Create a data format transformation resource configuration
In order to invoke a data handler from a data format transformation, create a binding resource configuration for it. This example creates a binding resource configuration for a delimited data handler.
To create the configuration, follow these steps:
Procedure
- Right-click the module and from the menu select New > Configure Binding Resource. The Binding Resource Configuration window opens. On the Select a Configuration Type page, select Data transformation. Click Next.
- By default, the existing data format transformations, that is, the existing data format handlers, in the binding registry are shown. These prepackaged data handlers are described in Prepackaged data format handlers.
You may also select a custom data format transformation from your workspace on the class path. If that only classes on the class path with a name following this pattern <class name>Properties are selectable.
Selecting Show the deprecated data format transformations adds previous transformations that have been deprecated.
In this example, we chose the Delimited data format. Click Next.
If that if you chose another popular format, the SOAP data format, and clicked Next you would have the following selections on the next page.
- Propagate SOAP headers: Selecting this option propagates the SOAP header information at run time
- Construct the faultcode of SOAP Fault as QName format: Selecting this option means your faults will use the qualified name (QName) for a namespace; that is you intend to use the SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) 1.3 standard. If you do not select this option, which is the default, then your faults will contain the unqualified name of a namespace; that is, you intend to use the SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) 1.2 standard.
- Once you have selected your data format transformation, the wizard allows you to proceed to the Data Transformation Properties page where you can add or modify properties such as, in this case, the delimiter for the data.
The delimited format property fields are discussed in Delimited format properties. Other format property fields are discussed in Data handler formats.
- In the New Data Transformation Configuration page, you can change or create a new module for the data format transformation, add a folder to contain the generated files and name and describe your configuration. Click Finish and the data format transformation resource configuration is completed and shown in the editor.
- The data format handler configuration is completed and shown in the editor along with the bindings it can be used with. It also is listed in the navigation under Binding Resources.
If you had chosen a SOAP data format then you will see the options discussed earlier in the Properties view.
