Web Services Addressing support

 

The Web Services Addressing (WS-Addressing) support in WebSphere Application Server provides the environment for Web services that use the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C) WS-Addressing specifications. This family of specifications provide transport-neutral mechanisms to address Web services and to facilitate end-to-end addressing. You do not normally need to be aware of the underlying WS-Addressing support because WAS will ensure that your Web service applications are WS-Addressing compliant when required. Read this topic, and other WS-Adressing and Web Services Resource Framework (WSRF) topics, only if use the WS-Addressing support directly. For example, if you have one of the following roles:

 

Features of the WS-Addressing support

The WS-Addressing support in WAS provides the following features for core WS-Addressing application development using the API:

The support for extended WS-Addressing system development using the SPI provides the following features:

 

Support for WS-Addressing specifications and interoperability

By default, WAS supports the W3C WS-Addressing 1.0 Core and SOAP Binding specifications that are identified by the http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing namespace. Unless otherwise stated, WS-Addressing semantics that are described in this documentation refer to these specifications.

For interoperability, other levels of the WS-Addressing specification are supported in this version of WAS; in particular, the WS-Addressing W3C submission with the namespace http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing. In addition, WAS supports the following features from the WS-Addressing Web Services Description Language (WSDL) binding specification:
