hi all - looking at using FHIR based implementation of a message queue/mailbox as a specific recipient List of Bundles (messages) - so would poll and pop messages on delivery. Is there a better way or any thoughts on how to?

@Brett Esler instead of polling, you might also be able to leverage subscription:

brett, do consider the async pattern associated with message delivery
Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 01 2016 at 17:08):
I'm doing the same right now. We're just doing a RESTful POST of messages to the Bundle endpoint (mailbox). Receiver queries the endpoint, then deletes messages once they have custody. Functions out-of-the-box using pure REST.

yes that will work too

Thanks all - most helpful

@Brett Esler, So this is more-or-less the SMD gateway functionality for retrieving messages?
Brett Esler (Jun 06 2016 at 02:08):
@Brian Postlethwaite yes heading that way; at the moment planning for a sender to just hold a queue for delivery- but expect a full interemediary might be useful - but it might look more like a pub-sub-hub
Brett Esler (Jun 06 2016 at 03:01):
@Brian Postlethwaite yes that is it for now...
