On-demand Application Integration as a Service is an interesting
marketing claim that could mean lots of things.
The demo illustrates a new supply chain consisting of a single data
producer and a single consumer of that data. Familiarity with Publish
Subscribe Messaging is assumed as is the prior existence of a b2bpo
demo user
with name dogtown making
use of a Pub/Sub Topic named google in order to connect publishers and
subscribers. The demo's business context is a situation where Google Searchs take the place of
normal shareable business data. The Demo captializes on Google's Web
Service API's, using a customized "search" form in order to generate
new "search" data on the demo supply chain (steps 7, 8 in table below).
Active Subscribers in the demo receive any and all searches processed
while their subscription is active (steps 1 - 6 in table). Each demo
search form submission constitutes an event in the supply chain whose
associated data (google
search results) needs distribution to the other supply chain partners (
subscribers to google topic).
Due to the use of a polling protocol, the
Subscriber goes first in this demo by using the main "topic" menu to
find the "google" subscription and launching a polling process that
will periodically request new "updates" on the "google" topic.
After the subscription is invoked, the user changes hats, using the
simple Google Search dialog in order to process searches and to publish
some search data to any active subscribers. The net result is
that any searches executed by you or by anyone else during the time
window for your subscription will produce a standard html page of
google results that will be transferred, by a web service request, to
your desktop where it appears as a file icon.
The CRM link that concludes the table below is not required for running demos. Independently, it handles signups for new customers wanting to experiment with their own Pub/Sub Topics.
