Services (beans):

• IncomingShipment
  Create IncomingShipment with details from where it came from.
• DocumentRecognizeFormat
  Recognize the document format e.g. XML, EDIFACT, Invoice.
• DocumentValidationSchema
  Check if the document has the correct message structure e.g. XML, EDI.
• DocumentValidationBusiness
  Check if the document is correct with business validation rules e.g. REGEX of id.
• Parser
  Parse the text of message to POJO.
• Transformation
  Transform the document to other format.
• OutgoingShipment
  Determine the outgoing shipment (endpoints, recipient) to which the document should be sent.
• SenderEndpoint
  Send and receive messages via endpoints.

Objective

• An ideally run project that can be used as a model for other projects.
  • Clean code.
  • Clean, short and concise documentation closely related and mapping specific areas of the code.
• Comparison of different technologies for the same use cases.
• Base code for articles.

Project plan

• Design a skeleton of classes and interfaces that simulate happy flow in Java SE.
• Add Spring Boot.
• Add Spring Web Services.
• Add JPA.
• Add NoSQL.
• Deploy in cloud providers e.g. AWS, OpenShift.
• Add performance tests.
• Add large file support by streaming.
• Add JBPM.
• Deploy on Aplication Server e.g. Wildfly.
• Implement services.
• Add integration test framework.
• Add artificial intelligence to inference and adding business rules to services from integration testing.

Examples of projects

1. Invoice Integration

The example application that transmits an invoice from the seller to the buyer.

1.1 Example of Business Flow

#	Step	Service
	Receive the document from the endpoint.	IncomingShipment
1	Recognize the document format.	DocumentRecognizeFormat
2	Validate schema of the document.	DocumentValidationSchema
3	(Optional) Transform to the supported document format by DocumentValidationBusiness.	Transformation
4	Validate business validation of the document.	DocumentValidationBusiness
5	Parse the document to POJO (recipients).	Parser
...	Other business steps. (Changes in the content of the document.)
6	Determine the shipment (endpoints, recipient) to which the document should be sent.	OutgoingShipment
7	Generate the document from POJO.	Transformation or Formatter
8	(Optional) Transform to the recipient's document format.	Transformation
9	Send the document.	SenderEndpoint

TODOs

• Divide the project into microservices after the skeleton design phase. (Prototyping is faster on a single project.)
