Deploying channels to the Web services gateway

Before you begin

Before you can deploy a channel, you must install the channel application in WebSphere Application Server as described in Installing the gateway-supplied channels.

If you want to deploy the channels supplied with the Web services gateway, see the deployment details listed in Web services gateway - channel deployment details.

Why and when to perform this task

To deploy a channel, complete the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. Display the Web services gateway administrative user interface.
  2. In the navigation pane, click the following link:

    Channels

    • Deploy

    A form is displayed that you can use to specify the deployment details.
  3. Type the following channel deployment details:
    Channel Name
    Type the name by which the channel is known within the Web services gateway and by which it is listed using the Channels > List option. This name must be unique within the gateway.
    Home Location
    Type the name of the home for this channel.
    End Point Address
    Type the address on which the channel is to listen.

    [Version 5.0.2]For an Apache SOAP or SOAP over HTTP channel running on an application server that is not part of an unlocked configuration deployment, this address is used to access the channel through the associated HTTP server. For either of these types of channel running on an application server that is part of an unlocked configuration deployment, this address is in two parts (separated by a comma):

    • The address for accessing the channel through the associated HTTP server.
    • The address for accessing the channel through the particular application server on which the channel application is running.

  4. If the channel supports asynchronous messaging, type the values provided in the deployment documentation for the channel into the following two fields. Otherwise leave them blank.
    Async Reply Context Name
    Async Reply Context Value
  5. Click OK.

Results

If the processing completes successfully, the list of deployed channels is updated to include the new channel. Otherwise, an error message is displayed.

What to do next

To use this channel, select it for use with a Web service as described in Deploying Web services to the Web services gateway and Listing and managing gateway-deployed Web services.
