Developing service applications

You can develop service applications that, when deployed onto WebSphere ESB, enable message-based communication between services and can operate on and manipulate messages in flight between interaction endpoints.

Why and when to perform this task

WebSphere Integration Developer is the development environment for WebSphere ESB. You can use WebSphere Integration Developer to graphically model and assemble mediation components from mediation primitives, and assemble mediation modules from mediation components.

WebSphere Integration Developer simplifies the task of declaring services and defining their interconnections. You can also use WebSphere Integration Developer to create and edit message descriptors through a set of business-oriented visual editors. You can use the Business Object Editor to construct the messages that are used in mediations.

After developing a service application, best practices state that you should deploy the application onto a test server for testing before committing it to the production requirement. To deploy the applications into a test environment, you can use WebSphere Integration Developer.

To deploy the applications into a production environment, you use WebSphere ESB.
