CHAPTER

Sending Events From the RFID
Event Manager to the RFID
Information Server
The easiest way to send the RFID tag events from the RFID Event Manager to a
database is to use the Epcis connector (a component of the RFID Event Manager),
the RFID Information Server (also known as EPCIS), and an application server.
There are other ways to accomplish this task, but they require more programming.
The Epcis connector can be used with two protocols: the Java Message Service
(JMS) API and HTTP. The resulting connectors are called the EpcisHttp connector
and the EpcisJms connector.
This chapter includes the following topics:
■ Prerequisites for Using the Epcis Connectors
■ Enabling Usage of JMS With the RFID Information Server
■ Configuring the RFID Event Manager to Use an EpcisJms Connector
■ Configuring the RFID Event Manager to Use an EpcisHttp Connector
Prerequisites for Using the Epcis
Connectors
The following software must be installed and properly configured before you can
use the procedures in this chapter.
■ RFID Event Manager – See Sun Java System RFID Software 3.0 Installation Guide.
■ A supported database – See the documentation for your database
■ A supported application server – See the documentation for your application
server.
■ JDBC Drivers – See the Sun Java System RFID Software 3.0 Installation Guide.
■ RFID Information Server – See the Sun Java System RFID Software 3.0 Installation
Guide.
