    Makesh,

    Actually I was suggesting two approaches.  One is just the traditional backend application UserMessage - but the other is using a hybrid approach with a messaging queue and messaging service.

    I've used this in production for a Grants.gov application built for NIH.

    The actual messages packages are quite large - combination of XML and PDF attachments - so the original submission goes into the queue.  The delivery system then allows external systems to query for messages waiting in the queue (actually this is a webservice via SOAP - but can easily be via ebMS too).

    Having downloaded the current messages in the queue stack - then the external system issues requests to the messaging service - and it goes and gets those from the queue and delivers them.

    Thanks, DW

    Thanks David. I didn’t think of leveraging another service to make the Message available in messaging systems. I think it would be better to have just one request sent to the messaging system. More like what Pim suggested.

    Hi David

     

    So this will need to be a UserMessage rather than a Pull SignalMessage ? Backend implementation is something we have solution for, it was more on how to get the request for a particular package when Pulling data.

     

    Thanks

    Makesh

    Makesh,

     

    This sounds a bit like interfacing with an RSS server.  Otherwise this functionality is typically backend application enabled - from the payload - rather than the messaging system.

     

    I know in RSS world people can pull delivery packages out of sequence - so priority items, or priority customers get handled first.  

     

    I assume something similar to that is what they are looking - so it would require some customization involving a delivery queue - in combination with the messaging server - so that you instruct the queue to peel a package off and route it to the AS4 server for dispatch.  So the first thing you get is a notification of a package having been added to the queue - its size, priority and its queue id # - and then you issue a request message back to the server - and it releases it from the queue at that point for actual delivery.

     

    Thanks, DW
