Overview of selector components

As businesses change, the business processes that drive them must change, too. Some of those changes may require that certain processes return different results than as originally designed without changing the design of the process. The selector component provides the framework for that flexibility.

Selector components provide a single interface to a service that may change results based on certain criteria. The selector component comprises an interface and a selector table. The selector table determines, based on a criteria, which component (named the target component) processes the request. The server returns the processing result provided by a target component to the client.

When building a business process, the solution architect identifies the need for a selector component and defines the interface and selector table the selector component uses to complete processing. The tasks involved in developing a selector component are described in the WebSphere Integration Developer information center.

Administering a selector component consists of tasks related to the selector component or tasks related to the selector table.
