Alias: DOJO FIND PORT

FIND PORT

The FIND PORT function is needed to find out a port where to send message. To send a message, we need to know the address of that message port. A message box is identified by a unique identifier, called portId. So the first useful operation is to find out the port id to use to send the message. This is exactly the purpose of this function.

So basically three pieces of information are needed to identify that mailbox. First of all, you need an identifier that allows the user to be recognized by the DOJO server (sessionId). Secondly, you need to know the identifier of the user who owns that mailbox (username). Finally, it is essential to know the name of the application on whose behalf we are looking for the mailbox (application).
