A static routing rule is not expected to change depending on the invocation context. In this case, the routing can be an echo, a routing to another service, or a publishing of an event.

When you define static rules, you can specify the following types of information:

• Target Service

  Mediator sends messages to the target service you specify. This service can either be defined as a WSDL interface or a Java interface. For information about invoking a target service, see How to Specify Mediator Services or Events.

• Execution Type

  Mediator executes routing rules either sequentially (that is, running in the same thread) or in parallel (running on different threads). For information about specifying an execution type, see How to Specify Sequential or Parallel Execution.

  Note:

  For synchronous service invocations, the routing rule should always be sequential.

• Reply, Callback, and Fault Handlers

  You can define how Mediator handles synchronous reply, callback, and fault messages. For information about handlers, see How to Configure Response Messages, How to Handle Faults, and Static Routing Rule Components.
