WPS: Import and Export Bindings in Websphere Process Server

WPS: Import and Export Bindings in Websphere Process Server

EXPORT  : Exports process incoming requests from outside SCA modules
IMPORT  : Imports process outgoing requests to components outside SCA modules
BINDING : Binding determines how imports and exports interact with componets outside a module







  • An Import binding describes the specific way an external service is bound to an import component.
  • An export binding describes how that export is published or made available to clients out side the module.
  • Binding includes protocal, message format and invocation style.
Most Imports and Exports use the following components:

DataBindings      : A mapping between native data format to Business Object. The DataBinding java class takes a streem of data and builds a business object or takes a business object and builds a streem of Data.
Function Selector : It assign incoming messages or requests to the correct service operation.
DataHandlers      : These are used by databindings or function selectors to transform data from one type to another.
