What is the role of a data mediator interceptor?
how mediation works say for a component A with reference R that references a service S in component B.?* The interceptor gets added by the connector. A’s outbound wire and B’s inbound wire describe the datatypes their implementations can support. When the wire ends are connected the connector adds the interceptor if mediation is needed. One job of a transport binding is to convert an in-memory physical representation to a suitable set of bits on the network (aka serialization and deserialization). Rather than reinvent the different transports we reuse existing implementations such as Axis2 or RMI. As such we need to convert the physical representation on our internal wire with that used by the transport. So, for example, Axis2 only understands AXIOM so in a reference we need to convert the user’s physical representation to AXIOM and in a service we need to convert the AXIOM generated by the transport into the form the user’s implementation requires. The steps could be described as foll
