Albin,

Nice post. By any chance, did you blog about the other way of dynamic binding? Iam waiting for the post.

Thanks

Ashwin,

I have used the piece of code published by you. the setServiceRefToPartnerLink is throwing an error as shown below .. Any suggestions

The method setServiceRefToPartnerLink(String, DataObject) in the type GeneratedCompilationUnitName_1297949569183 is not applicable for the arguments (String, EndpointReference)

I was just going through the preferences window. I see something related to XSD annotations. May be this could be the reason. Go to Window -> preferences -> Business Integration -> WSDL/Interface Export and check the checkbox. May be this helps.

Hi – Is there any catch in this approach when we generate an EAR and try to deploy it on a run-time WPS server ?

I had turned on WS-Addressing Schema on in WID and generated the EAR , but I get the following exception when I try to publish the EAR -

ejbModule/sca/webservice/client/LookupServiceImport.java(12): Syntax error, annotations are only available if source level is 5.0

Hi Albin,

Very informative post. You mentioned in this post that you will blog about another way of dynamic binding in the next post. I am eagerly waiting for that post. Please post the link here in case you have already blogged about it.

Thanks,
Sunil

The page ate up the text within “less than” and “greater than” symbols. Reposting…

^?View Code JAVA

EndpointReferenceFactory eprFactory = EndpointReferenceFactory.INSTANCE;
epr = eprFactory.createEndpointReference();
epr.setService(new QName({importNamespace}, {importService}));
epr.setAddress({address});
epr.setPort({port});
 
setServiceRefToPartnerLink({Partner Name},epr);

The values {} within can be configured externally (DB or properties file).

This might be helpful if you are to design a business process which invokes services whose endpoint references are determined at runtime.

PS: A caveat in this approach is that it works only if the service being looked up is exported using web service binding.

EndpointReferenceFactory eprFactory = EndpointReferenceFactory.INSTANCE;
epr = eprFactory.createEndpointReference();
epr.setService(new QName(, ));
epr.setAddress();
epr.setPort();

setServiceRefToPartnerLink(“”,epr);

The values within can be configured externally (DB or properties file).

Hi,
Nice concise explanation. I’m new to WebSphere and the Process Server. I’m looking at a SCA component written by somebody else. I want to send a SOAP message to the component but I don’t see any imports. There are exports defined. Is there a way to send a SOAP message to a component from an external client without defining imports?
If you know of a guide or site that discusses the specifics of making a SOAP call to a component I’d be grateful for the pointer. I’m Googling all over without much luck.

Thanks.

Doug
