Planning your Bus-enabled Web services installation

Consider how your environment will be configured to support the Web services enablement of the service integration bus. Determine which of the bus-enabled Web services roles you want each server or cluster to perform.

The following figure shows a client request being received by an endpoint listener, then passed through an inbound port to an inbound service. It also shows an outbound service passing a request through an outbound port to an external service.

This following figure shows a client request being received by an endpoint listener, then passed through an inbound port to an inbound service. It also shows an outbound service passing a request through an outbound port to an external service, as well as a gateway service resembling an inbound service and mapping to a target service.

This figure is described in the surrounding text.
The figure shows the main component types and flows for bus-enabled Web services. Of all these component types, only three interact directly with the world outside the bus:
By configuring these component types for a given standalone server or cluster, you enable that server or cluster to perform one or more of the following associated bus-enabled Web services roles:
For each of these roles, you must install a selection of the following bus-enabled Web services applications and resources on the associated standalone server or cluster: For more information, see Installing the SIBus Web services applications and resources.
You might choose to use a cluster rather than a standalone application server to support a role for any of the following reasons: For example, in a production environment you would typically use a cluster to act as an endpoint.
Note: There is actually a fourth role of Configuration connection point, for which you only need to install the SDO repository. This role is never provided by a cluster; only a deployment manager or an unfederated standalone server can act as a configuration connection point.
