The assembly editor lets you build applications by assembling the
SCA components. The following tasks describe how you can add and wire components
together.
Mediation services: Creating a component
Use the assembly editor to create an SCA component (also known as component). In a mediation module, components process messages that are being passed from a service consumer to a service provider; they include an implementation and an interface, and can have partner references.
Mediation services: Creating an import
Create an import to use an existing service that is not part of the module that you are assembling. The service can be a service external to the application, or another module.
Mediation services: Adding a partner reference
The partner reference of a component or a stand-alone reference specifies the interface that is used in the invocation of another service.
Mediation services: Wiring nodes
There are many kinds of nodes in the assembly diagram: components (mediation flow and Java), imports, exports, stand-alone references. Some of them have interfaces, some have references, and some have both. Wires are used to assemble these nodes into an integrated application that can be deployed to the WebSphere Process Server or the WebSphere ESB.
