Request-Response Invocation Service Fields


The following tabs are available:

Configuration Tab

Name

You can use the default name or replace it with a name of your choice.

Description

Provide information about the adapter service that you want stored in the project. The field is optional.

Transport Type

Select the transport to be used by the run-time adapter, JMS or TIBCO Rendezvous. After selecting the transport, the transport-specific configuration fields display.

The transport can be configured to use a trusted store and identity resource for use in SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) configurations. TIBCO Rendezvous sessions and JMS topics have an SSL configuration field which uses a dialog to perform SSL configuration.

To enable and configure SSL, in the Project panel, expand the Advanced folder, then expand the Sessions folder. Select the TIBCO Rendezvous session or JMS topic and click Use SSL?. The SSL configuration options are explained in the online help associated with the session dialog. Click the question mark to display the online help.

Transport Tab

Message Subject

This field displays only if TIBCO Rendezvous is selected in the Transport Type field (under the Configuration tab).

By default a service uses a message subject that is generated using the Domain and Deployment global variables, the adapter acronym, the adapter instance name and the service name. If you use this default subject, make sure the values for Domain and Deployment are not empty. You can type a TIBCO Rendezvous subject name different from the default in this field. See TIBCO Rendezvous Concepts for information about specifying subject names.

Destination

This field displays only if JMS is selected in the Transport Type field (under the Configuration tab).

By default a service uses a dynamic destination that is generated using the Domain and Deployment global variables, the adapter acronym, the adapter instance name and the service name. If you use this default dynamic destination, make sure the values for Domain and Deployment are not empty. You can override the default dynamic destination by specifying the static destination in this field. The static destination must be defined on the JMS server before it can be used by the run-time adapter. See the TIBCO Enterprise for JMS User’s Guide for information about destinations.

Quality of Service

If TIBCO Rendezvous is selected as the transport type, select:

Wire Format

Services must use the same wire format to exchange data.

Connection Factory Type
Delivery Mode

Messages sent with the persistent delivery mode are always written to persistent storage, except when they are published to a topic that has no durable subscribers. When a topic has no durable subscribers, there are no subscribers that need messages resent in the event of a server failure. Therefore, messages do not need to be saved, and performance is improved because disk I/O is not required.

The semantics for these fields are somewhat more complex than the explanation given here. See the TIBCO Enterprise for JMS User’s Guide for more information.

Session Reference

Every adapter instance can have one or more sessions configured for it. Sessions encapsulate stateful connections to TIBCO Rendezvous and other messaging sources. The session object shown in this field is initially supplied by the adapter, depending on the Quality of Service selected. You can change the session by browsing for it in the project panel.

Endpoint Reference

You can go to the referenced endpoint to edit its properties. Endpoint reference objects are explained in the TIBCO Designer Palette Reference.

SchemaView Tab

Schema Selection View

This view displays all the operation classes available under the AESchemas folder. Select an operation class from the list to attach a schema to the service. Attempting to validate the configuration by clicking Project > Validate for Deployment before attaching a schema to the service may result in an error.

Once the schema has been specified for a service, you can view its attributes by selecting the AESchemas folder in the project panel. You can expand the field names to view the data types and field attributes. For more information about schema, see the TIBCO Designer User’s Guide.

Schema Tab

Class Reference

After you have selected a schema in the SchemaView tab, this field is populated. This field is predefined and cannot be changed.
