AS3 Sending and Receiving Example in IPWorks EDI

AS3 messaging in IPWorks EDI enables secure transmission of EDI data over HTTP with support for signing, encryption, and MDN (Message Disposition Notification) handling. The process involves sending a message, receiving and processing it on the server side, and then retrieving and verifying the MDN response.

The example below outlines a complete workflow including sending an AS3 message, processing it with a receiver, and verifying the returned MDN.

//Java
//Send an EDI message
as3sender.setAS3From("testas3");
as3sender.setAS3To("testas3");
as3sender.getRecipientCerts().add(new inedi.Certificate("c:\\recipient.cer"));
as3sender.setSigningCert(new inedi.Certificate(inedi.Certificate.cstPFXFile,"c:\\sender.pfx","test","*"));
as3sender.getEDIData().setFilename("c:\\test.txt");
as3sender.setMDNTo("test@nsoftware.com"); //Doesn't matter what this is, specify any value to request a MDN
as3sender.setRemoteHost("yourftpserver");
as3sender.setUser("test");
as3sender.setPassword("test");
as3sender.setLogDirectory("c:\\as3logs\\sent");
as3sender.logon();
as3sender.setRemotePath("AS3");
as3sender.send("RemoteFile.txt");
as3sender.logoff();
System.out.println("Request uploaded");
//Record original values to process MDN later
String originalContentMIC = as3sender.getOriginalContentMIC();
String messageId = as3sender.getMessageId();
String mdnOptions = as3sender.getMDNOptions();
//With AS3Receiver process the file
as3receiver.setSignerCert(new inedi.Certificate("c:\\sender.cer"));
as3receiver.setCertificate(new inedi.Certificate(inedi.Certificate.cstPFXFile,"c:\\recipient.pfx","test","*"));
as3receiver.setRemoteHost("yourftpserver");
as3receiver.setUser("test");
as3receiver.setPassword("test");
as3receiver.setLogDirectory("c:\\as3logs\\received");
as3receiver.logon();
as3receiver.setRemotePath("AS3");
as3receiver.readRequest("RemoteFile.txt");
as3receiver.processRequest();
as3receiver.sendResponse("AS3Response.txt");
as3receiver.logoff();
//Get the response and verify it
as3sender = new As3sender();
as3sender.setReceiptSignerCert(new inedi.Certificate("c:\\recipient.cer"));
as3sender.setRemoteHost("yourftpserver");
as3sender.setUser("test");
as3sender.setPassword("test");
as3sender.logon();
as3sender.setRemotePath("AS3");
as3sender.readReceipt("AS3Response.txt");
//Set original message properties for verification
as3sender.setMessageId(messageId);
as3sender.setOriginalContentMIC(originalContentMIC);
as3sender.setMDNOptions(mdnOptions);
as3sender.verifyReceipt();
as3sender.deleteFile("AS3Response.txt");
as3sender.logoff();

This workflow demonstrates end-to-end AS3 communication, including secure message transfer and MDN validation.
