RFID Information Server
The RFID Information Server (IS) is a J2EE application that serves as an interface for
the capture and query of EPC-related data. EPC-related data can include tag observation
data from Event Managers as well as information that maps EPCs to higher-level busi-
ness data. The RFID IS is typically used to translate a set of low-level observations into
higher-level business functions. It has been qualified on the Sun Java System
Application Server Version 8.1 and on BEA Weblogic 9.0. Other applications interface
with the IS through XML message exchange. The IS provides an XML message interface
over HTTP and JMS message transports and persists all data in a JDBC-compliant rela-
tional database. The IS has been qualified with Oracle 8i, Oracle 9i, Oracle 10g, and
PostgreSQL 8.0.3.
SDK
The well-documented SDK allows developers to extend the product if they choose to
create a custom application rather than using the components as they are shipped.
Version 3.0 of this product adds support for the latest readers and printers. The product is
built on top of Jini 2.0.1, Rio 3.1, the Java Web Services Developer Pack 1.5, and the Sun
Java System Application Server 8.1, but it is designed for maximum portability and sup-
ports a wide variety of platforms, including Solaris, Linux, Windows XP, and an ALE
implementation for J2ME CDC (embedded devices).
