Configuring Request Handlers
Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.
A request handler is software that receives a client request for access to the service, and translates the request into a form that the application providing the business functionality can understand. The following request handlers are provided with Enterprise Server :
- MFRHSOAP – handles requests that use SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol). These are requests for Web services. They are coded in XML.
- MFRHBINP – handles binary requests made by the Micro Focus J2EE connector.
- MFRHJSON - handles REST requests that use JSON content bodies.
