Sending Service java-less version
Purpose
The Sending Service is our solution for the automatic transmission of reports and documents to authorities.
It is an application consisting of a set of processes (called listeners) that periodically exchange files with authorities through a set of designated folders. Everything is configured via an administration interface.
This solution is useful if you have a large number of reports to submit or if the manual sending does not suit your needs.
Please be aware that, in this case you will have to provide the files yourself according to the authorities' file specifications.
This tool is compatible with most of the current operating systems (Windows / Unix / Linux) and is usually installed on a server on your side.
With a suitable network mapping, users can simply drop the file to be sent into the appropriate directory. It is then automatically encrypted and sent.
