Subtopics

• Web services gateway: Frequently asked questions
  Answers to questions such as what is the web services gateway and how does it work.

• What is new and changed: Web services gateway
  

• Target services and gateway services
  

• JAX-RPC handlers and proxy operation
  We can set the web services gateway to act purely as a proxy for the service, then use JAX-RPC handler lists to set the endpoints for incoming request messages for the service.

• Coexistence: Preserve or migrate a Version 5.1 gateway
  Web services gateways running on WebSphere Application Server Version 5.1 can, subject to certain restrictions, coexist with gateway instances running on Version 7.0 or later application servers. Alternatively, we can migrate the Version 5.1 gateways and application servers to WAS v7 or later. To help you choose whether to preserve or migrate the Version 5.1 gateways, this topic explains the restrictions to gateway coexistence and the approach taken to gateway migration.
