After you have generated service artifacts, you can optionally
generate reference bindings using WebSphere® Integration Developer.
Before you begin
Prerequisite: An adapter project must be created and configured on
your workspace. Once an adapter project is created, you must generate reference
findings to bind to the service component.
Why and when to perform this task
Reference bindings are used by other 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.
Steps for this task
- From the WebSphere Integration Developer window, switch to the
Business Integration perspective by selecting from
the menu bar. All perspectives are displayed. Select Business Integration
perspective in WebSphere Integration Developer.
- In the Business Integration Perspective of WebSphere Integration
Developer, right-click the module, and select . The Assembly Diagram window appears with
the modules Import component in view.
- To create a Stand-alone Reference, click the top-most icon in the
left-side (vertical) frame of the Assembly Diagram window.

window
A new menu of icons appears. The graphic
above illustrates the new menu of icons.
- Create a Stand-alone Reference. As illustrated in the
graphic below, drag the Stand-alone Reference icon into the Assembly
Diagram window.

The Assembly Diagram window
- Wire the Standalone Reference to the import module. As
illustrated in the graphic below, click and drag the module‘s Import component
to the new component. This draws a wire from the Import component to the new
Stand-alone Reference.

The Assembly Diagram window
The Add
Wire dialog box is displayed.
- Click OK. The new Standalone
Reference component displays in the Assembly Diagram window with a wire that
connects it to the modules Import component.
- Under Dynamic web projects, right click the Web project and select Properties. The Web project contains the service client.
- Select projects, the Flat Files RAR file, and select a default
output folder.
- Add your Web project as a dependent J2EE project with the Dependency
editor.
- Open the Dependency editor by right clicking your module and
selecting Open Dependency Editor.
- In the J2EE Project Selection window, select
your project and click OK.
- Save the file, .
