Customizing receivers

The receiver handles the first stage in the WebSphere Partner Gateway data flow. It picks up documents from the transport, performs some basic processing on them, and places them in a storage queue to be picked up by the main processing component, Document Manager. In synchronous requests, it also returns the response document to the initiating participant. You can customize the receiver stage of processing in two ways, by creating new receivers or by creating and configuring new receiver handlers. This chapter covers both ways of customizing receivers in the following sections:

An additional section, Development and deployment, covers development and deployment issues.

The API list and the code and pseuocode example outlines follow in the next chapter.
