Choosing a target service and port through a routing mediation

If you have migrated your gateway, and the configuration included a routing filter that used the routing bean that is supplied with IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 5, then your routing filter still works in this version. However, if you did not use the supplied routing bean, then you must write a routing mediation and configure it to select a target service and port.

One gateway service can map to one or more target services, and (for outbound target services) each target service can have one or more ports as defined in the outbound service WSDL. Without a routing mediation there is no point in mapping multiple targets because the gateway always picks the default destination. If you want to map multiple targets, you must write a routing mediation then configure it, for each gateway service, to select the target service and target port.

You associate routing mediations with service integration bus destinations. To pick a target service, you associate the mediation with the gateway service destination. To pick an outbound service port, you associate the mediation with the outbound service destination.

Use the steps described in Writing a routing mediation to help you write a mediation application that contains a routing handler, install it into WebSphere Application Server and associate it with a destination.
