• Implement JRIO endpoints in app to proxy to JRIO
• Core proxy processing
• More than public JRIO REST API
• Optional and custom to your needs:
• Security checks: Block unauthorized requests, …
• Session management: Session related to security? Can’t
request an execution not initiated by this session, …
