process_request Method

Processes the request.

Syntax

def process_request() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method processes the request. A request is made by QuickBooks Web Connector to your web based application. The request must be read from the HTTP context by your application and passed to the request_data property.

After providing the request, call this method to process the request. The event which corresponds to the call made by QuickBooks Web Connector will fire and allow you to get or set information. Possible events that may fire when this method is called are:

• on_authenticate
• on_client_version
• on_close_connection
• on_connection_error
• on_get_interactive_url
• on_get_last_error
• on_interactive_done
• on_interactive_rejected
• on_receive_response
• on_send_request
• on_server_version

Only one of these events will fire, this is because QuickBooks Web Connector only makes one call at a time. The events provide a SessionTicket so that you can identify which events belong to which session.

After this method returns, the response_data property will be populated. You must then send the response in your code.

When sending the response you MUST set the Content-Type header to "text/xml".
