An
Arbortext PE Application written in ACL is an ACL subroutine which takes no parameters. The
Arbortext PE Request Manager processes requests for ACL applications by passing requests whose
f parameters have the value
acl to the Request Function
com.arbortext.e3.FunctionAcl. The request function allocates an
Arbortext PE sub-process and passes the request to the
Arbortext PE Application Context
The Arbortext PE sub-process Application Context). The
Arbortext PE Application context allocates request and response objects, as for a Java application, and stores references to them in global variables. Then it calls the ACL function indicated by the query’s
function parameter. The function must have been defined in a
.acl file in a
custom\init directory or in an
.acl file in a
custom\scripts directory which is loaded from
custom\init. For example, to invoke the ACL function
test::abc, the HTTP query would include the parameter
function=test::abc.
