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
- Decide what type of intermediary node to
configure: a Proxy Server for IBM® WebSphere Application
Server, an HTTP server, or both.
- Complete one of the following steps, according
to the choice you made in the previous step.
Results
You configured the intermediary node ready for use by WebSphere Application 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.
