Data Source SPI

I'm wondering if JMP publishes a service provider interface (SPI) that would allow us to publish a RESTful interface that would be natively consumable via the HTTP connector?

Hi @andyczerwonka, I am afraid I do not understand the question.

Does JMP have information that you want other applications to access?
Are you trying to access information from other applications and get that into JMP?
Are you trying to connect one instance of JMP with another?

All are possible...

I want to provide an interface to JMP, so that users for JMP could easily pull my data in. This would be in the context of a SaaS application, where the user would configure a REST endpoint and provide and API token, then JMP would be able to import data.

This kind of integration is often done when the vendor (JMP) provides a “service provider interface” (SPI), so that service implementers can provide streamlined data integration. It’s basically a description of a protocol, that if I were to implement, would plug directly into JMP.

If you provide a RESTful interface, then JMP can access is via JSL with HTTP Request.

Are just 2 examples.

Does that help answer question?

The second case mostly describes what I'm after. I have determined that JMP does not support the strategy I was hoping for.

As a data provider,I'd love to be a able to implement a data service interface that JMP could plug into that does not require any custom JSL, that'd be ideal. That is typically achieved through an SPI. That capability unfortunately doesn't exist.
