The f=java Request
This request function is mapped to the Java class com.arbortext.e3.FunctionJava. It allocates an Arbortext PE sub-process and invokes an Arbortext PE Application written in Java, returning whatever response the Arbortext PE Application generates.
The Java Arbortext PE Application is identified by the class parameter, which must specify the name of the Java class to be invoked. All other query parameters, along with the rest of the HTTP request, are passed to the Arbortext PE Application for processing. The Java class must be configured in the Allowed Function List (see The Allowed Functions List) in e3config.xml or the Arbortext PE Request Manager will return an error message. The request is structured like the following:
f=java&class=classname&parameter1=value1&parameter2=value2
