Working with Mediation Paths

Paths are created by dragging and dropping a mediation operation onto a target operation.

Paths can be automatically created in mediation flows, as described in Adding Interfaces to Mediation Flows. Creating an input path also creates corresponding output and fault paths. You can click the Input, Output, and Fault icons at the top of the mediation paths area to view the corresponding path for each mediation operation.

The path for only one mediation operation appears in the mediation paths area. Select a mediation operation to view its path.

Mediation operations must have an input path. Typically, the input path leads to a target operation, but there can also be a route task that splits the path into more than one destination, or the path can lead to one of these tasks:
  • A Throw Fault task
  • A Generate Reply task
  • An End Mediation task
Note: If a mediation operation is not implemented — that is, if it does not have an input path — an error icon appears in the bottom left corner of the operation’s icon. You must implement all mediation operations in a mediation flow before deploying the project.
