Novell WebAccess GroupWise Provider is a component of GroupWise WebAccess that interfaces with GroupWise to retrieve information and perform operations. This section describes the commands and parameters that can be used in URLs and HTML forms to allow access to GroupWise from a browser.
This section covers the following topics:
Actions and their associated parameters are processed by the WebAccess servlet. The servlet gets installed when you install GroupWise WebAccess. To call the servlet, create a URL that references the IP address or host name of the computer where the servlet was installed (which is the machine running your HTTP server) and specify /servlet/webacc. For example
http://myserver.mycompany.com/servlet/webacc
To call the provider, include in the URL or a hidden form field, the word “action” accompanied by the name of the action to perform, such as User.Login. Also include in the URL or other form fields, the name of the necessary parameters and their values.
The name of the GroupWise provider is GWAP. When WebAccess is installed, GWAP is specified as the default provider. Since it is the default provider, it is not necessary to specify the name of the provider in the URL or forms. If the default provider is changed (in webacc.cfg), it becomes necessary to include the Provider.name parameter with all requests so that the servlet calls the GroupWise provider.
