What is the standard used for interfacing with external events ?
Solution: Format of data/ events: It is recommended to send XML data over JMSTopics for easy interface. In the current version, BAM supports JMA 1.1 complaint systems, and JMS Topics only. BAM supports other data sources too, but XML over JMS is considered best for high speed, real time, low payload, asynchronous, non-intrusive and gauranteed delivery. Communication Protocol: BAM predominantly uses JMS & HTTP as communication channel for incoming data. Data format is XML [no predefined schema]. Outgoing communication is SMTP for email and WSDL for webservice calls.
