About Communication Adapters

Sample HTTP Exchange in Server Mode

To listen for a request from an HTTP client, the HTTPS Adapter in server mode listens on the port configured for your Integration Server (18001 by default). The HTTPS Adapter receives the request and processes it according to the logic you create in your Collaboration or Business Process.

In a simple example, the HTTPS Adapter receives a request from the following form:


<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>HTTP Server JCE Test Page</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM ACTION="http://localhost:18001/
    Deployment1_servlet__MyServlet/
    _MyServlet" METHOD=POST>
<TABLE>
<TR><TD>What’s your name?</TD><TD><INPUT NAME=fname></TD></TR>
<TR><TD></TD><TD></TD></TR>
</TABLE>
<BR>
<CENTER><INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Submit"></CENTER>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

When the client enters a name in a browser and clicks Submit, the HTTPS Adapter server returns a simple response (according to the logic in the Collaboration or Business Process).
