Broadcaster is a module and web service which adds the ability to send batch e-mail messages to preselected groups of constituents in inResonance’s core FileMaker solutions. While the list management and message composition is managed by FileMaker, a web component was required to create unique identifiers for each client as well as track information about each e-mail broadcast:

  • Which recipient(s) read a given e-mail
  • Which link(s) a recipient followed out of a given e-mail

Clients can access this information in CSV or FMPXMLRESULT format via unique URLs.

Weather Module

Trinity Pawling School wanted to display local weather conditions on their home page. I created a custom controller servlet which looks up weather data from the NOAA’s XML feeds and parses it into a custom JavaBean which is then displayed in a view on the homepage. The view takes advantage of RTSB’s native cacheing functionality, and can be set to refresh itself at any desired interval.
