Interface Party

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<CPAObject>, CPAObject

public interface Party
extends CPAObject

The CPA Cache service API allows adapter implementations to retrieve their adapter specific configuration (CPA objects) from the local persistent and in-memory cache. The adapter specific configuration data is maintained either using the Integration Directory, or the PCK configuration UI. Independent from the scenario (central/decental AdapterFramework or PCK), the configuration objects can be retrieved with the LookupManager singleton class. For detailed documentation read the JavaDoc of that class. A list of all known configuration objects is available through the typed CPAObjectType enumeration class, which can be used in combination with the LookupManager.

The Party object corresponds to the configuration of a Party, as maintained in the Integration Directory (or the PCK configuration UI). The Party and Service objects represent the XI internal notation, for which the Channel and Binding (sender and receiver agreements) configuration is maintained. If an adapter handles messages where the B2B Party identifiers or Service names (in the external messaging format/protocol) are different from the XI internal notation, the adapter must use the NormalizationManager singleton class to normalize and denormalize the external Party and Service formats (e.g. DUNS, DDID) to and from the XI internal notation. This step is required, since the Inbound/Outbound runtime lookup can only be performed using the XI internal notation of Partys and Services, as configured in the Integration Directory (or PCK UI). The alternative Party and Service identifiers also need to be maintained in the configuration GUIs.
