Platform Connector |
|
The HTTP API (the SOAP based web-services of hosted web applications on the Application Server) cannot be accessed directly within the Process Platform as TomEE is not directly part of the Enterprise Service Bus of the Platform. The internal routing algorithms require that a web service interface is registered in a service container. The Platform Connector acts as an internal Proxy for those web service interfaces that are deployed in TomEE.
The Platform service container, in turn, forwards the requests it receives based on configuration information in the method set to an endpoint on the Application Server. It uses the com.cordys.internal.cluster.url to determine the base URL for the endpoint. See also Configuring access URLs. The request is enriched with proper authentication and localization headers, before sending it to the Application Server endpoint. The response is transferred in the reverse direction.
Any applicable web-service interface is automatically configured to be handled by the Platform service container; hence, no manual web-service interface registration is needed. There are no specific configuration options on the Platform service container.
