    public interface SubscriptionBean
extends WebBean
    This bean represents a Narrowcast subscription. This helps you to manage subscriptions to reports and documents that will be delivered as
    • Email
    • a File
    • a Print job
    The important functionality this bean provides is:
    • creating new subscripitions by defining appropriate content,address, trigger and personalization
    • edit an existing subscription by initializing this bean with an appropriate id
    • delete an existing subscription
    This bean can be created using WebBeanFactory.newSubscriptionBean() Once created, the bean needs to associated with a content, a trigger and an address before it can be saved The content is defined using a valid report/document. This is set using setContent(String, int). The trigger to be used with this subscription is defined using setTriggerID(String). The address to be used with this subscription is defined by adding a new address ID to the list retrieved using getAddresses().

      • getAddresses

        SimpleList getAddresses()

        Returns:
        an editable SimpleList of addressIDs. Each element is of type String

        key - the location key.
