Publish service alerts.

Overview

AlertUtil

## Overview

The alert support within the Publish Services enables applications to send alert notifications. The alert message is the text that is used to notify a user of an alert condition. Alerts enable applications to provide personalized notification to its users. Alerts can be routed as email or deposited in DAV for display in a portlet.

## AlertUtil

Once the decision has been made to send an alert notification, `com.sas.services.publish.alerts.AlertUtil` can be used to send the alert message. This is a utility class that takes an incoming XML message, parses it, processes the specified template by substituting any merge variables, and determines where to send the resulting alert notification. View the AlertUtil javadoc for more details on the XML format.
