Developing integration solutions by using applications

To integrate client applications that use different protocols and message formats, create integration solutions by using applications.

Before you start: If you are not familiar with message flow concepts, message model concepts, and common tasks to manage message flow resources, see Developing message flows and Constructing message models.

An application is a container for all the resources that are required to create a solution. For more information, see Applications and libraries.

In IBM® Integration Bus, you have different ways in which you can create an application:

Create an application from scratch. For more information, see Creating an application.
Create an application by using patterns. For more information, see Developing integration solutions by using patterns.
Create an application that is based on WSDL and XSD files. For more information, see Creating a solution based on WSDL or XSD files.
Create an application that is based on an existing message set. For more information, see Creating an application based on an existing message set.

For example, to build an application from scratch:

Create an application. An application is the container for resources that are required to develop your solution.
Optional: Create a library to contain a logical grouping of related code, schemas, message models, and other resources that can be reused. For more information, see Creating a library.
Optional: Define the required library references in the application, as described in Adding and removing library references. To include one or more libraries of resources in your application, you create references to those libraries.
Create one or more message flows in your application to process your business data. For more information, see Defining message flow content, Designing a message flow, and Creating a message flow.
Use the default broker schema that is created when you create the message flow. Alternatively, create another broker schema. For more information, see Creating a broker schema.
Create other resources that you need in the application and library. For more information, see Creating resources in an application and Creating resources in a library.

Next steps:

After you create and implemented your application, deploy and test the application. For more information, see How do I deploy and test message flows?.
