Configuring an intermediary node for Web services transactions

Intermediary nodes allow the exchange of Web Services Atomic Transaction (WS-AT) and Web Services Business Activity (WS-BA) protocol messages across firewalls and outside the WebSphere® Application Server domain. You configure an intermediary node to specify which WebSphere Application servers the node routes requests to.

Procedure

  1. Configure the HTTP server so that it routes WS-AT and WS-BA requests that are targeted at WebSphere Application Server to WebSphere Application Server, rather than processing them itself.
  2. Allocate a set of unique virtual hosts to the HTTP server; one virtual host for each WebSphere Application Server that you want the HTTP server to communicate with.
  3. In the HTTP server, map each virtual host to a WebSphere Application Server. For example, you might allocate a virtual host name of vhost1 to the HTTP server, then within the HTTP server, map vhost1 to a WebSphere Application Server called server1.

Results

You configured the intermediary node ready for use by WebSphere Application Server.

Example

See the associated example subtopic for details of the configuration XML for IBM® HTTP server.

What to do next

Configure WebSphere Application Server to use the intermediary node by specifying, for each server, the appropriate virtual host of the intermediary node.
