Overview

This tutorial describes how to use the CASA editor to modify the configuration of a composite application to provide a connection between two WSDL bindings.

The key function of composite applications is the ability to decouple service consumers from service providers. For simple use cases, this decoupling can be achieved using the BC-TO-BC Connection feature of the CASA editor. These simple use cases do not require BPEL, XSLT, or JAVA-provided processing logic. For example, if you want to send a service request received from an external endpoint address to a service located on an internal network, you can connect two endpoints directly in CASA, as shown in this tutorial.

The composite application that you configure and build in this tutorial is the synchronous Sample Composite application provided by the NetBeans IDE 6.0 release. This tutorial covers the following:

Building a composite application from the CASA editor

To add a new WSDL endpoint to a composite application

Connecting the new WSDL endpoint to an existing WSDL endpoint in a composite application

To modify the properties of a new WSDL endpoint

Deploying composite Applications

Running test cases for composite applications
