Working with mediations

Use a mediation to change the content of a message, or the way in which a message is handled.

Before you begin

For an introduction to using mediations with the service integration bus, see Learning about mediations.

This topic assumes that you have completed all other steps and prerequisites described in Installing the SIBus Web services applications and resources.

About this task

A mediation is an application that contains a mediation handler. You associate a mediation with a service integration bus destination, and the mediation acts on messages that pass through the destination. The action taken by a mediation depends upon the specific instructions you give in the mediation handler. For example, you can use a mediation to change the contents of a message, or to choose a particular forward route for a message.

To write a mediation application that contains a mediation handler, install it into WebSphere® Application Server and associate it with a bus destination, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Create the mediation application. For examples of how to do this, see:
  2. Install the mediation application into WebSphere Application Server.
  3. Create the associated mediation object in the bus.
    Note: The handler list name is the name you gave to your handler when you defined the handler class as a mediation handler.
  4. Mediate the destination. Use the administrative console to access the destination that you want to mediate, then select your mediation from the list of available mediations.
