[qxpReq setRequest:saveAsRequest];
[qRequestContext setRequest:qxpReq];
//Get reference to RequestService and process request

If made from QuarkXPress Server, this request would look like this:
http://[server>]:[port]/saveas/qxpdoc/MyDoc.qxp?newname="NewDoc.q

Extending QuarkXPress Server Manager
Custom XTensions written for XPressServer can be used in the QuarkXPress Server
Manager Web service interface in two ways:
Using the Extensibility tool in the QXPSM SDK. With this tool, you can easily
update QXPSM Web service objects to include objects corresponding to custom
request handlers and their parameters.
Using the RequestParameters class. This is a generic request class that can be
used in lieu of any class, existing or otherwise.
The prerequisites for using the Extensibility tool are as follows:
JDK 1.6
Apache ANT 1.6.5 or later
Perl 5.8.4 or later with the XML::DOM module
Third-party libraries (available at [QXPSM application
folder]\Server\dependencies)
QXPSM libraries (avaiable at [QXPSM application folder]\Server\lib
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or later (required only for generating .NET stubs)
The Extensibility tool is located in the XDK/Extensibility folder. For instructions
on how to use it, see the following topics.
Writing special request handlers
If you need to perform custom actions on specific flags, you need to define special
flags and write handlers for them. These flags can then be passed as GET parameters
to the servlet, as additional QParam parameters in QCommand (executed using
QManagerSvc.executeCommand), or as additional NameValueParam parameters in
a derived class of QRequest using RequestService.processRequest. The servlet
will automatically create parameters out of these flags and set these in the
command before sending it for execution.
To handle these special flags, you can write your request handler derived from the
class QRequestHandler. You can then insert this new handler class anywhere in
the chain of responsibility pattern, starting with QDocProviderImpl and ending
with QHostRequestHandler.
