This section describes the roles of the sample program components shown in 2.1 System configurations of sample programs.
- Service requester
An application program that uses a service. This component sends a service calling request (request message) to the HCSC server. The service requester in the sample program uses SOAP Communication Infrastructure.
- Standard reception
A function (interface) for receiving a service component request message from the service requester. This component is provided as a function of the HCSC server.
- User-defined reception
A function (interface) for receiving a service component request message from the service requester. For this component, unlike the standard reception provided as a function of the HCSC server, the user can define any interface.
- Business process
The processing order and processing conditions of services, and other information defined as a sequence of tasks.
- Service adapter
A function that receives a request from the service requester or business process and calls a service. This component exists on the HCSC server. This component returns the results of calling a service to the business process or service requester as a response message.
- Service component
A business-processing program. This component executes the processing requested by the service requester.
- HCSC server
A server function that manages the service adapter and business process to execute a service. This component exists in the service platform.
- J2EE server
A server function required to execute a J2EE application (application consisting of JSPs, servlets, enterprise beans, and other items).
