This tutorial is for J2EE developers struggling to find the best method of incorporating disparate environments and looking for an easy way to leverage standard data access methodologies for consuming data. With WebSphere Information Integrator, developers can access data -- ultimately propagated from a Web Service -- through a simple SQL call or any other method one normally uses to access data from a database. This tutorial will show you how to tie DB2 to a back-end Web service creating virtual tables you can access directly from a standard Web page.

Prerequisites

This tutorial assumes you are familiar with J2EE development methods. Because you are simply developing a standard Web application that accesses a database, the only tools you will need are your standard Web development tooling and WebSphere Information Integrator to incorporate the Web Service into DB2.
