Hi Nadir,

I think you are emphasizing that things can be set up so different
types of HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) will execute
different procedures in the IWS REST service without needing to add
anything to the URI. That makes sense to me.

I was emphasizing that one does not need to have a one-to-one
correspondence between types HTTP requests and procedures within the
IWS REST service. For example, it is possible to have multiple
procedures within the same IWS REST service all use the HTTP GET

But now I do have a question:
Can you have 3 procedures *within the same IWS REST service* all use
the GET HTTP request method without specifying a unique URI path
template for each of those three procedures?

If you select GET as the "HTTP request method" for three procedures,
but you do not specify a unique "URI path template for method" for
each of those three procedures, then how would the service know
which procedure to execute when it receives an HTTP GET request?

Thanks,
