[ebmail-develop] How to validate data entered into the template

[Sena M. <s.m...@ii...>]

I am developing a mail client to upload/download Customs documentations =
from a eGateway developed by Sri Lankan government agencies  =
www.eserviceslanka.com .=20

I do this for my dissertation.

My objective is to define necessary document templates to be imported =
into ebMail client. Main document is what's called CUSDEC - customs =
declaration form.=20

When I discussed my idea with eGateway people & my supervisor, they =
expressed that it would have a significant use if this could be =
achieved.

I tried ebMail with fairly good results. I could not download mail yet =
but I should be able to sort it out. But the main issue is how to =
validate entered data (preferably within the template).

I am basically a networking guy & not a Java programmer. I took this up =
as a challenge.

Kindly advise me on the following.
    1. The location of the sample template files. So that I can play =
with them & understand the format
    2. How to incorporate checking in to the mail client

Thanks in advance for your help.

Keep up the good work !!!

Hi Sena,

Answers are as follows.

1. I am not sure what your "template file" means. If you are saying the UI
form that captures users input, we called that module as a "plugin" (which
should be written in java). EbMail supports multiple plugins that handle
different kinds of business documents. If you want to know more, there are
some plugin development guides and source code of a sample plugin, which all
of them could be downloaded from http://www.freebxml.org.

2. As said, handling of business documents is by plugin. Therefore the
checking of data should also be done inside the plugin code.

If you have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Hi Sena,

do you mean template of generated XML (as you see in "payload")?
There is no XML templates in ebMail. before, I also thought it has.
You could modify Java codes in sample plugin (which is a bit time
consuming) to make your own XML structure and also modify the client
interface - add input validation as you wish, and save/download the XML.

hope that help.

Re: [ebmail-develop] How to validate data entered into the template

[Sena M. <s.m...@ii...>]

Dear Simon,

Thanks for your reply.
I got down the documentation which provided me with necessary info. But when
I tried to compile the given sample files, the JAR files downloaded seems to
be incorrect or not in proper location in my directory.

Also most of the expected files seems to be in ebMail/lib directory in
source code.

I managed to extract class files into a directory & overcome most of the
compiling errors except for "phoenix.message.packaging" category.

Kindly advice me on the proper place to download said jar files & where to
save them in directory hierarchy. I saved it to a directory & set the
classpath to that. But may be due to my OS Win2K Advance Svr, class path not
being set.

Thanks again for your help.

Regards

Sena

Re: [ebmail-develop] How to validate data entered into the template

[Simon L. <ky...@ce...>]

Dear Sena,

For the sample files, do you mean the sample PO plugin that could be
downloaded from http://www.freebxml.org? As you have planned to develop your
own plugin, I guess you have downloaded the ebmail_src_dist.zip from the
site. After unzipping the file, you will find 2 directories named ebmail and
poPlugin. If you are new to Java, I suggest you to use the ant tool (from
apache, which could be downloaded from http://ant.apache.org/) for compiling
the source files in order to solve the class path problem. Follow the
instructions from apache site for installing ant. After installation, go to
the directory "poPlugin" and type "ant build" will help you to compile and
build the PO plugin. Then go to the "ebmail" direcotry and type "ant run"
will help you to compile, build and run ebMail.

If you still have problem, please feel free to ask. We will always be here
to help you.

Simon
