	port	port for which the web service is accessible, e.g. 4445
	path	path and query string of the web service URL, e.g. `/jobscheduler/agent/api/`
	protocol	protocol in use including `http, https`
com.sos.jitl.restclient.JobSchedulerRestClient.postRestService	host	hostname or ip address of the web service, e.g. `localhost`
	port	port for which the web service is accessible, e.g. 4445
	path	path and query string of the web service URL, e.g. `/jobscheduler/agent/api/`

Basically a web service call is implemented by executing one of the above methods from the JITL Java class:

var response = com.sos.jitl.restclient.JobSchedulerRestClient.executeRestService( "http://localhost:44445/jobscheduler/agent/api/" );

same as

var response = com.sos.jitl.restclient.JobSchedulerRestClient.executeRestServiceCommand("get", "http://localhost:44445/jobscheduler/agent/api/" );

The result object returned by the web service can be converted to a JavaScript JSON object by use of the eval() function:
```
eval ( "var jsonObject = " + response + ";" );
```
Properties of the JSON object can be accessed with the object hierarchy as provided by the web service like this:
```
jsonObject.system.hostname
```

Example

JavaScript sample example for use with a job: this job requests the status information from the JobScheduler Universal Agent and returns the total number of tasks that have been executed during the Agents' lifetime. This job reads the web service URL from a job parameter.
