Service requester is an application that sends service execution request (request message) to HCSC server. On receiving service component (RESTful Web service) execution request, service requester sends request message to HTTP adapter.

HTTP adapter sends request message to service component that is defined in the adapter and executes the service component.

When the process in service component is complete, response message is sent as a process result to HTTP adapter. The response message is notified to the business in-charge via the service requester.

Furthermore, you can also send and receive files between HCSC server and service component with HTTP adapter. With this, you can use it to transfer files sent from client to Web server and, send and receive files between Web servers.
