Creating a dynamic service gateway
IBM® Integration
Designer provides
a pattern that is a fast path to generate a service gateway, along
with all the required artifacts. In a dynamic service gateway,
the endpoint address of the service provider is determined within
the mediation flow by looking up information from a database, a registry
or from the message contents. The mediation flow typically modifies
the header information in the message.
About this task
This topic describes how to use the pattern to create a service gateway. The pattern provides a starting point to create common service gateway scenarios. You can also create a service gateway by creating all the artifacts yourself. For more information, see Importing the ServiceGateway interface and schema
To create a dynamic service gateway from the pattern, follow these instructions:
Procedure
- In the main toolbar, click Open Patterns Explorer.
- Select Dynamic Service Gateway, right click and select Create a Pattern Instance.
- Enter a name in the Pattern instance name field. This name will be used for the integration solution and referenced projects that are created for the pattern.
- Click OK. The Configure Pattern Parameters page opens.
- In a dynamic gateway, the address of the service provider is determined at run time. From the list of routing options, select the method by which the service provider will be determined.
- If you want to log request and response messages, choose an option from the list of logging options. .
- Select the export and import transport protocols from the list of supported protocols.
- If you need to set header information for the imports, check the Set header information box.
- Click Generate. The business integration view opens showing the generated projects.
- Click Summary to see the details of the generated artifacts, and to determine your next steps to finish implementing the gateway.
