uCosminexus Application Server Overview
Using the Service Platform, you can perform the data transformation of XML and binary data for the smooth processing of businesses in the systems that are built with SOA. You can perform the seamless data integration with existing systems, without thinking about any difference in the data format.
The Data transformation functionality transforms a request message to the appropriate format when, in the execution environment, the format of a request message transmitted from a service requester to an adapter differs from the format of a request message transmitted from the adapter to the service component. The following figure shows an overview of the data transformation functionality in the execution environment.
Figure 9-3 Overview of the data transformation functionality
If a service requester that is an application for sending requests (request messages) to execute services on the HCSC server, receives a request for executing service components, the service requester will send the request message to an adapter or a business process.
If the adapter (including an adapter called from a business process) includes a data transformation definition, the data transformation functionality converts the request message.
The functionality executes data transformation according to the contents specified in the data transformation definition. The adapter transmits the transformed request message to the service component to be executed.
If a response such as the execution result is to be returned to the business operator after service component execution, a data transformation is executed that is the opposite of the one performed during the execution request.
