XPP Restful API Web Services

Replace Web Services with a RESTful API that is URL addressable for XPP functionality.

Low-level "micro" services (toxsf, compose, print, citi, etc) supported by XPP, that can be built upon for more high level customized  functionality.

  • The calls can be either. Most of the client functionality (like jquery), can make http get/post calls with callbacks when the data is ready. So it is completely up to the user on how they want to proceed. Of course XPP functionality-wise, you have to create a division, run toxsf, compose, and print in that order to get a PDF from XPP, but that is for the client to handle. For example, with callbacks if you are uploading images, there is no reason to upload one at a time. You can do multiples at the same time and just wait for them to all be completed with a callback.

    Bottom line is that if you are calling a URL, it will eventually return something. When and where it is handled is up to the client.
