In this release, Location Awareness Services for WebSphere® Premises Server aligns with the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach by enabling alert-driven business processes.
Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Premises Server is able to call Web services and trigger a business process in case of a business alert. To set this up, customers must register a Web service and define proprietary filter criteria for the Web service to be called. Then when Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Premises Server issues an alert via CEI, a MDB listener is called, which checks whether the filter criteria for a Web service are met and calls the Web service with the common base event containing the details of the alert.
Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Premises Server provides sample Web services and customers can also create their own. The following scenarios provide examples of how you might use the provided Web services in a warehouse environment to implement business processes.
