Accessing a service

In EGL, you can access several different types of services. To learn the access procedures, see the links in the following table.

Goal	Tasks
Access a dedicated service	The process is described here: Accessing a dedicated service. The following description is deprecated: Declaring a variable to access a dedicated or local EGL service. Then, complete either of these tasks: Invoking a service asynchronously from a Rich UI application. Invoking a service synchronously from outside of Rich UI; but this option is not yet available.
Access an EGL REST-RPC service or third-party REST service	Creating an Interface type to access a REST service. Add a REST binding: If you are using the EDT IDE, follow the process described here: Adding a REST binding to the EGL deployment descriptor. Otherwise, add the REST binding as described here: Editing the EGL deployment descriptor manually. Write a binding variable and a call statement, as described here: Invoking a service asynchronously from a Rich UI application For details on accessing an EGL REST-RPC service from logic written outside of EGL, see EGL REST-RPC message structure.

Access a dedicated service

The process is described here: Accessing a dedicated service.

The following description is deprecated:

Access an EGL REST-RPC service or third-party REST service

Creating an Interface type to access a REST service.
Add a REST binding:
- If you are using the EDT IDE, follow the process described here: Adding a REST binding to the EGL deployment descriptor.
- Otherwise, add the REST binding as described here: Editing the EGL deployment descriptor manually.
Write a binding variable and a call statement, as described here: Invoking a service asynchronously from a Rich UI application
