A service map defines how requests between service clients
and service providers are routed, transformed, or both. Create a
service map by using the New Service Map wizard
and the Service Mapping Editor in IBM® Rational® Application Developer, then deploy the
service map to WebSphere® Application Server.
Before you begin
You must have created a service map library in which to
store your service map; see Creating a service map library
You
must have WSDL files and any associated XML schema files for your
source and target services available in your workspace.
About this task
