- Foreign destination
- A foreign destination is a software agent, outside of the system, that receives messages reliably through WS-ReliableMessaging.
- Foreign source
- A Foreign source is a software agent, outside of the system, that sends messages reliably through WS-ReliableMessaging.
- Implementation WSDL
- A WSDL document that describes not only the interface to a service (that is the messages, port types and bindings) but also the service implementation (that is, it has service and port elements). The service interface should preferably be defined by importing a separate interface WSDL document.
- Interface WSDL
- A WSDL document that describes only the interface to a service. That is, it defines messages, port types and bindings, but not services and ports.
- Policy set instance document
- A document containing configuration details for a selection of web services standards. For more information, see Secure web services applications with policy sets
- Provider application
- A provider application is an application that implements a service.
- Reliable web service provider
- See also the general definition of a provider application. The Reliable web service provider is a provider application that has been deployed into the system being modeled, and is configured to use WS-ReliableMessaging. This is the WebSphere Application Server-hosted equivalent of a foreign destination. It is outside of the boundary of the system and interacts with the system.
- Reliable web service requester
- See also the general definition of a requester application. The Reliable web service requester is a requester application that has been deployed into the system being modeled, and is configured to use WS-ReliableMessaging. This is the WAS-hosted equivalent of a foreign source. It is outside of the boundary of the system and interacts with the system.
- Requester application
- A requester application is an application that makes web service requests.
- Terminate (a sequence)
- When the reliable messaging source has completed its use of a sequence, it sends a TerminateSequence message to the reliable messaging destination to indicate the sequence is complete and that it will not be sending any further messages related to the sequence. The reliable messaging destination can then safely reclaim any resources associated with the sequence.
