Creating Bindings in a Mashup
There are multiple ways to create bindings between items in Mashup Builder.
Drag-and-Drop
You can create bindings between items properties in your mashup by dragging a bindable property onto a valid target on a panel. Your pointer changes to a plus sign. To create the binding, release the right mouse button.
You can also create bindings by dragging a property on the canvas from one widget to another.
When you drop a property to a widget on the canvas, a list of properties appears. These are the target properties that you can bind the current source to. Select a property to use as a target for the binding.
Using the Shortcut Menu
To quickly create a binding between a data service property and a valid target, right-click a data property on the Data, User, and Session panels. The shortcut menu appears. You can bind a data property from a service to a parameter within another service.
1. Open the Data, User, or Session panel.
2. Right-click a data property, then click Select source. The property is now selected. A message appears containing:
◦ The data entity name
◦ The service name
◦ The data property name
 | The list of available properties on the Data panel is filtered, and only valid targets are displayed. |
3. To bind the source property to a target, right-click a valid target, then click Bind to target. A binding is created.
