Configurable data services are a special type of data service. Asides from all the operations and capabilities offered by services a configurable data service provides operations allowing the state of the service to be updated while the service is running.
These operations are intended for use by service deployers rather than clients of the service.
This operation is not directed at a specific data service resource. Instead it contains the name of a data service resource which the data service is to expose. Upon completion of the operation clients will be able to access the named data service resource via the service.
It is the responsibility of the service deployer to ensure that the information required to configure the data service resource is available within the web service container hosting the service.
This operation is not directed at a specific data service resource. Instead it contains the name of a data service resource which the data service is to no longer expose. Upon completion of the operation clients will no longer be able to access the named data service resource via the service.
At present the resource is withdrawn immediately - all subsequent requests directed at that resource will fail. Service deployers should consider use of this operation carefully to ensure that clients do not have their work disrupted.
