IBM WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit, Version 7.1

Using the XML Channel

About this task

To use the XML Channel, do the following:

Procedure

  1. Specify the parser in the server-side toolkit configuration file (dse.ini) for the appropriate device handler. This allows the parser to be dynamically created at runtime.
  2. Configure the channel handler in the server dse.ini file for the device type with the registered handlers and optional parameters.
  3. Establish the session between the client and the server by invoking the XmlEstablishSessionServlet using the "GET" or "POST" protocol. The session ID must be sent as part of the XML message and all subsequent requests. This can be sent as part of the HTTP request header or in the XML message. Passing the session ID is not required if all operations are to run out of session.
  4. Ensure that the XML message format is validated against the DTD. This step will be performed automatically by the toolkit if you are using the XML for Java Parser. The current DTDs are expected to reside in the root directory.
