pURL

The URL to request, formatted as

http://hostname:port/uri

The pURL argument must be an absolute URL, including the hostname (and port, if it is not 80). The RestSession class includes a convenience method called getHostString() which returns a string containing the scheme, host, and port number. The caller can then append the remainder of the URL and pass the resulting string as the first argument to this method.

pParams

A Map of parameters to submit along with the request.

This argument is the same as it would have been if you made the request using either of the helper classes. It contains parameters which can control certain aspects of the request.

pArguments

An array of Objects which contain the method parameter values.

Use this argument only for method calls.

The value is the same as it would be if calling the executeMethod() method on the RestComponentHelper class.

pMethodType

The HTTP method for the request: GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE.

The atg.rest.client.RestConstants class contains constant values for these strings. In short, GET should be used when retrieving data, POST should be used when calling methods, PUT should be used when setting properties, and DELETE is used for deleting repository items. DELETE is not used when interacting with Nucleus components.
