WAS v8.5 > Reference > SetsPreferred port mappings
Use this page to view and manage a preferred portType mapping for a web service.
This dmgr console page applies only to JAX-RPC applications.
When we have multiple ports that reference the same portType (service endpoint interface), a preferred port specifies the port to use when the Service.getPort(Class SEI) method is called with only the service endpoint interface.
To view this dmgr console page, click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application_name > Manage Modules > module instance > Web services client bindings > Edit > preferred_port_instance.
portType
PortType.
The preferred port and the portType values are both of the type java.xml.namespace.QName.
Preferred port
Preferred port to be associated with a particular portType. The Service.getPort(Class) method returns the preferred port associated with the specified service endpoint interface class (portType).
The preferred ports available are listed, as well as a value of None, which indicates no preferred port is selected.
