Export and import binding configuration
One of the key aspects of export and import bindings is data format transformation, which indicates how data is mapped (deserialized) from a native wire format to a business object or how it is mapped (serialized) from a business object to a native wire format. For bindings associated with exports, you can also specify a function selector to indicate which operation should be performed on the data. For bindings associated with exports or imports, you can indicate how faults that occur during processing should be handled.
In addition, you specify transport-specific information on bindings.
For example, for an HTTP binding, you specify the endpoint URL. For the HTTP binding, the transport-specific information is described in the Generate an HTTP import binding and Generate an HTTP export binding.
