Real-Time Feeds

Real-time feeds are dynamic—that is, they are produced when the user requests them. Real-time feeds are created using Integration Broker synchronous service operations. These service operations are similar to other Integration Broker service operations except that the service operation handler returns an ATOM_1_0 message.

Whenever the HTTP listening connector gets a request for a real-time feed, it invokes the appropriate synchronous service operation. It uses either the PS_TOKEN or basic authentication credentials. User authentication and service operation authorization are handled by Integration Broker; feed authorization is handled by the Feed Publishing Framework. If a user has access to the feed, then the service operation handler adjudicates any HTTP request parameters passed to it, generates an Atom feed, and returns it in an ATOM_1_0 response message.
