How to Integrate a Binding Component in a SOA Composite Application

To integrate a binding component in a SOA composite application:

From the Technology section of the Components window, drag a binding component to the appropriate swimlane. The swimlane in which to drag the component is based on the action you want to perform. Not all adapters can be dropped in both swimlanes. If an adapter is only available for references, then you cannot drop it into the services swimlane.
- If you want to provide the outside world with an entry point to the SOA composite application, drag the binding component to the Exposed Services swimlane.
- If you want to enable messages to be sent from the SOA composite application to external services in the outside world, drag the binding component to the External References swimlane.
Figure 36-6 shows a SOAP web service being dragged into the composite. This action invokes a dialog for specifying various configuration properties.
