Data handlers

Data handlers are used when you need a specific data format transformation that is not in the standard set of prepackaged data format transformations.

In effect, data handlers allow you to customize a data format transformation for your particular needs. Data handlers are reusable transformation logic independent of a specific transport protocol, which means you can create a data handler and use it with JMS, MQ, HTTP, EIS and other bindings. Data handlers can be invoked from data bindings and Java™ components.

To learn how to create a data handler, see Data handlers.

To learn how to add a data handler to a data format transformation, see Create a data format transformation resource configuration.
