The iWay component may be used to utilize the adapter library of the iWay Adaptive Framework for Microservices Architecture.
You need to deploy a web application (iWayHelper.ear) on the application server on which the iWay JCA resource adapter to be used has been deployed.
The iWay component of Fiorano requests the above mentioned web application at design time to retrieve iWay configuration parameters such as available adapter names, target names, input/output schema of the available targets.
Configuration and Testing
The connection parameters can be configured in the connection properties panel of CPS.
Figure 1: Sample IWay connection configuration
Server connection can be tested from within the CPS by clicking on test in the connection properties panel.
Figure 2: Sample connection test result indicating success
IWay adapter related configuration can be captured in the interaction configuration panel

Input Schema
There is no input schema for this adapter.
Output Schema
There is no output schema for this adapter.
Functional Demonstration
This requires a licensed IWay adapter.
Use Case Scenario
In the purchasing system example the record purchase details are sent to an external inventory management system server for processing using an IWay adapter.
Figure 4: Purchasing system example
The event process demonstrating this scenario is bundled with the installer. The bundled process shows it as a HTTP component instead of an IWay component.
Documentation for the scenario and instructions to run the flow can be found in the Help tab of flow when open in Studio.
Useful Tips
- IWay adapter requests are executed through the deployed IWayHelper in the application server.
