6. A method of routing information in a data processing system comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a data package including a descriptor file in a first inbox of an information router from a first external system;
recording the receipt of the data package in an event transaction logging database;
transmitting the data package to a package examination engine;
reading the descriptor file in the package examination engine;
comparing information in the descriptor file to a routing table;
following an error procedure included in the routing table if the information in the descriptor file does not match an entry in the routing table or if there is a package error; and
transmitting the data package to a destination system based on corresponding routing information included in the routing table if the information in the descriptor file matches an entry in the routing table. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39, 40)

28. A system for routing information in a data processing system comprising:
an information router for routing a data package including a package examination engine for reading a descriptor file for the data package including descriptive information about the data package;
a decision engine for comparing the descriptive information in the descriptor file to routing information in a routing table; and
a routing engine to route the data package to a destination system based on the routing information from the routing table, if the descriptive information in the descriptor file matches a routing information entry in the routing table, and to follow an internal error procedure if the descriptive information in the descriptor file does not match a routing information entry in the routing table or if there is a package error.
