Using the Liberty optimized local adapters APIs to call services in an external address space
Use the WebSphere® optimized local adapters (WOLA) APIs to call services on an external address space or subsystem from a Liberty server.
Before you begin
If you want to pass record data that is generated by the Rational® Application Developer CICS®/IMS™ Java™ Data Binding wizard, you must first enable the connection to use the generated record data. For more information, see Enabling generated record data in outbound optimized local adapter connections in Liberty
Procedure
Example
public byte[] driveInteraction(javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory cf,
javax.resource.cci.Connection con,byte[] inputDataBytes),throws javax.resource.ResourceException
{
// Create an interaction using the optimized local adapter connection
javax.resource.cci.Interaction i = con.createInteraction();
// The InteractionSpec describes the service we want to call
com.ibm.websphere.ola.InteractionSpecImpl isi = new com.ibm.websphere.ola.InteractionSpecImpl();
isi.setServiceName("MYSERVICE");
// The input data is specified using an IndexedRecord. The first
// slot in the indexed record contains the input data bytes.
javax.resource.cci.RecordFactory rf = cf.getRecordFactory();
javax.resource.cci.IndexedRecord ir = rf.createIndexedRecord(null);
ir.add(inputDataBytes);
// The interaction returns another IndexedRecord, whose first
// slot contains the output data bytes.
javax.resource.cci.Record or = i.execute(isi, ir);
byte[] outputDataBytes = null;
if (or != null)
{
outputDataBytes = (byte[])((javax.resource.cci.IndexedRecord)or).get(0);
}
// Return the output data to the caller
return outputDataBytes;
}
The following example shows how to start an interaction using a Rational Application Developer generated copybook Record object. .
/**
* An example of driving an optimized local adapter interaction, using a Rational
* Application Developer copybook mapping class as input (inputRecord) and receiving
* a Rational Application Developer copybook mapping as output.

// The InteractionSpec describes the service we want to call com.ibm.websphere.ola.InteractionSpecImpl isi =
new com.ibm.websphere.ola.InteractionSpecImpl();
isi.setServiceName("MYSERVICE");
// The Rational Application Developer generated copybook implements
// javax.resource.cci.Record and can be passed directly to the interaction.

.setBytes(outputDataBytes);
}
