In this article I will explain how to create a Business Integration Module, library and Mediation Module.
Creating a Business Integration Module or Module
A Business Integration Module or a Module is a WebSphere Integration project for building solutions using WebSphere Integration Developer. A module is used for development and version management of business services using WebSphere Integration Developer (WID). A module is the basic unit of deployment to a WebSphere Process Server. For creating a module first switches to Business Integration perspective of WebSphere Integration Developer. Click on File -> New -> Project -> Business Integration -> Module. The New Module wizard opens up. Enter the name of the module and click on Finish. A module will be created. The module would contain different components like Assembly Diagram, Dependencies, Processes, State Machines, Rule Groups, Rules, Human Tasks, interfaces, data types, mapping etc.
Creating a library
All the resources available in a module cannot be shared with another project or module. So if we want to share the resources among different modules, we need to go for Module Libraries. A library contains resources like data types, interfaces, mapping etc. To create a library goes to File -> New -> Project -> Business Integration -> Library. Enter the name of the library and click on Finish.
Creating a Mediation Module
WebSphere Integration Developer supports one more type of project called Mediation Module. A mediation module is used for building applications that can be deployed on an WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus server or WebSphere Process Server. A module can be deployed only on WebSphere Process Server where in Mediation module can be deployed either in a WebSphere Process Server or in a WebSphere ESB Server. To create a Mediation Module select File ->New -> Project -> Business Integration – > Mediation Module. Enter the name for your mediation module and click on Finish
Good Introduction. But it will be useful if you can provide sample hello world kind of tutorials with WID and WPS.
Yeah. Thats is my plan. So thought of starting with creating a module
Hi,
I am seeing a problem in mapping a string field in the source interface to a date field in the target under the xsl mediation flow.
I right click on the date field and choose–>Create Transform. I see a customer transformation , Now I go into the Properties–>General and set the code to Java.
Then I clicked on Browse and choosed –> java.util.simpleDateFormat. But no methods are appearing in the Methods List box.
My intention was to map a string field in the source into a date field in the target. This happens in the mediation module -XSL transformation of the websphere integration developer.
Please help!!
Thanks in advance for your time. Your blog is nothing less than a reference manual for fellow developers like me.
may i know ur contact email address ?
My contact details are there in the About page.
I understood that i cannot share a module or a mediation module with another. So, i have to use a library. But my problem is that i cannot conect a library with the mediation module that i want to share or i cannot create a library based on a mediation module.
If you know how to do this i would apreciate.
Thank you in advance!
