Chapter 21: Module - eKERNEL
General
eKERNEL is the core engine of the DECT Messenger, and is in the basic implementation the
only module that accesses the database.
The eKERNEL receives information from various input sources, and exchanges information
with various output sources.
Communication with eKERNEL is performed through TCP/IP stream sockets, where the
eKERNEL acts as a server. The other modules that communicate to the eKERNEL act as
clients.
All data streams are formatted in XML format, and are delimited with an <xml> start tag and
an </xml> end tag, followed by CHR$(13) and CHR$(10). Within these tags, a number of
keywords are embedded with their appropriated values.
In short, the eKERNEL is the central engine of the DECT Messenger, and controls the
functioning of all the other modules.
Figure 141: eKERNEL interface on page 191 shows the
