Creating services that return the processed output

The Event and Process configurations are the same as in a scenario where a client sends input directly to a StreamServer. The key features in a Service Broker scenario are the Service Channel (HTTP) input, and the Service Channel Response (HTTP) output connectors:

•	With the Service Channel (HTTP) input connector you specify the name and version of the service to publish.

•	The client sends the input via the Service Broker to the Service Channel (HTTP) input connector.

•	With the Service Channel Response (HTTP) output connector you specify the content type of the response to the client.

•	The response to the client is sent via the Service Channel Response (HTTP) output connector and the Service Broker to the client that issued the request.

To configure a Service Channel (HTTP) input connector

Create and configure the Service Channel (HTTP) input connector according to standard procedures. Specify the following settings:

•	Service description – The name of the service published in the Service Broker. This name will be used in the client requests when requesting this specific service. You can define several names, separated by comma, for the same service.

•	Version – The version of the service. There can be several versions of the same service. A client can request a specific version of a service. If the client does not request a specific version, it will get the highest available version of the service.

To configure a Service Channel Response (HTTP) output connector

Create and configure the Service Channel Response (HTTP) output connector according to standard procedures. Specify the following settings:

•	Content-type – The content-type of the output. For example text/html.
