Creating the loan application module

All the resources for this sample are stored in LoanApplicationModule. A module is a WebSphere Integration Developer project that is used for development, version management, organizing business service resources, and deploying to the WebSphere Process Server.

You will perform most of your work on the loan application sample from the Business Integration perspective. A perspective contains editors and views.
  1. Switch to the Business Integration perspective in the workbench. If the Business Integration perspective is not open, then you can open it as follows:
    1. Click Perspective, which is the Open Perspective button.
    2. Select the Business Integration perspective. To see a complete list of perspectives, select Other from the menu, and check the Show all check box.
  2. Create a new module.
    1. In the Business Integration view, right-click and select New > Module. The New Module Wizard opens.
      New > Module
    2. In the Module Name field, type LoanApplicationModule and click Finish. The structure for your new module is now created and available in the navigation tree of the Business Integration view. This is where you will find all the artifacts you develop for the loan application.
  3. Browse the module structure:
    LoanApplicationModule structure
    You will interact with the following artifacts in the module structure:
    • Assembly Diagram: You will model your application in the assembly diagram by creating services and wiring them together.
    • Business Logic: Every artifact relating to the business and its policies is stored here. You will create a business process, a rule group containing rules, the rules that spell out the bank's loan policies, and human tasks that handle manual business functions.
    • Data Types: Here you will find the business objects you create.
    • Interfaces: Here you will find the interfaces you create to define the inputs and outputs of the services you see in the assembly diagram.
Next you will begin implementing the assembly diagram by adding the skeleton of services to your application.
