Subject: RE: [ubl-dev] Simple ODF/XForms (OOo2/SO8) for UBL 1.0 Invoice
Thanks David How about if a company like Redhat or ... were to champion this to package it all and make it as user friendly as possible? (I cannot take credit for this idea by the way) Seasons Greetings Steve >>> "David RR Webber (XML)" <david@drrw.info> 22/12/05 15:32:32 >>> Stephen, Kudos on getting this started - I've been wanting to try this for a while. Here's the 50,000 ft view of the production architecture I have in mind - using Hermes as the integration rather than email. 1) Partner goes to Registry - signs a form that autobuilds a CPA - and then downloads an installer that contains XForm + Hermes server + CPA + certificate. 2) Installs to local machine. When you hit "Submit" on the XForm it sends the XML to http://localhost:9999/hermes and that then puts it on the Hermes send queue and then connects to the central Hermes server and delivers it securely. 3) Central Hermes checks the CPA credentials against the entry in the Registry and authenticates sender. Passes to backend validation services (CAM) and application processing. 4) Responses - follow-on msgs come back to local Hermes - user has option to open local XForm menu showing sent / recieved transactions (can also easily use XSL to render these). What this gives you is secure reliable delivery with authentication in a very lightweight package that is easily deployable to a trading partner. Possible enhancements include the use of CAM as a validation service on either end (sender or receiver), and with the new CAM we're working on for release Q1 2006 - persistence from UBL to SQL database via simple XML scripting.

At present both point to file:///c:/invoice.xml so they could be changed to something like file:///home/invoice.xml (not quite sure if this is correct). It should be possible to create a simple UBL 1.0 Invoice with one form (saved locally) then use the other form to read it (from where it is saved) and convert it to pdf (OpenOffice 2 and Star Office 8 have this facility). Then either or both as appropriate could be sent say by email (for micro/small businesses this might be OK - please don't blame me if it isn't) as attachments and/or imported somehow into a finance system or spreadsheet (perhaps with an office product macro, say). Note that the first form, if used to directly create a pdf, will in OOo2/SO8, produce a form that can be edited before printing and this would be unacceptably risky for sending as an Invoice. Again, please accept that the use of the forms is at users own risk. All the best Stephen Green PS Really loved Juha's UBL greeting customisation!
