Enable WebSphere Application Server to use an intermediary node for
Web services transactions
You can use intermediary nodes with Web Services Atomic Transactions
or Web Services Business Activities to support the exchange of associated
requests across firewalls and outside the WebSphere Application Server domain.
You configure WebSphere Application Server to use an intermediary node by
specifying the HTTP or HTTPS protocol prefix for the node, in each server
that is accessed through the intermediary.
Configure the intermediary node that you want to use, and ensure that
you know the address or addresses of the intermediary node that you want to
map to servers in your WebSphere Application Server configuration.
Procedure
- In the administrative console, click Servers
> Application Servers > server_name >
[Container Services] Transaction Service.
- Type the prefix for the intermediary node in the HTTP
proxy prefix or HTTPS proxy prefix field.
This prefix is the intermediary node address that maps to this server.
The HTTPS prefix is used if WebSphere Application Server security is enabled
and protocol security is enabled for the transaction service; otherwise the
HTTP prefix is used.
If you are using an HTTP server to route messages
through a Proxy Server for WebSphere Application Server, the prefix applies
to the HTTP server.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
- Repeat the previous steps for each server that is accessed through
the intermediary node.
- Restart the servers.
Results
You configured your system to use an intermediary node. Test your
configuration to ensure that messages are routed as you expect.
