Most of the time you deal with WSDL interfaces and references when
working with components and imports in the assembly diagram. However, WebSphere® Integration
Developer supports some Java™ functions and provides some ways for
you to use Java components with your WSDL components. Java components,
components with no implementation, and stand-alone references can have Java or
WSDL interfaces in their partner references.
WebSphere Integration
Developer is organized around the use of WSDL interfaces and references, but
it does provide some ways to work with Java:
- You can create a Java component.
- You can add a Java reference to a Java component or stand-alone references
to invoke a target service that has a matching WSDL interface. To help you
with this action, you can convert a WSDL reference on a Java component
or on stand-alone references to a Java reference.
- You can drag a Java class onto the assembly editor canvas
as a component or drag an EJB (stateless session bean) as an import. The assembly
editor can generate a map component that allows you to invoke the Java component
or import from a WSDL component.
The topics listed below provide information about these processes.
