In this example, a file sent from the HTTP client is converted by the file operations adapter, and then uploaded to the target server.

Figure 2-98 Example of a system using the HTTP adapter (1)

The figure below shows the flow of service component invocation and the flow of a file. The following numbers correspond to numbers in the figure.

1. The service requester (REST client program of the HTTP client) sends a file to the HCSC server.
2. The file received by HTTP reception is generated as an intermediate file in the work folder.
3. The file operations adapter invoked from the business process converts the intermediate file.
4. The HTTP adapter invoked from the business process sends the converted file to the target server.

In this example, a file saved on a server is downloaded to the HCSC server, and then sent to another (target) server.

Figure 2-99 Example of a system using the HTTP adapter (2)

The figure below the flow of service component invocation and the flow of a file. The following numbers correspond to the numbers in the figure.

1. The service requester (client program) sends a request for executing the business process.
2. HTTP adapter A invoked from the business process accesses the target server (application server A) and receives the file, and then saves the file in the common folder.
3. HTTP adapter B invoked from the business process sends the file saved in the common folder to the target server (application server B).
4. The file operations adapter deletes the received file from the common folder.
