•
qxpsm_responseredirect: If you use servlet methodology to send a request to
QuarkXPress Server Manager with qxpsm_responseasurl=true, QuarkXPress Server
Manager returns a frameset page with one or more frames. If the response is not multipart,
the frameset contains a single page with a URL pointing to a response file in the temporary
cache. This can be problematic if, for example, you want to use the returned URL as an
image link in an HTML page. In such situations, submit the request with both
qxpsm_responseredirect=true and qxpsm_responseasurl=true. If you do this,
QuarkXPress Server Manager returns the URL of the rendered file in the temporary cache
instead of returning a frameset page. Note, however, that if the request results in a multipart
response (such as the response returned by the boxes parameter), QuarkXPress Server
Manager ignores the qxpsm_responseredirect=true parameter and returns the frameset
page.
•
qxpsm_timeout: This parameter lets you specify a timeout (in milliseconds) for a specific
request. If this parameter is absent or set to 0, the global timeout value is used. To disable
timeout for a request, use the value –1.
•
qxpsm_servername: By default, the target QuarkXPress Server instance for each request
is determined by the QuarkXPress Server Manager server's load-balancing system. To send
a request to a specific QuarkXPress Server instance, set this parameter to the name or IP
address of that QuarkXPress Server instance. Note that if you use this parameter with an
IP address, you must also submit the port number using the qxpsm_serverport parameter.
•
qxpsm_serverport: If you use the qxpsm_servername parameter with an IP address,
supply the corresponding port number as this parameter's value.
•
qxpsm_usecache: If you set this value to false, the request will be rendered regardless of
whether it is cached and regardless of whether caching is enabled at the global level.
•
qxpsm_username: The value of this parameter, if supplied, is used as the "Admin User"
value when the request is forwarded to a QuarkXPress Server instance.
•
qxpsm_password: The value of this parameter, if supplied, is used as the "Admin Password"
value when the request is forwarded to a QuarkXPress Server instance.
•
qxpsm_responseasurl: By default, QuarkXPress Server Manager writes responses as
temporary files in the cache folder and returns a URL to the client. This approach prevents
the performance degradation that can result from sending binary data using SOAP. However,
you might want QuarkXPress Server Manager to return the response directly if you are
creating an application that processes that response (simple or multipart) with its own
logic. To make QuarkXPress Server Manager send a response to the browser rather than
the URL of the temporary files in the cache, set this value to false. (Note that setting this
value to false might result in decreased performance.)
