Connecting to an external CORBA application
Connecting to an external CORBA
application involves importing an IDL file, creating a message flow,
building a message, and processing the response from the CORBARequest node.
Before you start:An IDL file
is used to configure the CORBARequest node. Ensure that
you have a valid IDL file that contains elements that are supported
by IBM® Integration Bus. The CORBA IDL file
must contain at least one interface that has one operation. For more
information, see CORBA support.
To connect to an external CORBA application,
complete the following steps.
- Create an integration project.
- Import an IDL file into the IBM Integration Toolkit, as described in Message Sets: Importing an IDL file.
- Develop a message flow that contains a CORBARequest node, as described
in Developing a message flow with a CORBARequest node.
- Build a message to send to the CORBARequest node, as described
in Building a message for the CORBARequest node.
- Process the response from the CORBARequest node, as described
in Processing responses from a CORBARequest node.
After you have deployed a message flow
that contains a
CORBARequest node,
you can change the location of the object reference by using a configurable
service. For more information, see
Defining where the CORBARequest node gets the object reference.
