Application-to-RTMF-Service Messaging 

Server applications can use RTMF to communicate with RTMF services, which are Java classes that provide business logic to be executed when a message is received. The service can perform, for example, database updates or other tasks, and then can determine to whom to forward the message.

The following shows the runtime flow when an application communicates with an RTMF service (all communication is via the RTMF server):

...

       1.      An application sends a message to an RTMF service.

       2.      The service receives the message and performs business logic – for example, updating objects or calling databases.

       3.      The service can send messages to another RTMF service, which performs different business logic.

       4.      The service can also publish events to clients, for example, to inform them of updates on the server or requests from another application.
