Gateway services collection

A gateway service provides the configuration of the web service enablement of a service destination, along with the information that maps to one or more target destinations.

To view this administrative console page, click Service integration > Buses > [Content Pane] bus_name > Web service gateway instances > [Content Pane] instance_name > Gateway Services.

To browse or change a listed item, select its name in the list.

To act on one or more of the listed items, select the check boxes next to the names of the items that you want to act on, then use the buttons provided.

To change what entries are listed, or to change what information is shown for entries in the list, use the Filter settings.

When you create a gateway service, you map an existing destination that hosts a target service (either an internal service or an external Web service) to a new Web service that seems to be provided by the gateway. This approach provides the following benefits:
  • The gateway service is made available at a different Web address to the target service, so you can replace or relocate the target service without changing the details for the associated gateway service.
  • You can have more than one target service (that is, more than one implementation of the same logical service) for each gateway service.
  • The gateway service can be made available on a different service integration bus to the target service.
  • The gateway provides a common interface to the services in each set. Your gateway service users need not know where each underlying service is located, or whether the underlying service is being provided internally or sourced externally, or whether there are multiple target services available for a single gateway service.
