- Now, you can "call" that PJS module as a web service from a browser, using the URL http://localhost:8081/run/pjstips/pjstips_02_1 . The format of the URL is http://host:port/run/<Route Path>, where <Route Path> is as shown in the picture above.
- If you want to pass parameters to the PJS module from the browser, you can use query string parameters, in the format of :
- <yourURL>?parm1=value1&parm2=value2
