Reference bindings are used by other WebSphere(R) Business
Integration Service Component Architecture (SCA) components to access the
adapter. You create a reference to the adapter from the project module to
link the adapter to other server processes.
Why and when to perform this task
Reference binding generation is required in a testing environment
only. It is not necessary when deploying the adapter in a production environment.
Steps for this task
- Create SCA component
Go to the Business
Integration perspective of WebSphere Integration Developer. In
the Business Integration tab, right-click the JDBCEMD module,
and select Open With > Assembly Editor.
The
Assembly Diagram window appears with the module’s Import component in view.
To create a new component, click the second icon (Import) in the left-hand
(vertical) frame of the window. A new menu of icons appears.
Click
the bottom icon in the new menu of icons (it has hover-help that reads Standalone
References). The cursor changes to the placement icon.
Click
the palette to add the new component to the Assembly Diagram window.
- Create a standalone reference
Click and drag the
module’s Import component to the new component. 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. Another Add Wire window
pops up, asking if you want to convert the WSDL interface to Java. Click No.
The
new Standalone Reference component displays in the
Assembly Diagram window with a wire that connects it to the module’s Import
component.
Click File > Save to save the assembly
diagram. For more information, refer to the WebSphere Integration Developer
