This chapter describes the role and operations of the Conversation
Web Service in the Oracle Endeca Server and shows how to build basic queries
with it.
About the Conversation Web Service
The Conversation Web Service provides the primary means of querying data in the Oracle Endeca Server. This web service interface can be used by any front-end application powered by the Oracle Endeca Server. The interface is used by Studio to send queries (such as navigation or search queries) to the Oracle Endeca Server. You can also use it on its own.
Examples of building query requests
Each request to the Conversation Web Service consists of a filter state and a list of content element configurations and operators to compute. This topic provides examples showing the contents of a typical request.
Example of an EQL request
A request made with the Conversation Web Service can include statements in the Endeca Query Language (EQL). To make EQL requests, add EQL statements with the LQLConfig type.
