Interface INotification

All Superinterfaces:

IPMElement

public interface INotification

extends IPMElement

Defines an object to act as a notification dispatcher. An INotification object is bound to a node element and can be asked to fire a notification to interested parties when a work item is created at the node.

Currently, the only format used for notifications in the Process Manager server is mail, although this framework is generic enough to support additional formats in the future (for instance, HTTP).
