Service interface methods

Edit online

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 9080 on a computer with host name appserver, and a method uses the URI /monitor/, the method resource URL is http://appserver:9080/server/monitor/.

Supported encoding

Use UTF-8 encoding in any parameters resource URL and in all request payloads.
