VSE Connector Client
The VSE Connector Client package contains online documentation in HTML format.
The XML Parser that is part of the VSE Webservices implementation can also be used by any customer written application. There is an interface available to use the XML parser to be able to parse and also generate an XML data stream.
The parser has 2 interfaces:
a SAX like interface that uses callback functions for each element. Due to the callback mechanism this interface is designed to work best with C programming language applications, but it can also be used by any LE enabled programming language.
This interface is defined and described by the C-header file IESXMLPH.H in PRD1.BASE.
a DOM like interface that builds a tree representation of the XML data in memory. This interface can be used by any kind of application since it uses a EXEC CICS LINK interface.
This interface is defined and described by the C-header file IESXMLAH.H in PRD1.BASE.
The HTTP client that is part of the VSE Webservices implementation can also be used by any customer written application. There is an interface available use the HTTP client to be able to send a HTTP request to a HTTP server. The HTTP client has support for connections through proxys and socks servers.
This interface is defined by the C-header file IESHTTPH.H in PRD1.BASE.
