Overview

Services are executable Java procedures that are used to handle the business logic of a message in iWay Service Manager (iSM).

A service is the business layer that incorporates the logic for encapsulating the business process which interacts with other distributed component services to provide transactions for business state information. This business layer incorporates the application business logic. In an iSM environment, business logic consists of one or more services acting on an input document. Services can be stacked, such that the output of one service is passed to the next service, or multiple services can be executed in parallel.

Services are written in standard Java language and can make use of any available Java libraries or services. iWay Software supplies a comprehensive set of predefined services with iSM that you can use as part of your business logic.
