Event-driven Interfaces
Align applications with real business needs
Use these features to build composite applications that keep processes moving forward and everyone informed of events.
Events & notifications framework
Use the events editor to visually create custom events and associated actions that occur when events are triggered. Actions keep your applications dynamic and keep business users on top of what’s happening. They can include invoking a service, executing a client-side AJAX event or sending out e-mail or RSS notifications based on pre-defined templates.
In-place notifications
React faster to events. Because people need to know about some events right away, webMethods CAF lets you combine client-side AJAX events with in-place notification control. Any custom message can be displayed directly on the business user’s screen so they can react quickly.
My webMethods Server event interaction
My webMethods Server comes with a variety of ready-to-use events for your custom portlet applications. Using the events editor, you can visually interact with events—for example, when you want an application to react to a user log-in, a document upload or one of the many other events that My webMethods Server can trigger.
Subscriptions
Business users can choose which events they want to know about. By giving them the ability to subscribe or unsubscribe, they gain greater control and avoid getting swamped with unwanted information. It’s easy to define custom subscriptions. Pre-defined UI templates reduce the time and effort to add them to your applications.
