Working with Messaging Service
Learn about the Messaging Service and its various use cases.
The Messaging Service serves as a bridge between information publishers and subscribers. It forwards the published information to WebSocket subscribers.
The publishers are typically third party integration services or the Infinity Case engine, while the subscribers are UI components in browsers running Constellation UI.
The Messaging Service is exposed to browsers and publishers through a network IP address. This IP address is passed to the browser during the initial portal load from a Dynamic System Setting (DSS) in Infinity. This IP address is used by publishers for HTTP POST calls and by subscribers for Web Socket Secure (WSS) connections.
In a client/browser, the Messaging Service is accessed through the PCore getMessagingServiceManager() API.
