Interface IRequest

public interface IRequest

Represents a request to a BAC backend.

The request is carried to the backend in an XML document that obeys the following XML Schema:

The request looks like this:

 <RequestMsg>
	<DispatcherEnvelope>
		<Object> object_name </Object>	
		<Method> method_name </Method>
	</DispatcherEnvelope>
	<ObjectMethodRequest>
		…
	</ObjectMethodRequest>	
 </RequestMsg>
 

This class provides accessor methods for accessing this document using W3C's Document Object Model (DOM). It is possible to alter the document in ways that violate the specified schema. Attempting to subsequently send such an invalid request will result in a RequestException.
