RESTful web services
The Oracle Database Cloud Service and Application Express 4.2 include the RESTful
Web Services wizard that allows you to easily create a web service to access any SQL
statement or PL/SQL program. This wizard makes it easy to create RESTful web
services to be used by applications outside the Database Cloud Service.
RESTful web services have three main characteristics:
• The services use HTTP methods explicitly
• The services are accessible through URIs
• The services are stateless
