1.2 Architecture Overview Ponton X/P consists of the following main modules: Introduction 1. Messenger – This is the core of Ponton X/P. It transforms Messages received from the back-end (user or ERP system) into a standards conforming ebXML message. Several processing steps are performed before the ebXML message is sent to the receiver. 2. Listener – This optional module is usually located in the DMZ to receive message from the outside and to forward them to the Messenger within the secure zone of an organization. No further processing takes place by the Listener. No Listeners are required if Messengers are installed within the DMZ or if they are used for internal integration. 3. Adapters – The are many ways to integrate the Messenger with the application software in the back-end. An adapter helps bridging this gap. To name some of the adapters, Ponton X/D is a Database Adapter that maps XML payload content directly to and from a database. The Hot Folder Adapter frequently scans outbox folders and transfers these documents to the Messenger. Vice-versa, messages received from a business partner will be dropped into an inbox folder.
