Before you start

This tutorial provides instructions to integrate WebSphere Commerce V7.0 with external systems using WebSphere Message Broker V7.0 (hereafter called Message Broker). This will showcase an external inventory check scenario where WebSphere Commerce needs to contact an external system to fetch the inventory details of a product. We will deal with Web services based integration where Message Broker acts both as the middleware and as a Web service provider (used to simulate a third party inventory system), while WebSphere Commerce acts as the service consumer. Securing the Web services using certificates generated by a Certificate Authority (CA) will also be discussed.

Objectives

Learn how to:

  • Use a sample inventory check scenario to showcase the Web services based integration between WebSphere Commerce and Message Broker.
  • Configure WebSphere Commerce to talk to an external system.
  • Use Message Broker as the middleware platform to integrate applications and perform data transformations.
  • Configure Message Broker as a Web service provider, which will be consumed by WebSphere Commerce to request for inventory information.
  • Configure WebSphere Commerce and Message Broker to secure the Web service request and response.
  • Use XCA (graphical tool used to create and manage X.509 certificates) and the IBM Key Management tool to create and manage certificates.
