Adding a Sales Order Line scenario

This example explains what happens when an order line is added to a Sales Order by an operator:

1.The SalesOrder EJB processes the addline in the normal way.

2.The Business Event Addline is published.

3.Control returns back to the client ready for further input.

4.The SalesOrder subscriber is a separate process that listens for SalesOrder events and receives the Addline message.

5.The subscriber calls back into the SalesOrder EJB to perform a “check for unusual quantity” request to see if the customer normally orders this amount of stock for the item concerned.

6.If the quantity ordered is unusual, the SalesOrder subscriber notifies the PC client by making a call back into the client. The client displays the notification text in the UI status bar.
