WS-Notification service points [Settings]

A WS-Notification service point defines access to a WS-Notification service on a given bus member through a specified web service binding (for example SOAP over HTTP). Applications use the bus members associated with the WS-Notification service point to connect to the WS-Notification service.

To view this page in the console, click one of the following paths:

We can define any number of WS-Notification service points for a given WS-Notification service. Each service point defined for the same WS-Notification service represents an alternative entry point to the service. Event notifications published to a particular WS-Notification service point are received by all applications connected to any service point of the same WS-Notification service (subject to subscription on the correct topic) regardless of the particular service point to which they are connected.

The existence of a WS-Notification service point on a bus member implies that a WS-Notification web service is exposed from that bus member, and causes web service endpoints for the notification broker, subscription manager and publisher registration manager for this WS-Notification service to be exposed on the bus member with which the service point is associated. WS-Notification applications use these endpoints to interact with the WS-Notification service.

In this implementation of WS-Notification there are two types of WS-Notification service configuration:

Some of the fields are specific to the type of WS-Notification service that you are viewing.


Configuration tab

The Configuration tab shows configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the runtime environment is stopped then restarted. See the information center task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the runtime environment.


General Properties

Name

The name of the WS-Notification service point. This appears as part of the address of the web service that is exposed on the chosen server.

We cannot modify the name.

Required Data type
Yes String

Description

An optional description of the WS-Notification service point.

Required Data type
No Text area

Associated bus member

The name of the bus member on which this WS-Notification service point is deployed.

Required Data type
No String

General properties that are specific to Version 7.0 WS-Notification service points

SOAP Version

Defines the version of SOAP supported by the service point. This affects the WSDL definition that will be exposed by the web service. Permitted values are 1.1 for SOAP 1.1 (the default), and 1.2 for SOAP 1.2.

Required Data type
No String

NotificationBroker JAX-WS handler list

The JAX-WS handler list that is applied to inbound requests from an application to the NotificationBroker endpoint of the WS-Notification service point.

Required Data type
No drop-down list

SubscriptionManager JAX-WS handler list

The JAX-WS handler list that is applied to inbound requests from an application to the SubscriptionManager endpoint of the WS-Notification service point.

Required Data type
No drop-down list

PublisherRegistrationManager JAX-WS handler list

The JAX-WS handler list that is applied to inbound requests from an application to the PublisherRegistrationManager endpoint of the WS-Notification service point.

Required Data type
No drop-down list


Additional Properties

Administered subscribers

An administered subscriber provides a mechanism for the WS-Notification service point to subscribe to an external notification producer at server startup time.

Custom properties

Select this link to configure additional custom properties for this WS-Notification service point.

Additional properties that are specific to Version 7.0 WS-Notification service points

Policy set configuration

The policy set configuration associated with this WS-Notification service point. We can configure policy set and binding information for each port relating to this service point.

Publish WSDL files to zip

Publish the WSDL files for this service point to a compressed file.

When you run the wsimport command against the exported PublisherRegistrationManager.wsdl file include the ibm-wsn-jaxws.xml file as an argument to wsimport. For more information, see Publish the WSDL files for a WS-Notification application to a compressed file.

Service point application

The application associated with this WS-Notification service point. For Version 7.0 WS-Notification services, enterprise applications are used to expose the web services associated with the WS-Notification service.

Additional properties that are specific to Version 6.1 WS-Notification service points

Notification broker inbound port settings

The inbound port defined for the notification broker role of this WS-Notification service point.

Publisher registration manager inbound port settings

The inbound port defined for the publisher registration manager role of this WS-Notification service point.

Subscription manager instance inbound port settings

The inbound port defined for the subscription manager role of this WS-Notification service point.


Runtime tab

The Runtime tab shows runtime properties for this object. These properties directly affect the current runtime environment, but are not preserved when that environment is stopped. To preserve runtime property values, change the equivalent property values on the Configuration tab. See the information center task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the runtime environment.


Additional Properties

Subscriptions

This collection lists the subscriptions that have been created on the associated bus member or members by WS-Notification applications. Use this panel to view the information about a subscription, such as the topic on which the subscription is registered and the time at which it is currently set to expire. We can also delete a subscription using the button provided.

Publisher registrations

The set of applications that are currently registered as publishers with the notification broker.

Pull points

This collection lists the pull points that have been created on the associated bus member or members by WS-Notification applications. Use this panel to view the information about a pull point, such as the subscription with which it is associated and the time at which it is currently set to expire. We can also delete a pull point using the button provided.

Administered subscribers

An administered subscriber provides a mechanism for the WS-Notification service point to subscribe to an external notification producer at server startup time.
