Use the Web Services Addressing API: Creating an application that uses endpoint references

 

WAS provides application programming interfaces for applications that need to create endpoint references and use those endpoint references to target Web service endpoints. The steps described in this task apply to servers and clients that run on WAS.

 

Overview

Perform this task if you are a Web service developer who needs to create endpoint references within an application, and then use these references to target Web service resource instances. For example, a WSRF application developer.

 

Procedure

1. Create a Web service that is referenced by an endpoint reference, and a client that accesses the Web service, using the instructions in Creating a Web service application that is referenced through a Web Services Addressing endpoint reference.

    

2. Optional: You can extend the application that you created in the previous step so that it conforms to the Web Services Resource Framework (WSRF) specifications, by following the instructions in Creating stateful Web services using the Web Services Resource Framework.
