What is WBIs programming model?
A WBI “application” is called a plugin. A plugin consists of many modules, which are called MEGs. There are four different types of MEGs: Monitors, Editors (Request Editors and Document Editors), and Generators. Editors edit requests and responses, and Generators generate responses based on specific requests. Monitors examine requests and responses but do not change them. The MEGs in a plugin work together to achieve a particular functionality. For more information on WBI’s programming model and data model, see the Architecture section. • Is there sample plugin code that I can look at? Yes. The WBI DK includes several sample plugins. Each of these comes complete with source code, class files, and documentation. The source code and class files are located in the com/ibm/wbi/examples directory. The documentation is located in the doc/examples directory and can be reached from the Programming section. • Will plugins developed for WBI DK version 4.1 work with the new WBI DK version 4.5? No
