• HTTP: Lets you interact with the server using URLs that contain calls or point to XML
files that contain calls. You can write client applications in any language that supports
HTTP requests. For more information, see "Getting started: HTTP and HTTPS".
• HTTPS: Provides secure HTTP access.
• Web services: Lets you interact with the server via Web services using the
QuarkXPress Server Manager object model. You can write client applications in Java, .NET,
or any other programming language that can consume SOAP-based Web services. For more
information, see "Getting started: Web services".
To develop a custom load balancer or a custom application in Java, you must have
version 1.5 or 1.6 of the JDK.
The Dynamic Publishing Process (DPP)
The Dynamic Publishing Process (DPP) has several stages. You may not need to use all of
these stages every time, but this the order in which they occur:
• Pre-Processing Stage: During this stage, QuarkXPress Server performs any necessary initial
steps, such as creating style sheets, colors, and H&J rules for a new QuarkXPress project.
• Content Loading Stage: During this stage, QuarkXPress Server loads dynamic content into
boxes in the project.
• Layout Modification Stage: During this stage, QuarkXPress Server modifies the layout of the
project.
• Post-Processing Stage: During this stage, QuarkXPress Server examines the project and
performs maintenance tasks.
Getting started
The topics below describe how to create requests for the QuarkXPress Server Web interface.
For information about the options available in such requests, see "Using the Web interface."
Getting started: HTTP and HTTPS
You can submit HTTP and HTTPS requests to QuarkXPress Server as URLs, either manually
from a browser or automatically from an HTTP client application. QuarkXPress Server
processes such requests and returns rendered content in the HTTP or HTTP responses.
Depending on the type of request, the QuarkXPress Server preferences, and the type of
content returned, the rendered content may be downloaded by the end user, displayed in
the end-user's browser, or saved to a file system location accessible to QuarkXPress Server.
You can write a QuarkXPress Server client application in almost any language that can
generate HTTP GET/POST requests. A QuarkXPress Server HTTP-based solution typically
consists of QuarkXPress Server (running on a server computer connected to a network)
