Subject: [trans-ws] Re: Notification information



I'm afraid the Notification section was a phantom section I'd intended to
add (hadn't realised I still referred to it). Sorry.

Essentially what it amounts to, is dealing with the fact that a Web Service
is a client initiated interface, so there's no obvious way for the server
to "push" information back. The way I see it there are two primary options
in this regard -

   1. Email notification
      A return email address could be presented by the client, when
      accepting the quote. There would then be a standard notification
      message sent (we would have to define the format, which would include
      the job ticket) to this address on job completion (or on job error ?
      query ?)

   2. Presentation of a return Web Service
      We would have to define another standard service that could be
      offered by a client for return notification. The idea is that the
      client would simply have to supply the URL at which this service is
      available. This is more flexible, but many users may not be in a
      position to supply it. There are two reasons for this -
         Smaller users may not be hosting their own sites, or may not even
         have a fixed URL
         Corporate users may have a large security overhead in presenting
         an external web service

Most workflows should be able to work off email notification, but it's
low-tech and can be awkward. Probably a requirement to support this for
lower tech users however, even if we do the return service aswell.

Regards,
-Bill.

Hi Bill,

The Trans-WS TC was looking at the rtf which you forwarded in January and
could not find the 'Notification information' mentioned in the mail.

Can you explain to the TC what this means.

Thanks,

Peter.
