Connection management API

The ZIETrans runtime has added a new API that you can use to acquire the transformation connection (also referred to as the "default connection") in a servlet context in anticipation of executing a middle-in-chain Integration Object against that transformation connection. The purpose of this new API is to provide better integration between ZIETrans applications and other, non-ZIETrans Web applications. The API consists of two new static methods, acquireExistingTransformationConnection and releaseExistingTransformationConnection, added to the RuntimeFunctions class in the com.ibm.hats.runtime package.

The signatures of the method are as follows:
  • public static final String acquireExistingTransformationConnection(HttpServletRequest request) throws HostConnectionException, ApplicationUnavailableException
  • public static final void releaseExistingTransformationConnection(HttpServletRequest request)
