Hi All,
I always had a question in my mind, whether it is a good idea to host messageflow (either as a web service or any other way) in scenarios where there is requirement to upload/download image files.
There is always a debate that starts, with points like
Should not, because:
1. there is no message transformation, routing, etc. required.
2. It is a pure data streaming.
Yes, one should, because:
1. You build a common service which can be used by multiple consumers.
2. Architectural principle, that all application-to-application communication should route through middle-ware.
3. Technically possible.
Also, if the point comes where we need to cater this in IIB. What are the key points to be considered?
I understand that size and frequency at which the files would be uploaded/retrieved would be key.
In which case, what would be the threshold value for these.
Do let me know your thoughts on this.
I am working on IIBv9, on Linux OS.
Any help is welcome.
Thanks.
Regards,
Pats21 |

I've always viewed IIB as a general purpose application development environment.
That's definitely a minority view. And it's an expensive one.
The considerations I have are the ones you've stated - size and frequency.
Nobody can tell you how to tune for these, as only you can know.

We had a similar problem and do it in message broker.
We are using Filenet Image Services as ECM (enterprise content management). We have an older version (migration to ibm filenet p8 next year ???) installed , so , no web services interface available (ok .. some ASP implementation providing basic http post to upload/download documents from filenet image services).
We needed the web service interface so we can more easily couple to web applications, api's etc so we decided to built it in message broker.
Uploading document is the same problem as uploading image file. No processing (just some minor metadata adjusting) is done, just upload to the image services server throught a dedicated client/server connection.
Shure there is no message transformation ,but we have a centralized service to upload and download our documents that can easily be used/connected to another services (choreography/orchestration) and api's at a lower level.
Of course the frequency of upload's and the size of the documents are the main concern , also auditing/monitoring of the service health is vital because this is a fundamental service in our SOA architecture.
We are using WMB 8.0.0.5 running on windows 2008 R2
