Planning your SIBWS installation

Before you install the service integration bus Web services enablement (SIBWS) applications, you must consider your environment and determine, for each server, which subset of the applications to install.

Inbound and outbound services: how a client request is received by an endpoint listener, then passed through an inbound port to an inbound service; how an outbound service passes a request through an outbound port to an external service.
The figure shows the main component types and flows for the Web service enablement of the service integration bus (SIBWS). Of all these component types, only three interact directly with the world outside the bus: To make these components accessible from outside the bus, install the SIBWS applications that support them on one or more of your servers. To determine which of the SIBWS applications you install on each server, first determine the roles that the server is to perform. A given server can perform one or more of the following roles:
Endpoint
If you want your server to act as an endpoint, install the following resources:
  • SDO repository.
  • SIBWS application.
  • Endpoint listener application.
Service invoker
If you want your server to act as a service invoker (that is, an outbound port), install the following resources:
  • SDO repository.
  • Resource adapter.
  • SIBWS application.
Mediation point
A mediation is deployed to a server. If you want your server to provide a mediation point for Web services, install the following applications:
  • SDO repository.
  • SIBWS application.
