Transports and Interfaces: Siebel Enterprise Application Integration > EAI HTTP Transport > About the EAI HTTP TransportThe use of the Internet protocols and technologies for business (such as HTTP, HTML, and XML) has given rise to a need to automatically send Siebel data to external sites either on the Internet, or outside the enterprise firewall to external Web sites. To meet this need, the technologies built into Siebel EAI provide a way to send and receive messages over HTTP. Siebel EAI HTTP Transport business service lets you send XML messages over HTTP to a target URL (Web site). The Siebel Web Engine (SWE) serves as the transport to receive XML messages sent over the HTTP protocol to a Siebel application. The EAI HTTP Transport business service is based on the CSSHTTPTransService class. You can use one of the following two methods with this transport:
Each method has its own arguments, techniques, and applications. The EAI HTTP Transport allows you to send messages across the Internet using the standard HTTP protocol. Using this transport, you can send messages to any URL. The XML document sent can then be acted upon by any Web-based application, including those written in Java, JavaScript, VBScript, or any other Web-enabled technology. NOTE: When using the EAI HTTP Transport with the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, you might need to install certificates on the Siebel Server. For more information, see Siebel Security Guide. |
