It depends on the context. ISD and the Web Services Pack support some things about SOAP 1.2, and not others.... there is no feature for SOAP with Attachments, for example.
REST is fully supported for Services that you publish via ISD.

ISD (Information Services Director) is the tooling you use to publish a DataStage Job "as" a Service (where a DataStage Job is the actual code and processing behind a hosted web service).
Alternatively, ISD can also publish a SQL Query as a service.
It supports an array of options for REST binding as well as SOAP over HTTP, SOAP over JMS and a few others....
DataStage itself can be a client of "some" REST, since it is just an HTTP request url receiving XML. You might need JavaPack, but its worth trying with the xmlInput Stage...it's been a long time since I've picked up XML via URL with the xml Stages, but look thru the forum --- there may be some threads on it.
