A variety of standards and technologies give web services access to their functionality over a network.
The standards used by the adapter are as follows:
The APIs used by the adapter are as follows:
Depending on your configuration, you may need to install additional software. The sections below discuss these contingencies.
If you are using JMS protocol, you must install a JMS provider and create queues. The queue creation really depends on your requirements. You may use JMS Protocol for both exposing a collaboration as a web service and also for invoking external web services. For further information, see Connector and JMS.
You must configure the JNDI and then enter appropriate parameters in the JNDI configuration properties for the connector. You also must ensure that the Connection factory and JMS destination (queue) object are made available in the JNDI. If you want to use JNDI and do not have JNDI implementation, you can download the reference implementation of File System JNDI from Sun Microsystems. For further information, see Connector and JMS.
If you plan to use SSL, you must use third-party software for managing your keystores, certificates, and key generation. No tooling is provided to set up keystores, certificates, or for key generation. You may choose to use keytool (shipped with IBM JRE) to create self-signed certificates and to manage keystores. For further information, see SSL.
