Configure WS-Notification resources using the administrative console
Use the administrative console to configure individual WS-Notification services, service points, administered subscribers, permanent topic namespaces, topic namespace documents and JAX-WS handlers.
Decide which method to use to configure these resources. We can configure WS-Notification resources using the administrative console as described in this task, or using the commands in the WSNotificationCommands .
WS-Notification enables web services to use the publish and subscribe messaging pattern. See WS-Notification: Overview and WS-Notification.
For high-level configuration of WS-Notification, see Accomplishing common WS-Notification tasks. Use the steps for this task to configure individual instances of each type of WS-Notification resource.
You access the WS-Notification panels through the Service integration section of the administrative console navigation pane:
- To see a list of all the WS-Notification services within the cell, click Service integration -> WS-Notification -> Services.
- To see a list of all the WS-Notification services for a particular service integration bus, click Service integration -> Buses -> bus_name -> [Services] WS-Notification services.
To support the Java API for XML-based Web Services (JAX-WS) and composition with WS-ReliableMessaging, we create the WS-Notification services as JAX-WS applications. The implementation of WS-Notification in WebSphere Application Server v6.1 uses JAX-RPC applications, so there are now two different implementations of the WS-Notification service and service point:
- v7.0: Compose a JAX-WS WS-Notification service with web service qualities of service (QoS) via policy sets, or to apply JAX-WS handlers to the WS-Notification service. IBM recommends this type of service for new deployments.
- v6.1: Expose a JAX-RPC WS-Notification service that uses the same technology provided in WAS v6.1, including the ability to apply JAX-RPC handlers to the service. This WS-Notification option has been available in WAS from v6.1.
To configure specific WS-Notification resources, use the administrative console to complete any of the following tasks:
