Creating Service Consumers

SOPERA Adapter provides adapter service and notification templates that you use to create service consumers for all supported communication styles. The following table lists the adapter templates that you use to create a service consumer for each communication style:

Communication Style	Adapter Service/Notification Template Name	Template Type
Request-response	SOPERA Generic Consumer	Adapter service
One-way	SOPERA Generic Consumer	Adapter service
Notification	SOPERA Notification Consumer	Adapter notification
Request-callback	SOPERA Generic Consumer SOPERA Callback Consumer Note: Used only when the Send request only field in the SOPERA Generic Consumer template is selected.	Adapter service Adapter notification

With the request-callback communication style, you create a service consumer in one of the following ways:

Configure the SOPERA Generic Consumer adapter service by selecting a specific SOPERA service and the request-callback operation as the operation that the adapter service will provide. This is similar to a non-blocking request-response style.

Create a Request-callback service consumer in two steps:

Create the SOPERA Generic Consumer adapter service that submits the request.

Create the SOPERA Generic Consumer adapter notification that receives the callback.
