The Arbortext Publishing Engine Query Structure
HTTP requests contain instructions for returning some kind of file or message to the HTTP client making the request. This query is constructed from a function and its parameters, and it's designed to convert documents or deliver other files or messages to the HTTP client. Arbortext Publishing Engine Test Utility provides a user interface for creating HTTP requests to test your custom Java, JavaScript, or ACL applications.

The basic sample Arbortext Publishing Engine applications that retrieve information about the Arbortext Publishing Engine environment are included in the PE_HOME/e3/samples subdirectories. There is one each for ACL, Java, JavaScript, and VBScript.

The query must include a name=value statement specifying one of the unique Arbortext Publishing Engine function names. Arbortext Publishing Engine Test Utility generates these name=value pairs based on information you specify in the appropriate test editor.
• f=java
This function specifies a custom Java application whose name is specified in the accompanying class=class-name statement.
• f=javascript
This function specifies a custom JavaScript application whose name is specified in the accompanying function=function-name statement.
• f=acl
This function specifies a custom ACL application whose name is specified in the accompanying function=function-name statement. (The old style p0=function-name is still supported in this release, but you should migrate to the function form of the query.)
• f=convert
A built-in Arbortext Publishing Engine function for handling document conversion. It takes a set of parameters that control a variety of document manipulations.
