Endpoint listeners [Collection]
An endpoint listener receives requests from service requester applications within a specific application server or cluster.
Servers -> Server Types -> WebSphere application servers -> server_name
-> Endpoint listeners .
An endpoint listener is the point (address) at which incoming messages for a web service are received by a service integration bus. The endpoint listener acts as the ultimate receiver of a SOAP message. The resulting messages that pass across the service integration bus are not then SOAP messages, rather just the data and context that resulted from receiving the SOAP message. Each endpoint listener supports a particular binding. The endpoint listeners that are supplied with WAS support SOAP over HTTP and SOAP over JMS bindings.
Before you can use an endpoint listener, complete the following steps.
- Install the endpoint listener application in WAS.
- Configure the endpoint listener for an application server and (as part of the configuration) connect the endpoint listener to one or more available service integration buses.
- On a service integration bus to which we have connected the endpoint listener:
- Configure an inbound service and (as part of the configuration) connect the service to a new inbound port.
- Associate the new inbound port with the newly-deployed endpoint listener.
A deployed endpoint listener is not used until you deploy a web service that uses the endpoint listener.
