Outbound Ports collection

An outbound port represents a single port for a WSDL-defined service provider. It provides the configuration of invocation of the web service.

Console path:

Service integration -> Buses -> bus_name -> [Services] Outbound Services -> service_name -> Outbound Ports.

Select the check boxes next to the names of the items to act on, then use the buttons provided.

Requests and responses to an outbound service can be sent across any binding (for example SOAP over HTTP or SOAP over JMS) available to both the service integration bus and the external web service. Each available binding is represented by a port.

We can associate JAX-RPC handler lists with ports, so that the handlers can monitor activity at the port, and take appropriate action depending upon the sender and content of each message that passes through the port. If the external web service requires HTTP basic authentication, we can use a JAX-RPC handler list to provide an HTTP basic authentication header.

We can set the levels of security to be applied to messages. The security level can be set independently for request and response messages.

Because the service is hosted externally, we might also have to enable proxy server authentication to get access to the Internet.
