Part 2 Part 2 Web service configuration In this part we provide detailed instructions on how we configured our test CICS environment to support Web services using both HTTP and WebSphere MQ as transport mechanisms. We also describe how we deployed service requester and service provider applications in WebSphere Application Server, and how we used Web services to connect between WebSphere Application Server and CICS. In chapter 5, we introduce the service integration bus and we outline the configuration steps for connecting to a CICS Web service via the bus. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2007. All rights reserved. 71
