Web Services Integrator 2.6 Programmer's Guide

[-] About This Book

About This Book

This guide describes the Sybase® Web Services Integrator (WSI) application programming interfaces (APIs) used to initiate and process transactions.

Web Services Integrator 2.6 APIs allow you to initiate or process business transactions for ebXML, RosettaNet, and EDIINT/AS2. All APIs are implemented in Java except for EDIINT/AS2, where a C/C++ API is also provided.

The ebXML, RosettaNet, and EDIINT/AS2 servers run on the application server. However, the application that calls these APIs does not have to run on the application server, it just needs to have the appropriate JAR file in the CLASSPATH. For EDIINT/AS2, the C/C++ APIs provide the appropriate DLL or SO library needed to define the environment variable PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Audience

Use this book if you are responsible for implementing Web Services Integrator applications.
