The service interface supports a set of methods that are
implemented by using HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) services.
Each method uses a distinct HTTP resource URL that indicates the method
to use and any parameters to use with the method.
Resource URLs
The format of each resource URL
is
http://hostname:port/server/method_URI.
- hostname is the host name
or IP address of the application server.
- port is the port number of
the application server.
- method_URI is the URI that is used by the method.
Depending on the method that is used, the method URI can contain user-specified
parameters.
For example, if the application server uses port 8080 on a computer
with host name
appserver, and a method uses the URI
/monitor/,
the method resource URL is
http://appserver:8080/server/monitor/.
Supported encoding
Use UTF-8 encoding in any
parameters resource URL and in all request payloads.
