Sun Microsystems 5.1.1 manual Https Server OTD, Http OTD Method Descriptions

Chapter 3	Section 3.3
Understanding the HTTPS eWay OTD	HTTPS Server OTD

OTDs have a tree-like hierarchical data structure composed of fields containing methods and properties.

The top root element of the OTD is the HTTPClientApplication interface, and the fields underneath contain Java methods. You can use these Java methods to create Business Rules that specify the HTTP message format and invoke messaging to and/or from an HTTP server.

To access other Java classes and methods, you can use the Collaboration Editor (Java) to utilize the entire contents available for HTTPClientApplication.

3.2.1HTTP OTD Method Descriptions

The HTTP OTD includes the following methods used in HTTP data exchange:

get

The method called in the Collaboration (Java) to send an HTTP get request to an HTTP server.

post

The method called in the Collaboration (Java) to send an HTTP post request to an HTTP server.

getRequest

The method called in the Collaboration (Java) for other “request” related helper methods, such as to set the URL, to add properties, etc.

getResult

The method called in the Collaboration (Java) for other “respond” related helper methods, such as, to obtain the respond code, respond result, text result, and so on.

For more information on methods available in the HTTP OTDs, see the HTTPS eWay’s Javadoc.

3.3HTTPS Server OTD

The HTTPS Server input OTD has two nodes, Request and Response. The Request node contains the data that the HTTPS Server eWay receives from an HTTP client, while the Response node is used to set the HTTP response data that will be sent back to the HTTP client.
