EJB endpoint URL syntax

An EJB endpoint URL is used to access a web service with the EJB Remote Method Invocation over Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (RMI-IIOP) transport. The URL specifies the EJB endpoint, including the EJB home class, the EJB JNDI name, and optional properties.

Important: IBM WAS supports JAX-WS and JAX-RPC. JAX-WS extends JAX-RPC. JAX-WS supports annotations.

An EJB endpoint URL has the following format:

wsejb:/[classname]?property=value&property=value&...

Where:

• wsejb is the transport type

• classname is the name of the home interface class associated with the EJB to be invoked

• property and value pairs represent the set of required and optional properties. These properties are used to set certain values in the EJB endpoint URL. The various properties and definitions are described in the table.

Property name	Description
jndiName	Specifies the JNDI name of the EJB. Required.
initialContextFactory	Name of the JNDI initial context factory. This property is optional
jndiProviderURL	Specifies the JNDI provider URL. This property is optional.
