Use the Mediation Policy Administration widget
to work with mediation policies defined for a module
or target service. Using mediation policies you can dynamically control
service interactions, using contextual information.
Depending on the context, you can configure mediation flows by
overriding the values of module properties. For example, you could
turn on logging if a message was for a particular operation or for
a particular target service.
Depending on whether your mediation policies are associated with
modules or with target services, the Mediation Policy Administration widget
interacts with different widgets.
Modules and mediation policies
If you want
to work with mediation policies associated with modules, then create
a business space that contains the Module Browser widget
and the Mediation Policy Administration widget.
If
you select a module, using the
Module Browser widget,
then the
Mediation Policy Administration widget
displays the following fields:
- Module: The name of the module you are working
with.
- WSRR definition used: Initially,
the default IBM® WebSphere® Service Registry and Repository
(WSRR) definition. If you have more than one WSRR definition, make
sure that you select the definition used by your module.
- Policy Attachment Name: If policy attachments
exist in the WSRR you select, they are displayed. Policy attachments
associate a mediation policy with a module or a target service (in
WSRR, the mediation policy and the policy attachment are separate).
You can use the icon after the Policy Attachment Name heading
to sort the entries in ascending (^) or descending (v) order.
- New policy attachment: If you want to attach
another mediation policy to your module, you can enter the attachment
name and press Create...
Services and mediation policies
If you want
to work with mediation policies associated with target services, then
create a business space that contains the Service Browser widget
and the Mediation Policy Administration widget.
If
you select a service, endpoint, or operation, using the
Service
Browser widget, then the
Mediation Policy Administration widget
displays the following fields:
- Service, Endpoint, or Operation:
The name of the service, endpoint, or operation that you selected.
- WSRR definition used: The WSRR definition
that you selected in the Service Browser widget.
- Policy Attachment Name: If policy attachments
exist in the WSRR you select, they are displayed. Policy attachments
associate a mediation policy with a module or a target service (in
WSRR, the mediation policy and the policy attachment are separate).
You can use the icon after the Policy Attachment Name heading
to sort the entries in ascending (^) or descending (v) order.
- New policy attachment: If you want to attach
another mediation policy to your service, endpoint, or operation,
you can enter the attachment name and press Create...
