Integration projects
An integration project is a specialized container in which you create and maintain all the resources associated with one or more message flows.
Message flow projects were replaced by integration projects (previously known as Message Broker projects) in WebSphere® Message Broker Version 8.0. To migrate message flow projects, follow the instructions in Importing resources from previous versions.
- Message flows
- Subflows
- Message maps
- ESQL files
- Database definitions
- BAR files
- Test Clients
An integration project can reference a static library but not a shared library.
Integration projects are shown in the Independent Resources folder in the Application Development view. Integration project resources are created as files, and are displayed under the project. These resources define the content of the message flow, and additional objects that contain detailed configuration information. For example, a project might contain ESQL modules or message mappings, used by one or more nodes in the message flow.
You can add resources to an integration project and deploy those resources directly from the integration project, without having to deploy them in an application or library.
