Generating reference bindings

Reference bindings are used by external WebSphere® Business Integration SCA components to access the adapter. You create a reference to the adapter from the project module so as to link the adapter to the other server processes. This is required in a standalone testing environment only. It is not necessary when deploying the adapter in a production environment.

Steps for this task

  1. In the Business Integration Perspective of WebSphere Integration Developer, right-click the BapiCustomer module, and select Open With > Assembly Editor. The Assembly Diagram window appears with the module’s Import component in view.
  2. To create a new component, click the top-most icon in the left-side (vertical) pane of the Assembly Diagram Window. A new menu of icons appears.
  3. Move the mouse pointer over each icon to display the hover Help and locate the icon that reads Standalone References.
  4. Click the icon for Standalone References.
  5. Click the blank area (right-side pane) of the Assembly Diagram window to drop the new Standalone References component into that pane.
  6. Click the new Standalone References component. A yellow bulb displays on the right side of the component.
  7. Drag and drop the yellow bulb around the new component to the import module. This draws a wire from the Import component to the new component and displays the Add Wire window.
  8. In the Add Wire window, click OK. The new Standalone Reference component displays in the Assembly Diagram window with a “wire” that connects it to the module’s Import component.
  9. When prompted to use Java™ interfaces, click No.
  10. Click File > Save to save the assembly diagram.

What to do next

The WebSphere Business Integration project module is now created in build-time. Before you can start the application, you must export the project to an Enterprise Application Archive (EAR) file using WebSphere Integration Developer, and then install the EAR file using WebSphere Process Server administrative console.
