IBM® Integration Bus supports Microsoft and .NET integration, making it simple to integrate your Microsoft assets with the rest of your services and applications within small to mid-size or large departmental enterprises.
This topic links to a range of scenarios about using IBM Integration Bus for .NET integration. The scenarios are provided in various formats, including video and articles that are hosted on external sites.
Some scenarios, originally developed for WebSphere® Message Broker, apply also to IBM Integration Bus.
Company A is a retail banking business that uses a Microsoft .NET application to work with accounts. The company wants to enable its customers to use mobile devices for their account functions. The company is looking to reuse the existing .NET code and class, wrapping them as a web service, and providing a mobile application.
Customers can use a mobile application that runs on a range of devices to access functions on their accounts; for example, to query the balance.
By using the IBM Integration Toolkit with the Worklight®: Microsoft .NET request-response pattern that is provided, the application developers create a production-ready solution in a matter of minutes. The solution is based on a web service, which wraps around the existing .NET class, made available by an integration application that runs on IBM Integration Bus. The developers select the methods to be exposed in the web service. By using the pattern and .NET class, the toolkit builds a mobile application and the mobile integration logic for the Worklight platform.
Implementing the solution can be split into three parts:
Part 1 demonstrates the aspects that are related to the .NET service enablement. Parts 2 and 3 demonstrate the mobile integration that uses the .NET service.
For part 1, see the video WebSphere Message Broker - Mobile Service Enablement
Part1 (hosted on YouTube).
For the entire part 1 to part 3, see the full scenario that is outlined in Featured scenario: .NET service enablement for mobile applications.
