    There is no current out of the box implementation for REST web service deployment with a JSON object model in Blaze 7.4 (or 7.5), although it is available in the cloud implementation of Blaze Advisor, called Decision Modeler on the FICO Analytic Cloud. Please go to https://community.fico.com/s/decision-modeler-overview for more details, and there is a free trial version available from there as well.

    Hi Tom, do you know if the situation is the same right now? We have a Blaze Advisor (on premises) and need to integrate it through REST services, that is the standard in our organization.

    Good timing for your question, Blaze Advisor 7.7 is due out this month and it will have a RESTful POJO web service deployment option.

    Hello. Thank you very much for your soon response! That´s really good news. So we just need to update the version. Initially our regional support had said that this kind of service was not available, we will ask again specifically on this point. Do you have any further information available? My email is [email protected]. Best wishes.

    It is true that it is not currently available. I helped out with the Beta testing so I got to see it in a pre-release version which is planned to be released in the near future. I don't have more information than that at this time.

    Hi, Tom. We see that version 7.7 is now available. Do you know if the REST integration supports both Tomcat and Jboss implementations? Because Blaze offers both server options in their deployments.

    Currently out of the box, version 7.7 only generates files for Apache Tomcat implementation, but it is highly likely that you could generate those files and easily determine what changes they need to work in a JBOSS environment as well.
