Hi Folks
I'm in the early stages of building an app to intercept then relay XML data between servers and I'm looking for ideas and techniques I could use to achieve this goal. What I have is an eCommerce site and a merchant api. I want to build in a middle step so I can log additional information regarding a sale that neither the ecommerce app or the merchant site stores but is present in the XML data. Here's the process broken into steps:
Code:
ECOMMERCE SERVER
\/
Posts XML purchase data, waits for response
\/
CODEIGNITER SERVER
\/
relays XML purchase data, waits for response
\/
MERCHANT GATEWAY
\/
responds with XML data
\/
CODEIGNITER SERVER
\/
Stores detailed purchase data on server, relays response to ecommerce server
\/
ECOMMERCE SERVER
\/
Stores selected purchase data
For licensing reasons, we cannot make any changes to the ecommerce software, hence the code igniter solution.
I'm interested to know if there is anything already out there that could help me achieve this (like an XML relay or proxy for codeigniter) or if any other solutions come to mind.
Many thanks
George
