[resolved] tRESTrequest vs. tESBProviderRequest

[Anonymous]

I would like to better understand the difference between the REST and ESBProvider component families, e.g. tRESTrequest and tESBProviderRequest. Both are working fine for me to wrap Talend jobs into a web service. However my questions are
* What are the real differences between those two component families?
* In which use cases which of them should be used?
Thanks a million in advance!

tRestRequest is used to to create a restful web servcie, however, tESBProviderRequest is used to create SOAP we bservice, it depends on which type of web service you want to build.

The ESB component family (both SOAP and REST) are the ones with the more complete feature set. They are fully available for DI despite their ESB in the title.
The other components, say tREST, tSOAP, tWebService are legacy and might get deprecated in the future.

For 6.1 coming out year end we certainly will update the ESB family only.
