Class AddNewMemberClient

java.lang.Object
  com.acme.webservice.client.AddNewMemberClient

public final class AddNewMemberClient
extends java.lang.Object

Example client that uses the Firedrum Web Services API.

This program uses the FWSAPI to add new Members.

The program might be readily changed so as to integrate with Client's CRM application so that changes to the Client's customer database were reflected in the Client's Firedrum campaign database.

Notes:

• Before using this program as a basis for further development, you may wish to change the package name and location.
