Overview

Configure a service endpoint is necessary to connect Web service clients to any Web services among the components being assembled or to any external Web services.

You can specify HTTP URL prefixes for Web services that are accessed through HTTP by using the Provide HTTP endpoint URL information panel in the console. The HTTP URL prefixes provide location specific information and are used to form complete endpoint URLs that are included within published WSDL files. To configure these prefixes with the console:

 

Procedure

1. Open the console.

2. Click...

   Applications | Enterprise Applications | application_instance | Provide HTTP endpoint URL information

3. Specify the URL prefixes for the Web service.

   In this step you specify the protocol (HTTP or HTTPS), as well as the host_name and port_number used in the endpoint URL.

   1. Select...

      Default HTTP URL Prefix

      ...or...

      Custom HTTP URL Prefix

      If you select the default HTTP URL prefix, a list provides you with a choice of endpoint URL prefixes. The list is a combination of two sets of ports in the module:

      • virtual host ports
      • appserver ports

      Use a prefix from this list if the appserver of the Web service is accessed directly. Select a value and also select the check box of the modules to use the prefix.

      To use a custom HTTP URL prefix, type the value in the field. Select the check box to use in the prefix.

   2. Click Apply.

      The URL prefix, whether default or custom, is copied to the selected module HTTP URL prefix field.

   3. Click OK. The URL information is saved to your workspace.

 

Results

You have specified the partial URL information that is used to form the target endpoint addresses in the WSDL files that are published using the Publish WSDL files panel.

 

What to do next

Configure any other URL endpoint information for JMS bindings and direct EJB access. Then, publish WSDL files.
