Client/Server Mechanism

The Client/Server Mechanism extends the HTTP protocol. The two sides of the Client/Server Service (CSClient and CSServer) communicate through the Client/Server Mechanism.

The Client/Server Mechanism passes formatted data received from the client directly to the invoker. The invoker is responsible for converting the formatted data string into parameters in an EJB method call. The formatted data in the request passed by the Client/Server Mechanism has the following format:

serverOperationName/sendFormatName/formattedData/parentContextName/sessionId/applicationId

The invoker also converts the EJB response into a formatted data string. The data string has the following format:

sessionId/serverTID/timeout/serverId/cookies
