Configuration store
WebSphere ESB includes a built-in configuration store which holds data about the relationships between the proxy gateway, proxy groups and associated service providers.
To change the data within the built-in configuration store, a web based interface is provided. Using the interface you can create, delete and amend virtual services associated with a proxy group.
Figure 1. High level interactions of the proxy gateway, the configuration store and the web based interface
Figure 1.shows the high level interactions of the proxy gateway, the configuration store and the web based interface. The "Built-in Configuration Store" maintains the associations between proxy groups and proxy gateways. The proxy gateways contain definitions of virtual services and their defined endpoints. The browser window shows the Business Space widget used to administer the proxy groups and their virtual service definitions.
