Bus-enabled web services

Use these concepts to explore service integration bus-enabled web services.

Subtopics

• Bus-enabled web services: Frequently asked questions
  A set of frequently asked questions about service integration bus-enabled web services are collected together in this topic.

• Plan the bus-enabled web services installation
  Consider how your environment will be configured to support service integration bus-enabled web services. Determine which of the bus-enabled web services roles we want each server or cluster to perform.

• Endpoint listeners and inbound ports: Entry points to the service integration bus
  An endpoint listener is a web service-enabled entry point to one or more service integration buses. An endpoint listener carries requests and responses between web service clients and buses.

• Outbound ports and port destinations
  A set of outbound ports and associated port destinations provides the mechanism through which an outbound service communicates with the externally-hosted target web service.

• Service integration technologies and JAX-RPC handlers
  A JAX-RPC handler is a Java class that performs a range of handling tasks.For example: logging messages, or transforming their contents, or terminating an incoming request. Handlers monitor messages at ports, and take appropriate action depending upon the sender and content of each message.

• Non-bound WSDL
  When developing a client application following best practices, we can develop against a WSDL document containing only a port type definition, and no specific bindings or port addresses. Such a WSDL document is known as a non-bound WSDL document.

• UDDI registries: Web service directories that can be referenced by bus-enabled web services
  The UDDI specification defines a way to publish and discover information about web services. UDDI registries use the UDDI specification to publish directory listings of web services.

• SOAP with attachments: A definition
  

• Operation-level security: Role-based authorization
  

• Service integration technologies and WS-Security
