Background

The Email Service is a reference implementation that began a learning project for a research assistance hired by the Integration Competency Center of the Administrative Information Technology Services department of the University of Illinois with an award received from the Mellon Foundation for recognition of work done for the Project.

The Email Service is soon to be deployed into the AITS ESB and is used in examples for the PESC EdUnify Task Force.
The Email Service is simple but its use is profound. There is one message object defined, EmailService, and only one action supported, Create. The service guarantees that the email will be sent. There is no confirmation, that would be a nice feature for the future. But just by performing this basic service, lots of enterprise applications can discard hundreds of lines of code that would be dedicated to this task. Moreover, the enterprise can benefit from a consoldated store of outgoing mails without having to wade into SMTP data.
