Intermediary nodes allow the exchange of Web Services Atomic
Transaction (WS-AT) and Web Services Business Activity (WS-BA) protocol
messages across firewalls and outside the WebSphere® Application
Server domain. You configure an intermediary node to specify which WebSphere Application servers the node
routes requests to.
Procedure
- Configure the HTTP server
so that it routes WS-AT and WS-BA requests that are targeted at WebSphere Application Server to WebSphere Application Server, rather than
processing them itself.
Results
You configured the intermediary node ready for use by WebSphere Application Server.
What to do next
Configure WebSphere Application Server
to use the intermediary node by specifying, for each server, the appropriate
virtual host of the intermediary node.
