Hi Richard,
Thanks for getting in touch with us, it's always good to hear from other ASF projects. I agree that an integration between the two projects could be quite interesting, and could actually be an extremely useful means of facilitating system<->user and user<->user communication. Here's a few thoughts: About ECAs: ECAs are pretty straight forward: when an Event occurs, if the Condition(s) are met then Action(s) are performed. The Events supported currently are Entity (EECA) events which basically correspond to database record CRUD events, Service (SECA) events which correspond the various stages of a given service's invocation (invoke, validate, commit, return, etc.) and Mail (MECA) events which occur when an email is received. Conditions are defined against whatever context is will be available when the event occurs, the record fields for an EECA, the in/out parameters for a SECA and the email contents for a MECA (from, to, subject, etc.) Actions are just OFBiz services to be invoked when the conditions are met. Sending event notifications: ECAs are the way to go for this and we'd just define services to be used as actions which send the message to ESME. You'd probably create a single generic service that is used to send any message and then use that service within other services for sending specific messages e.g. an ECA would invoke sendPurchaseOrderChangeNotification which would prepare the message contents and call sendEsmeMessage to actually send the message. Receiving messages: For this we could either create a new type of ECA specifically for ESME messages or perhaps even generalize MECAs to support any type of message so that it stands for Message rather then Mail. ECAs would then be defined and evaluated when an ESME message is received and service actions invoked to handle any processing and responses that need to occur. Additionally as part of the sending/receiving process we'd probably want to store the messages an CommunicationEvent records but that should be pretty straightforward using the existing services that are available. For storing each user's ESME address we'd just use the ContactMech entity with a new ContactMechType. For chat I guess things will be a little more complicated because OFBiz would want to play some sort of a role in logging messages and as Hans mentioned restricting communication between parties depending on there roles and permissions within the system. I'm also assuming that ESME is only concerned with sending and receiving messages so the responsibility of managing things like this and other chat features (chat buddies, rooms, status, etc.) would fall upon the chat client rather than ESME? But anyway I hope some of this is helpful and although I don't really have any time to spare at the moment to work on an integration, I just wanted to send something along to let you know that I think an integration would be quite useful and that there is some interest among the community.

Richard, depending on the applicability, this integration could be a
really interesting way of dealing with many of these types of "events" in OFBiz - as well as leveraging another ASF project to do so. Please keep the information coming from your end. The chat feature would be a great way to prototype the integration and to give OFBiz another feature that I'm sure many people are looking for.

OFBiz service invocation, database operation or email receipt. We don't have a REST API for invoking services, there is basic support via SOAP, JMS or HTTPS (but not what you'd call REST). Services can also be invoked using HTTP(S) POSTs via our standard request handler (typically used for serving regular web pages and ajax calls) but that requires a little additional legwork in that you have to define request-event-response mappings in our XML based web app controllers. > Or if there some > sort of ECA for dealing with email events, then we can also use an > action that sends email. Possible, but I'd prefer: > If you want a deeper integration, you could > have a bot that uses one of our various APIs > (http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ESME/API) to read the > message queue and then create OFBiz events. This sounds like the way to go, I'll take a look at the link as soon as I get a chance. With that said, is there any way to push the messages to OFBiz rather than polling a message queue? > The integration via actions is very easy from the ESME side but on the > OFBiz side you would need some sort of mechanism to parse the message > to be able to call the appropriate OFBiz functionality. Yeah that should be pretty straight forward using an ECA style approach, whenever a message comes in the ECAs are evaluated. For the conditions against the message bodies we could perhaps start off with regex pattern matching conditions and maybe evolve it to conditions like "contains-tag" or something like that (I still have reading to do, a lot of this is foreign to me having never used twitter). >> Additionally as part of the sending/receiving process we'd probably >> want to >> store the messages an CommunicationEvent records but that should be >> pretty >> straightforward using the existing services that are available. >> For storing >> each user's ESME address we'd just use the ContactMech entity with >> a new >> ContactMechType. > > Why would you need to store the user's ESME address?

I'm thinking mostly in terms of things like a sales rep wanting to review their communication history with a customer, we typically use our CommunicationEvent db table for that, e.g. logging phone calls, user and system generated emails and the like. For general archiving I guess we'd just rely on whatever ESME has in place (if anything). >> mentioned restricting communication between parties depending on >> there roles >> and permissions within the system. > > ESME has the idea of pools to deal with restricting access.

I stumbled across Apache Wookie (http://incubator.apache.org/wookie/)
the other day and found it quite interesting, any plans on creating W3C Widget spec'd ESME clients? I'd be interested in seeing what could be done to add support for W3C Widgets in OFBiz, either standalone or wrapped in our portlets that Bruno mentioned.
