Configuring the Sender Axis SOAP Adapter

You configure the sender Axis SOAP adapter to send content from remote clients or Web service servers to the Integration Server/AEX.

1. Select the Transport Protocol:
   • Servlet (Axis)

     Messages can be sent to a servlet. It receives messages under the following address: http://host:port/XIAxisAdapter/MessageServlet?parameters

     parameters ::= token ( '&' token )*

     token ::= name '=' value

     name ::= fieldname

     value ::= fieldvalue

     fileldname ::= 'senderParty' | 'senderService' | 'receiverParty' | 'receiverService' |

     'interface' | 'interfaceNamespace' | 'messageId' | 'queueName'

     fieldvalue ::= urlencoded value

   • Task (Axis)

     If you use an active task, you poll inbound messages at defined time intervals.

   • Task (Axis)

     If you use a passive task, your sender Axis SOAP adapter waits for the message to arrive.

2. The Message Protocol is Axis.
3. Select the Adapter Engine on the Integration Server, or select a non-centrally installed Adapter Engine.

       To define a different authentication method in the task, select Other .

       You must also specify the corresponding handlers for executing the authentication method on the Module tab page.

Define Task Parameters for Transport Protocol Task (Axis)

1. Under Task Class, enter the name of the task class.
   • Enter names and values for the parameters of the task class in the table.
   • If you have selected an active task, you can make entries for the poll procedure of the task:
     • Under Recurrences, specify how many attempts the task should make to poll a message.
     • The default value -1 means unlimited.
     • Under Interval (msec), specify the interval between poll procedures in milliseconds.
     • Under Timeout (msec), specify the time period after which to cancel the poll procedure.
