Use a mediation to change the content of a message, or the way in which a message is handled.
For an introduction to using mediations with the service integration bus, see Learning about mediations. A mediation is an application containing a mediation handler. You associate a mediation with a service integration bus destination, and the mediation acts on messages that pass through the destination. The action taken by a mediation depends upon the specific instructions you give in the mediation handler. For example, we can use a mediation to change the contents of a message, or to choose a particular forward route for a message.
To write a mediation application containing a mediation handler, install it into WAS and associate it with a bus destination...
- Create the mediation application. For examples of how to do this, see:
- Install the mediation application into WAS.
- Create the associated mediation object in the bus.
The handler list name is the name you gave to your handler when we defined the handler class as a mediation handler.
- Mediate the destination. Use the dmgr console to access the destination to mediate, then select your mediation from the list of available mediations.
