Develop applications that use Web Services Addressing

Develop applications that use Web Services Addressing

Web Services Addressing (WS-Addressing) aids interoperability between web services by defining a standard way to address web services and to provide addressing information in messages. This task describes the steps required to create a web service that is accessed through a WS-Addressing endpoint reference.

Complete these tasks if you are using endpoint references in the web service application logic to address web service endpoints, or if you are creating a web service that complies with the WS-Addressing interoperability protocol.

To undertake the basic WS-Addressing development activities required by web services developers, such as creating a web service referenced by an endpoint reference, refer to Use the Web Services Addressing APIs: Create an application that uses endpoint references.

To undertake more advanced WS-Addressing functions, such as setting or retrieving message-addressing properties, refer to Use the IBM proprietary Web Services Addressing SPIs: Performing more advanced Web Services Addressing tasks.

To configure a service or a client to use the WS-Addressing support, refer to Enable Web Services Addressing support for JAX-RPC applications.
