A web script description document is an XML file that describes the URI and HTTP
method that initiates the web script. For example, the web script is given a short name and
description, along with authentication and transactional needs. URI bindings are described as
URI templates.
A detailed reference of elements in the web script description document can be found in the Web Script Description Language Reference.
An example of a web script description document follows:
<webscript>
<shortname>Blog Search Sample</shortname>
<description>Sample that finds all blog entries whose content contains the specified search term</description>
<url>/sample/blog/search?q={searchTerm}</url>
<url>/sample/blog/search.atom?q={searchTerm}</url>
<url>/sample/b/s?q={searchTerm}</url>
<url>/sample/b/s.atom?q={searchTerm}</url>
<format default="html">extension</format>
<authentication>guest</authentication>
<transaction>required</transaction>
</webscript>
