-Framework Overview</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
-<p>This section provides an overview of the functionality and the architecture
-of the Messaging Framework collection. </p>
-<section><title>Purpose</title> <p>Messaging Framework allows client applications
-to access the functionality of installed plug-in modules through a common
-interface. This allows client applications to be designed without foreknowledge
-of the message protocols that may later be used. </p> </section>
-<section><title>Architecture</title> <p>In ROM, Messaging Framework consists
-of the Message Server executable <filepath>msexe.exe</filepath> and two framework
-DLLs <filepath>msgs.dll</filepath>, <filepath>mtur.dll</filepath>. At run-time,
-messaging clients use APIs from the framework DLLs to access the framework’s
-functionality. </p> <p>Based on two main concepts explained above, Messaging
-Framework offers the following functionality: </p> <p><b>Functionality to
-manipulate the set of plug-in modules</b> </p> <p>The Message Type Module
-(MTM) architecture allows plug-ins to add support for new message types. All
-interactions with lower-level communication protocols, for example TCP/IP
-or SMS stack, are performed by the plug-in modules. The set of installed plug-in
-modules can be changed by installing a new plug-in or removing an installed
-plug-in. Plug-in modules are identified by their name. Messaging Framework
-requires a new plug-in module to provide registration data such as its name,
-version number and function entry points. For an example of a plug-in registration
-file, see <xref href="GUID-E96D8052-0CB2-53A6-915F-133D3058DCF9.dita">MTM resource
-file</xref>. </p> <p><b>Functionality to store message entries</b> </p> <p>Messaging
-Framework provides the functionality to store message entries, index data,
-a set of streams and binary files. For information, see <xref href="GUID-D099551B-6E99-5210-B44A-693012A29DD1.dita">Types
-of Storage for a Message Entry</xref>. </p> <note>Entries always have index
-data, but they may have an empty set of streams or an empty set of associated
-files. For example, folder entries can be completely described by index data.</note> <p><b>Functionality
-to navigate the tree of message entries</b> </p> <p>Messaging Framework provides
-the tree view of message entries. The tree has a root entry. The children
-of the root entry must be entries of type service. The children of service
-entries must not themselves be entries of type service. A client application
-can begin from the root entry and, by successively finding the children of
-an entry, can traverse the whole entry tree. The initial structure of the
-message entry tree is configured by specifying a list of entries. For information,
-see <xref href="GUID-8390D842-B8A3-5042-952D-73240DB30D6B.dita#GUID-8390D842-B8A3-5042-952D-73240DB30D6B/GUID-8E01ADD0-A706-54B2-8159-E65C33274C30">Message
-Store</xref>. </p> <p><b>Interface for Messaging operations</b> </p> <p>Messaging
-Framework provides a tree view of a message consisting of the following component
-parts: subject, body, addressee list and attachments. The addressee list is
-referenced by list indices. Attachments are referenced by reference IDs generated
-by Messaging Framework. </p> <p>Messaging Framework defines a standard set
-of messaging operations that can be performed on messages, such as create,
-save, reply and forward. The behaviour of most standard messaging operations
-is particular to the message type and is therefore provided by the plug-in
-modules. It also provides an interface that enables plug-in modules to support
-additional message type specific operations. </p> <p><b>Interface for user-interface
-operations</b> </p> <p>Messaging Framework enables client applications to
-customise their user interfaces dynamically to access operations provided
-by plug-in modules for particular message types. For example, if a message
-client application has an email entry selected, it can obtain information
-on the menus and icons that it should display from the email plug-in module.
-It can also obtain information on user-interface operations that are suitable
-for use on the selected entry. For example, menu items that do not apply to
-particular entries could be greyed out. </p> <p>The standard user-interface
-operations are: open, close, copy or move from, copy to, move to, create,
-delete, undelete, edit, view, forward and reply. In addition to the standard
-user-interface operations, each plug-in module may support a set of specific
-user-interface operations. </p> <p><b>Utility functionality</b> </p> <p>Messaging
-Framework provides functionality to sort and search for text within rich or
-plain text. For more information, see <xref href="GUID-32C1FC8B-F7D2-5275-BDF2-0D662551294C.dita">Searching
-and Sorting Messages</xref>. </p> <p> </p> </section>
-<section><title>Description</title> <p>Messaging Framework is built upon the
-concepts of a message entry and a message. </p> <p>A <b>message entry</b> is
-a unit of persistent storage in the framework. The framework stores all user
-messaging data in a tree structure of message entries. Each message entry
-has a type and there are five pre-defined types: root, message, service, folder
-and attachment. The set of entry types is extensible. The concept of a message
-entry is used by the plug-in modules to store their messaging data and may
-be used by client applications to access messaging data. </p> <p>A <b>message</b> is
-mainly used by the messaging clients. By using this concept, the messaging
-clients can perform messaging operations without having to know which plug-in
-module is involved in the actual execution of the operations. For example,
-when using an email protocol a message refers to an email message and the
-messaging operations are executed by an email plug-in. The structure of a
-message is specific to a plug-in. A message may be stored as several message
-entries, or it may be stored as a single message entry. </p> </section>
