C: Outline XSDs files in the WADL
D: Query certain elements in the WADL
Correct Answer:
B. Inline XSDs files in the WADL
Explanation

The Hosted Transparent Decision Service (HTDS) REST API provides query parameters to customize the generation of the Web Application Description Language (WADL) file. One of these is the inline boolean parameter. When a user requests the WADL and sets the inline parameter to true (e.g., .../wadl?inline=true), the service embeds the XML Schema Definition (XSD) files directly within the WADL file. This creates a single, self-contained description file, which is a documented and supported capability of the HTDS REST interface.

Why Incorrect

A. Filter code from the WADL: The HTDS REST API for WADL generation does not provide parameters to filter or remove specific sections of code or elements from the resulting WADL file.
C. Outline XSDs files in the WADL: While this is possible and is the default behavior (when the inline parameter is false or omitted), Option B describes a specific, configurable feature, making it the better answer for what is "possible" beyond the default.
D. Query certain elements in the WADL: The API uses query parameters to control the generation of the entire WADL file, not to query for specific elements within the WADL content after it has been generated.

1. IBM Operational Decision Manager 8.10.x Documentation: In the section describing how to retrieve a WADL file, the inline query parameter is explicitly defined. "Specifies whether the XSD files are included in the WADL file. The default value is false." This confirms that setting it to true to inline the XSDs is a possible action.

2. IBM Operational Decision Manager 8.9.x Documentation: This older version of the documentation also confirms the feature, stating, "You can choose to inline the XSD files in the WADL file by using the inline query parameter." This highlights inlining as an intentional feature.
