Hi all,
I have an application wich provides a service called S1.
This application is running on a remote server and is accessible via
WebServices.
What is the standard way to "publish" my service in SM. In fact the
functionnality needed is to use all provided BCs available in SM.
I can read in JBI spec :
"Service Engines are essentially standard containers for hosting
WSDL-defined service providers adnd service consumers *that are internal
to the JBI environment*"
So should I
1) create a SE for S1 which will receive messages from the NMR and
forward them to the WS BC which will call my external S1 service ?
2) create a SE for S1 which will receive messages from the NMR and
forward them directly to my external S1 service ?
3) create a BC for my S1 service ?
There is no way to "publish" a new service in SM without creating a
component (BC or SE), is that right ?
Schemas defined in JBI spec in 4.9 Examples is not the same. In fact the
message is transformed in SM using XSLT. In my case, I only want to
forward the message without any modification. So conceptually, there is
no need to have SE between BC1 and BC2...
In the case my S1 service "speaks" a proprietary language, I only have
to create a new BC, is that right ?
But if I want to use an existing BC like the one doing WS calls, is it
possible to "publish" my S1 service only by deploying a SU and telling
it is a provider ?
Thanks fors your help.
Charles
