Configuring a Services Provider

How to:

Reference:

iWay Service Manager can quickly and easily expose iWay Business Services as Web Services through the iWay Business Services Provider (iBSP).

iWay Business Services Provider is installed with an embedded HSQL repository, which is the default data store for information that is generated during design time and then published into a deployed run-time environment. HSQL is an open source Java based SQL relational database engine and includes a JDBC driver.

The settings in the Services Provider pane refer to the configuration of the iWay Business Services Provider in the base configuration of the server.
