| Fundamentals / Delegate the start of an application or service | |
The delegation mechanism introduces an additional step in the Genero Application Server workflow that manages the launch of a Web application or Web service.
When delegation is configured, each new starting request for a GWC (/wa/r) or GDC (/ja/r) application or GWS (/ws/r) service is delegated to another REST service, in order to perform some controls such as authentication, authorization, monitoring, or whatever is required before the requested application or service is started. For a Web service, the delegation is performed for any new request, not only for the start of the Web service.
