Controlling the Junos XML Management
Protocol Session

Client Application's Role in a Junos XML Protocol Session

Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.
This chapter explains how to start and terminate a session with the Junos XML protocol
server, and describes the Extensible Markup Language (XML) tag elements from the
Junos XML management protocol that client applications and the Junos XML protocol
server use to coordinate information exchange during the session. It discusses the
following topics:
Client Application's Role in a Junos XML Protocol Session on page 25
Establishing a Junos XML Management Protocol Session on page 26
Exchanging Information with the Junos XML Protocol Server on page 45
Locking and Unlocking the Candidate Configuration or Creating a Private
Copy on page 52
Ending a Junos XML Protocol Session and Closing the Connection on page 55
Displaying CLI Output as XML Tag Elements on page 56
Example of a Junos XML Protocol Session on page 56
To create a session and communicate with the Junos XML protocol server, a client
application performs the following procedures, which are described in the
indicated sections:
Establishes a connection to the Junos XML protocol server on the routing platform,
1.
as described in "Connecting to the Junos XML Protocol Server" on page 37.
Opens a Junos XML protocol session, as described in "Starting the Junos XML Protocol
2.
Session" on page 38.
(Optional) Locks the candidate configuration or creates a private copy, as described
3.
in "Exchanging Information with the Junos XML Protocol Server" on page 45. Locking
the configuration prevents other users or applications from changing it at the same
time. Creating a private copy of the configuration enables the application to make
changes without affecting the candidate or active configuration until the copy
is committed.
