The "Bind ports" screen displays the ports defined in the collaboration template, the business object definition supported by each port, the type of component to which the port might be bound, and the particular components of the specified type to which each port can be bound. Depending on the value in the Type column, the Bind With column displays either the connectors or the collaborations that support the business object type in the Business Object Definition field. For each port displayed, choose either Collaboration, Connector or Web Service from the Type column and then choose the desired component in the Bind With column. To configure a port so that it can receive business object requests from an external programmatic entity (such as a servlet), you must follow the instructions in "Configuring external port bindings" on page 162. You can bind some, all, or none of the ports at this screen of the wizard. If you do not bind all the ports at this point you can always modify the port bindings after finishing the wizard. This way, if a particular component that you have to bind to a port does not support the necessary business object definition you can finish the collaboration object wizard, add support for the business object definition to the required component, and then reconfigure the collaboration object. For more information about binding ports, and information about how to modify port bindings, see "Binding collaboration object ports" on page 161. 5. Click Next to advance the wizard to the "Collaboration General Properties" screen. This screen allows you to configure the properties that belong to all collaboration templates defined in the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express business integration system. Figure 36 shows the "Collaboration General Properties" screen: Figure 36. Configuring collaboration object general properties Set each property to the desired value. Chapter 9.
