18.4 Configuring the Oracle Mediator Interface Definition

When you create a new Oracle Mediator, you can specify an interface template that generates a basic set of default files in the Oracle Mediator project. These files provide a framework from which you can design and configure the Oracle Mediator. You can create an Oracle Mediator with the following interface options: ■ Oracle Mediator with no interface definition ■ Oracle Mediator with the interface defined by a WSDL file ■ Oracle Mediator with a one-way interface ■ Oracle Mediator with a synchronous interface ■ Oracle Mediator with an asynchronous interface ■ Oracle Mediator that subscribes to events

18.4.1 Creating an Oracle Mediator Without an Interface Definition

You can create an empty Oracle Mediator with no interface definition. This process does not create a WSDL file, and it provides you with the flexibility to create the SOA components in the order you want. After you create an Oracle Mediator without an interface definition, you must create a service or an event that starts the Oracle Mediator. 18-10 Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle SOA Suite
