Sample Action Event Definitions

Sending Email to a Static Recipient

<action-item enabled="true">

<name>Email Joe</name>

<type>regular-email</type>

<target>joe@nowhere.com</target>

<send-from>dge</send-from>

<on-demand>true</on-demand>

</action-item>

The web application sends a request to the DGE with all the required information. If the request processor does not know how to process the action item of type=regular-email, it sends back a failure code, otherwise the requested action is performed and a success/failure response is sent back to the web application. In absence of a "timeout" value, a default value of 60 seconds is enforced.
