Legacy Services
When running Windchill, it is recommended that you use the SimpleTaskDispatcher servlet rather than the RPC servlet. The two servlets behave identically externally, but in the case of a Windchill installation, the SimpleTaskDispatcher delegates directly to the SimpleTaskDispatcher service running in your MethodServer. As a result, this servlet performs better than the standalone Info*Engine RPC servlet.
In the following topics, wherever there is a reference to the RPC servlet address, you can simply replace “RPC” with “SimpleTaskDispatcher” in that URL.
For example:
http://<host>/Windchill/servlet/RPC
can be replaced with
http://<host>/Windchill/servlet/SimpleTaskDispatcher

If your site is using form-based authentication, programmatic clients attempting to access the RPC or SimpleTaskDispatcher servlet must use the /protocolAuth URL prefix. For example:
http://<host>/Windchill/protocolAuth/servlet/SimpleTaskDispatcher
or
http://<host>/Windchill/protocolAuth/servlet/RPC
