COLLECTION POINTSReal world example


Customer demands• Get a collection point from postal

code• Set attributes on a collection point• Get all postal codes that a collection

point serves• Support multiple service providers


Example – Customer demand


Standard functionality demands

• Handle changes • Geo-tagging• Multiple addressess• Versioning• Blacklisting – for different customers• Use ranges (Canada has 800000 postal codes)• Support differnt kinds (standard, Lantbrevbärare, box-

address)• Prioritization if multiple collection points• Administration - common for collection points –

exceptions by customer• Prestanda - < 0,2 sec for WS-search

CENTIRO NEOReal world example


Basic Information Area build up

Shipping

Planning

Finance

New area

CPort

ESB

Global

Information areas are independent of each others and should have no deployment or compile time dependencies

Information between areas should be communicated via ESB

Global should be master data information area but in other aspects as any other information area

CPort has special services for authentication, in other aspects as any information area


Silverlight user interface

Shipping

Planning

Finance

CPort

Global

The Silverlight user interface is based on a shell that in itself contains no information storage.

The only purpose of the shell is to provide an infrastructure for displaying screens from all information areas and to provide basic functionality as authentication, menus etc.

The shell only knows of CPort. CPort provides links to all other information areas that are allowed for current user. CPort also provides menu and client permissions.

All information areas that uses the shell as UI must know the Shell.

Shell

At startup, Shell enforces user to login to CPort in order to get menu structure and links to information areas that user has access to
