Providers

Providers are a concept of this library to design some agent that operate with any service that provide communication capabilities.

The concrete provider selected by service to manage a send operation is made by one parameter: the kind of channel for both, sender and recipient.

By default, two providers are implemented, one for email and another one for sms:

email through JavaMail API with the cat.albirar.communications.providers.email.javamail.impl.JavaMailSenderEmailProvider implementation class. See javamail
SMS through Click & Send SMS service provider with cat.albirar.communications.providers.sms.clickandsend.ClickAndSendSmsSenderProvider implementation class. See ClickAndSend

You can use these or any other that you want.

Implementing providers

Any provider implementation class should implement any of the two following interfaces:

cat.albirar.communications.providers.email.IEmailProvider for email provider
cat.albirar.communications.providers.sms.ISmsSenderProvider for SMS provider

The communications should to be made asynchronously. Any problem should to be notified throwing a cat.albirar.communications.providers.ProviderException.

The “registration” of new providers is made by spring scanning components and will be autowired to the list of the service providers.
