Interfaces

Accela client products and third-party products integrate with the Civic Platform application server through the Accela GovXML API, the Accela REST API, one of many provided web services, or a pre-built adapter. The image below illustrates these interfaces. GovXML uses an XML based request and response paradigm, and an HTTP based service, that communicates with the Civic Platform application server. Accela external web services use a standard request/response web service architecture. The web and CFMX servers also invoke Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) on the Civic Platform application server.
