This request function is implemented by the Java class com.arbortext.e3.FunctionAcl. It allocates an Arbortext PE 子流程 and invokes an Arbortext PE 應用程式 written in ACL. It returns whatever HTTP response the Arbortext PE 應用程式 generates. The ACL function 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 entire HTTP request, including the request line, headers, query parameters, and request body are made available to the ACL Arbortext PE 應用程式. The Arbortext PE 應用程式 uses routines closely modeled on those available to Java, JavaScript, and VBScript Arbortext PE 應用程式s in retrieving request information and constructing the response. The request is structured like the following (without the line breaks):
