HTTPS Client OTD

The HTTPS OTD is specific to the HTTPS Adapter. It is used as an inbound or outbound OTD in a Collaboration.

OTDs have a tree-like hierarchical data structure composed of fields containing methods and properties.

The top root element of the OTD is the HTTPClientApplication interface, and the fields underneath contain Java methods. You can use these Java methods to create Business Rules that specify the HTTP message format and invoke messaging to and/or from an HTTP server.

To access other Java classes and methods, you can use the Collaboration Editor (Java) to utilize the entire contents available for HTTPClientApplication.
