Description

This Adapter represents the GreenVulcano® ESB client API configuration.

VulCon / GV Console Configuration

Configuration is made up of three sections:

  • ConnectorServices: Contains information to identify the communication channel, according to the couple service/system or only to the service.
    Moreover, for each primitive (request, request/reply, etc.), this section declares also the extensions to invoke. For services not covered by the parameters defined in this section is used the default channel, without applying any extension.
  • Extensions: Extensions are pre/post processing data that can be made by the connector immediately before invoking GreenVulcano® ESB and/or immediately before returning the result to the caller.
  • Channels: This section defines the connection parameters to GreenVulcano® ESB. Typically there is a single channel of communication to all GreenVulcano® ESB services required by the client. However, for special needs, you can define several channels for different services.


The following table shows the GVConnectorConfiguration's attributes:

Attribute Type Description
type fixed This attribute must assume the value module
