RE: Hop Questions

[Doug Zeffer via users <us...@hop.apache.org>]

Hello Hop Community!!!!

We are evaluating IPaaS solutions. That said I have some questions I am hoping we can get answers to. If it's better to send them one at a time, please LMK and I will comply. I am a Hop newb so forgive me ahead of time if the questions seem too dumb! 

1. is there a way to start a workflow/pipeline using a POST request?

2. if so, can this POST contain some parameters that can be later used inside the workflow and pass it from the workflow to a pipeline that I need to call?

3. We are playing a bit with the pipelines trying to pull some data from our system - I have been using both the HTTP Client and the REST Client to do some GET calls but seems like only the HTTP Client manages to pull something even though I set the same target URL for both of them - is there any extra configuration that needs to be done for the REST Client?

4. if the parameters I talked about at the second item can be passed to the pipeline how can those be used with the HTTP/REST client - something like ..../getData/<ID> - where ID is a parameter received by the pipeline?

Thank you ahead of time for any guidance or direction on where to read.

Kind Regards,
Doug
