set to true, REST calls are allowed to consume request cookies to identify the user. The cookies are used only if the REST tokens are not present. The default value is true.
