WebSphere Transformation Extender maps and the data handler

The WebSphere® Transformation Extender data handler invokes WebSphere Transformation Extender. WebSphere Transformation Extender uses a map to convert data from one format to another. The map provides the system with the details of the conversion. You can utilize existing WebSphere Transformation Extender maps if they are applicable to the solution.

The WebSphere Transformation Extender data handler invokes one of your WebSphere Transformation Extender maps in the context of a WebSphere Transformation Extender Engine. The data handler sends the WebSphere Transformation Extender map name and input data to the WebSphere Transformation Extender engine, which performs the conversion from one format to another. The result of the transformation is sent back to the data handler, which publishes it to the export or import.

On the export side, the WebSphere Transformation Extender data handler invokes a WebSphere Transformation Extender map to transform native data to XML. The data handler then deserializes the XML to a data object. An import also uses the data handler in this way on the response message in a request/response scenario.

On the import end, the data handler serializes a data object to XML and feeds it to a WebSphere Transformation Extender map. The map converts it to native data, which is then published. An export also uses the data handler in this way on the response message.

For more information on creating WebSphere Transformation Extender maps, refer to the WebSphere Transformation Extender documentation.

For more information on creating map naming conventions, usage of maps in SCA modules and configuring the WebSphere Transformation Extender data handler, refer to the WebSphere Integration Developer documentation.
