A service gateway has a single generic export and a single generic gateway interface. The generic gateway interface named ServiceGateway, along with schema files, is provided for you. You can import the predefined service gateway resources into your module or library.

About this task

You can quickly create all of the starter artifacts for a service gateway, including the data handlers and interfaces described here, by using pattern generators that are provided in the Patterns Explorer.

Procedure

To import the predefined ServiceGateway interface and schema, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Business Integration view, expand a module, mediation module, or library.
  2. Double-click Dependencies to open the Dependency Editor.
  3. Expand the Predefined Resources section.
  4. Select Service gateway interface.
  5. Select Native Body schema for Native Body DataHandler.

  6. In the Business Integration View, expand your project's Data Types and Interfaces category.
    Note the data types and ServiceGateway interface that are created under the StandardImportFilesGen folder in each category.

  7. Double-click the ServiceGateway interface to open it in the Interface Editor. As you can see, the interface as two operations; requestOnly and requestResponse.
