Saryada,
NS is designed to do exactly what you're asking for. NS has the concept of
instances and applications. Think of an instance as a container for a set of
related applications. In an instance you can put one or more applications
that you want to manage together.

Your config file defines an instance. Every application referred to in that
file (listed in the <Applications> element) is part of that instance. Each
application has its own ADF defining its event classes, notification classes
etc. All applications in an instance share a common set of subscribers.

Each sample that comes with NS defines its own instance with a single
application. That's why each one has its own config file.

The NS books online describes the Instances and Applications concept in
detail. Check there for more information, or you can post here if you have
follow up questions.

I'm not certain what the other poster (avnrao) means by a "generic"
application. That does not sound like the right approach for what you're
trying to do, as I understand it.
Thanks

Creating Notification Services Application I Wayan Saryada

Dear All,

From samples provided in the Microsoft Notification Services, each sample is
created as a different application. Flight, Weather, Stock is created as a
different application. Is it possible when creating a Notification Services
more that one application is created at once using a single Configuration
file? For instance Flight, Weather and Stock is created in a single
application instead of three separated Notification Services application?

Regards,
Saryada

Its not possible to merge 3 different applications in one ADF. but you
design a generic application and use generic table structures and capture
event data specific to the application and..during delivery identify the
same and use different formatters.

Hi, thanks for your respose...

So we can only have a different ADF (one for each application) and a single
Config.xml dan contains all ADF.xml?

Can you give me any resource about designing a generic application and how
to create a generic table structure? I was try to create an application that
can help user to create a NS application, so user will be able to create
application with the help with this program. What do you think? is it
possible?

Regards,
Saryada

I havent come across any resource of creating a generic application..but i
dont think that kind requirement would ever arise..
most of the applications are specific.

And your idea of creating an windows/web application to let user create NS
application is good. I started with the implementation of creating a windows
app which allows users to specify all parameters and creates ADF and
config.xml and finally deploy option. but left it mid way thru. It is very
much possible creating such kind of app.
