Request and response flows in the Mediation Flow editor have nodes which are the end points of the flow, and mediation primitives; wires are used to connect nodes and primitives to create the flow.
In a mediation flow, primitives are wired between the nodes in sequence from left to right in the order in which they process the message.
Wiring primitives in the Mediation Flow editor
In the Mediation Flow editor, hover your mouse over the output terminal of the node or primitive. An orange box with a handle appears around the terminal, as shown here:
Drag the handle from the output terminal of the source node to the input terminal of the target.
Notice that once the connection is made, the message type of the source is propagated to the target.
Wiring incompatible message types
If the output terminal of the source node and input terminal of the target node use different message types, you will see the following pop-up message when attempting to wire the nodes: A connection cannot be created, because the message types are incompatible.
In this case, you will need to use an XSL Transformation primitive or Custom mediation primitive to map the input and output message types.
To specify the message type in the Terminals tab view, select
the terminal, and click Change, as shown below: .
