Web Services Remote Access

Many of Join services are exposed as Web Services so that integration with other enterprise software or language is possible. You may want to use this feature in many cases:

• From a script - maybe launched asynchronously by Join - in order to report a process status or an environment configuration change,
• From another software used by your development or quality assurance teams. An example of integration use-case is an Eclipse plugin allowing developper to deliver its work into Join from the IDE (Check here for this work in progress).

Join services are currently exposed as SOAP, Hessian or XML-RPC web services. You will find further details for this protocols (such as access URL, interfaces and so on) on specifc pages:
