The following types of endpoints can be added to services.
Not all services support all endpoints:
- Email:
- Enables a user to invoke a service by sending an email message
with one or more file attachments to a specified email account.
Before you configure an email endpoint, you must configure the required
email accounts. (See Configuring email endpoints.)
- Watched Folder:
- Enables a user to invoke a service by placing a file in a
folder, which is scanned at a defined interval. (See Configuring watched folder endpoints.)
- TaskManager:
- Enables a Workspace user to invoke the service.
- Remoting:
- Enables an application built with Flex to invoke the service
using LiveCycle remoting. A remoting endpoint is automatically created
for each activated service. A Flex destination that has the same
name as the endpoint is created, and Flex clients can create remote
objects that point to this destination to invoke operations on the
relevant service.
- SOAP:
- Enables a client application developed using the LiveCycle
programming APIs to invoke the service using SOAP mode. A SOAP endpoint
is automatically created for each activated service.
- EJB:
- Enables a client application developed using the LiveCycle
programming APIs to invoke the service using Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) mode. An EJB endpoint is automatically
created for each activated service.
- WSDL:
- Enables a client application developed using the LiveCycle programming
APIs to invoke the service using Web Service Definition Language (WSDL).
The Core Configurations page contains an option to enable WSDL generation
for all services that are part of LiveCycle. (See Configure general LiveCycle settings.)
- REST:
- Processes created in Workbench can be configured so that
you can invoke them through Representational State Transfer (REST)
requests. REST requests are sent from HTML pages. That is, you can
invoke a LiveCycle process directly from a web page using a REST
request.
The Email, TaskManager, Watched Folder, and Remoting
endpoints expose only a specific operation of the service. Adding
these endpoints requires a second configuration step to select a
method to invoke the service, setting configuration parameters,
and specifying input and output parameter mappings.
