What is new and changed: Web services gateway
In WAS v5.1, the web services gateway was a separable component with its own user interface. In later versions of the product, the gateway is integrated into service integration bus-enabled web services, and re-implemented as a mechanism for extending and linking inbound and outbound services.
The main changes in this version are as follows:
- Migrate the gateway
-
For migration from WAS v6 to v7.0 or later, there are no gateway-specific migration steps.
For migration from v5.1 to v7.0 or later, you use a wsadmin command script. The migration procedure takes an existing working gateway application whose configuration has been exported to an XML file and uses the exported XML file to configure the same gateway functions on a v7.0 or later application server or cluster. Requester applications can then switch over to using the new gateway configuration while the existing v5 gateway continues to run. See Migrate a v5.1 Web services gateway configuration.
- Filters
-
The use of filters was deprecated in v5.1.1 and support for filters was removed in v7.0. The role formerly played by filters is now undertaken by a combination of JAX-RPC handlers and service integration bus mediations.
