IFX Implementation Guide

The IFX Business Message Specification (BMS) is intended to be used as both a framework for SOA implementations and a standard reference for message content. As practitioners build solutions based on the IFX specification they look for guidance to understand the explicit requirements of the standard, the implicit expectations of standard behavior and best practices that result in robust, maintainable solutions.

 

IFX Forum, Inc. provides this guidance to members and subscribers in the form of the IFX Implementation Guide and a companion Web Services Supplement. These detailed guides provide high level orientation to the framework, detailed discussion of key concepts, use-case walkthroughs and working code samples.

 

Accompanied by the developer productivity utilities also available to members and subscribers, these guides help jump-start development of IFX-based solutions and enhance developer productivity. Take a look at the sample of the IFX Implementation Guide to get a good idea of how these tools will help you make the most of your decision to adopt the IFX standard.
