Name

Enter a name or accept the default name of mftServicenumber or mftReferencenumber. This becomes the name for this service or reference in the SOA Composite Editor.

Service or Reference

Select the direction in which you want the MFT service to operate.

• Service: Creates an inbound MFT service in the Exposed Services (left) swimlane that provides the outside world with an entry point to the SOA composite application. This direction is selected by default if you dropped the MFT service into the Exposed Services swimlane. More This corresponds to an MFT target of type SOA.

• Reference: Creates an outbound MFT service in the External References (right) swimlane that enables messages to be sent from the SOA composite application to external partners in the outside world. This direction is selected by default if you dropped the MFT service into the External References swimlane. More This corresponds to an MFT source of type SOA.

Interface

Select the interface for the MFT reference.

• Define using a new MFT Reference: Creates an interface for the MFT reference using the default MFT WSDL file.
