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
- In
the Business Integration Perspective of WebSphere Integration Developer, right-click
the BapiCustomer module, and select . The Assembly
Diagram window appears with the module’s Import component in view.
- 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.
- Move the mouse pointer over each icon to display the hover Help
and locate the icon that reads Standalone References.
- Click the icon for Standalone References.
- Click the blank area (right-side pane) of the Assembly
Diagram window to drop the new Standalone References component
into that pane.
- Click the new Standalone References component. A yellow bulb displays on the right side of the component.
- 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.
- 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.
- When prompted to use Java™ interfaces, click No.
- Click 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.
