CHAPTER 1
Architecture Overview
The Macromedia Breeze XML API model exposes interfaces as a set of XML web services. These
services let your external system (such as a portal application) communicate with the Breeze
server, using HTTP or HTTPS to call actions on the server and to receive results formatted as
XML code. You can use the web services to add Breeze management and reporting capabilities to
your external system.
Note: Breeze doesn’t currently support Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP).
This chapter describes the flow of data between the Breeze server and web applications and how
you set parameters and security permissions.
