DELEGATE
The DELEGATE element specifies the Genero REST service in charge of all
starting requests for applications.
Syntax
<DELEGATE service=name>
[<anyparameter1>any-value</anyparameter1>]
[<anyparameter2>any-value</anyparameter2>]
</DELEGATE>- name specifies the name of the Genero REST service.
- All other child attributes are optional and, if present, are passed as parameters to the REST service using HTTP headers.
AnyParameter in the configuration, in
the header may
become:x-fourjs-environment-parameter-anyparameterTherefore, it is not recommended to rely on case in the naming of parameters as there is no guarantee that it will be preserved. When working with HTTP headers in your Genero program code, make sure you allow for this by converting them to either upper or lower case.
When working with a single sign-on solution, child elements of
the DELEGATE element are specific to the identity provider (IdP). You will need to
add the appropriate tags to work with your IdP. These tags are documented by your IdP.
Usage
You use this element to delegate the start of a Web application or a Web service to another Genero REST service in order to perform some controls before granting access and starting the application.
The JGAS dispatcher passes the request to the REST service identified as the delegation service if the type of request is defined by the /ua/r or /ws/r path segments in the application URI. See How to implement delegation.
