A Kuali Rice Component There are several

middleware components that make up Rice

KEN is one of them Each component works

with the others to provide complementary technical functionality

The Tools Java SDK 1.5+ Spring Framework

Service interface and implementations Spring MVC

Apache OJB Object relational mapper

Oracle 10g

Sending a Notification: s2s Java API - Java services

POJO in and POJO outNotification n = new Notification();n.addRecipient(“TestUser1”);…NotificationResponse response = notificationService.sendNotification(n);

String in and String out (XML)String notificationXml = <construct me some XML>;String response = notificationService.sendNotification(notificationXml);

Web service invocation String in and String out (XML)

Page 15: Kuali Enterprise Notification

Notification Request as XML

Page 16: Kuali Enterprise Notification

Content Types Two content types provided out-of-

the-box: Simple

Event

Page 17: Kuali Enterprise Notification

Flexible Content Types To add a new content type:

1. Write the sample XML for inside of the <content> tag

2. Write the XSD to validate your content type

3. Write the XSL to transform your content type during rendering

4. Register the new content type in the system administrator’s UI

Page 18: Kuali Enterprise Notification

Flexible Delivery Endpoints Java interface to implement

Specify properties that would get set by a user in their preferences

Property values would be used to actually deliver the message

• Mobile phone #• Email address

Implement the “deliver()” method• Call out to an SMS API• Call out to an Email API
