EJB endpoint URL syntax
An EJB endpoint URL is used to access a Web service with the EJB Remote Method Invocation over Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (RMI-IIOP) transport. The URL specifies the EJB endpoint, including the EJB home class, the EJB Java ™ Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) name, and optional properties.
IBM WAS supports the JAX-WS model and the JAX-RPC model. JAX-WS is the next generation Web services model extending the foundation provided by the JAX-RPC model. Using the strategic JAX-WS model, development of Web services and clients is simplified through support of a standards-based annotations model. Although the JAX-RPC model and applications are still supported, take advantage of the easy-to-implement JAX-WS model to develop new Web services applications and clients.
An EJB endpoint URL has the following format:
wsejb:/[classname]?<property>=<value>&<property>=<value>&...Where:
- wsejb is the transport type
- classname is the name of the home interface class associated with the EJB to be invoked
- property and value pairs represent the set of required and optional properties. These properties are used to set certain values in the EJB endpoint URL. The various properties and definitions are described in the table.
