In
IBM Integration Bus, you can
convert a
WebSphere Enterprise
Service Bus mediation module
into an application or an
integration service manually.
- An integration service is
a specialized application with a defined interface that acts as a
container for a web services solution. An integration service contains subflows
to implement the specified service operations. The interface is defined
by using WSDL. The transport protocol that is supported is SOAP over
HTTP. For more information, see Integration services.
- An application is a container for all the resources that are required to create an integration solution. For more information, see Applications and libraries.
In WebSphere Enterprise
Service Bus, a service
is defined in terms of a WSDL service interface, regardless of the
message formats or protocols.
