Port

Specifies a port name for a web service. A module can contain one or more web services, each of which can contain one or more ports.

Web service

Name of the web service. A module can contain one or more web services.

URI

Specifies the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the binding file that defines the scope. The URI is relative to the web module.

Scope

Scope of a port. The valid values for scope are request, session and application.

The scope value determines when a new instance of a service implementation is created for the web service ports in a module. When the scope value is set to application, the same instance of the implementation is used for all requests on the application. When the scope value is set to session, the same instance is used for all requests on each session. When the scope value is set to request, a new instance is created for every request.
