Remarks

Request objects are created using Service.CreateRequest(string) or Service.CreateAuthorizationRequest(). They are used with Session.SendRequest(Request, UserHandle, EventQueue, CorrelationID, String) or Session.SendAuthorizationRequest(Request, UserHandle, EventQueue, CorrelationID, String). The Request object contains the parameters for a single request to a single service. Once a Request has been created its fields can be populated directly using the convenience functions set() and append() or using the Element interface on the Element returned by AsElement.

The schema for the Request can be queried using the Element interface on the Element returned by AsElement.
