Inbound Ports [Collection]
An inbound port describes the web service enablement of a service destination on a specific endpoint listener, with associated configuration.
Service integration -> Buses -> bus_name -> [Services] Inbound Services -> service_name -> [Additional Properties] Inbound Ports .
Requests and responses to an inbound service can be sent across any binding (for example SOAP over HTTP or SOAP over JMS) that is available to the service integration bus. Each available binding is represented by a type of port.
Each inbound port is associated with an endpoint listener, and you can control which groups of users can access a particular inbound service by making the service available only through specific endpoint listeners.
We can associate JAX-RPC handler lists with ports, so that the handlers can monitor activity at the port, and take appropriate action depending upon the sender and content of each message that passes through the port.
We can set the levels of security to be applied to messages. The security level can be set independently for request and response messages.
When a SOAP message is processed at the inbound port as specified in the SOAP specification, if the SOAP header has an actor attribute that is not intended for processing in the inbound port, the attribute is forwarded in the message.
