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.

To view this page in the console, click the following path:

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

To browse or change the properties of a listed item, select its name in the list.

To change which entries are listed, or to change the level of detail displayed for those entries, use the Filter settings.

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.
