Mediation flow components
A mediation flow component provides a mediation service implemented using mediation flows. A mediation flow component in the assembly editor has the following parts
- One or more interfaces that describe how to invoke this mediation flow. These interfaces have to match those of the exports that will be wired to this mediation flow.
The business objects specified in the data section of the interfaces must have a non-null namespace.
If you use a null namespace you may encounter this type of error at run time.

- Zero or more named references that specify the interfaces of partners that this flow wants to invoke. The actual partners are not known by the flow, only their interfaces. These references are wired to actual partners, that are imports or Java™ components, with matching interfaces.
- Mediation flows, which define the implementation of the component.
