Abstract: A method for implementing commands includes storing data defining command operations in a memory. The data defining command operations include a hierarchy of Uniform Resource identifiers (URIs) and Extensible Markup Language (XML) document schema defining XML documents. The method also includes receiving a command request from a remote computer. The command request contains an URI and a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) method. Further, the method includes determining a command operation based on the data defining command operations stored in the memory and the command request received, and executing the command operation based on the command request.

Abstract: A method for invoking web services includes invoking a command-line program. The program receives a plurality of parameters. The method further includes generating a web service request based on the plurality of parameters. The web service request comprises an extensible markup language (XML) document, and the XML document comprises information indicating an application command. The method also includes transmitting the web service request to a server using a network communication protocol.

Abstract: A method for invoking an application command includes generating a web service request. The web service request includes an extensible markup language (XML) document in the body of the web service request. The XML document includes information indicating an application command. The method further includes transmitting the web service request to a server using a network communication protocol.

Abstract: A method for implementing notifications. The method includes storing data defining notification operations in a memory. The data defining notification operations include a hierarchy of Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) and Extensible Markup Language (XML) document schema defining XML documents. The method further includes receiving a notification command including an URI and a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) method; determining a notification operation based on the data defining notification operations stored in the memory and the notification command received; and executing the notification operation based on the notification command.
