4.4.4 HTTP Servlet Based Synchronous Deployment Pattern

The HTTP servlet deployment pattern will be used in integration scenarios where the external system wants to connect to OFSLL using simple HTTP messages.

This is especially applicable to systems such as the following:
  • Systems that prefer to use a simple http message based approach without wanting to use SOAP as the standard

For this deployment pattern, OFSLL will expose a servlet. The actual request will be in the form of an XML message. This XML message is embedded into the body of the HTTP request sent to the OFSLL interface. After the necessary processing is done in OFSLL based on the request, the response is returned to the external system as an XML message which is once again embedded within the body of the response HTTP message. The transaction control for the processing will stay with the OFSLL.
