Creating custom mediation primitives

You can use WebSphere® Integration Developer (WID) to create custom mediation primitives using Java snippets.

Mediation primitives implement a pipelined architecture, where information can be passed between primitives in the form of SOAP headers. Here are some guidelines for designing and implementing custom mediation primitives to best fit into this architecture.

In the WID environment, a “Custom Mediation Primitive” is placed onto the canvas and you use a code editor to insert Java mediation code. For details about this process, refer to the topic Implementing custom mediation logic in the WebSphere Integration Developer information center.

Although this methodology provides a quick and easy way to create a custom mediation primitive, it has limitations for reuse. Each project must import the custom mediation primitive call and recreate the addition of the custom primitive.

To allow greater reuse of your custom mediation primitives, you can package them in such a way as to extend the WID Flow Editor palette. Considerations for doing this are described in the topic Integrating your custom mediation primitives with WebSphere Integration Developer (WID).
