IBM® Integration Bus, in conjunction with IBM Worklight®, provides your mobile applications with secure access to your back-end systems, and integration that is robust and can scale to handle the growing number of connections.
This topic provides links to a range of scenarios about using IBM Integration Bus for mobile integration. The scenarios are provided in a variety of formats, including video and articles hosted on external sites.
Some scenarios, originally developed for WebSphere® Message Broker, apply equally 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 to perform some actions on their accounts. To do this, 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 running on a range of devices to perform actions on their accounts; for example, to query the balance.
By using the IBM Integration Toolkit with the Worklight: Microsoft .NET request-response pattern 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 Microsoft .NET class, made available by an integration application running on IBM Integration Bus. The developers select the methods to be exposed in the web service and, using the pattern and .NET class, they build a mobile application and the mobile integration logic for the Worklight platform.
Implementing the solution can be split into three parts:
Part 1:
This part also generates a mobile application project for use with IBM Worklight, and an Android version of the mobile application for use on mobile devices.
