Adding a Reviewer

How to:

There are two types of reviewers. An inbound reviewer is the first exit to receive a document after parsing. An outbound reviewer is the last exit to receive the document prior to the actual emit operation. These exits are intended for envelope handling but can be used for any desired purpose.

Reviewers receive an incoming document as input, and are responsible for loading the outbound document with the appropriate information after the review. For example, an inbound reviewer might handle the WS-SECURITY header, operating on the payload of the document as directed by the fields in the header.

If more than one reviewer is defined for a message, they are chained, such that the output of one reviewer is the input to the next. Several reviewers, one following the other, might each be responsible for handling one type of envelope header.

For more information on reviewers, see the iWay Service Manager Programmer's Guide.
