Modifying an existing inbound service configuration
Modify the configuration details for an existing inbound service. For example: secure the service; apply JAX-RPC handler lists to the ports for the service; publish the service to more than one UDDI registry.
About this task
An inbound service is a web interface to a service that is provided internally (that is, a service provided by your own organization and hosted in a location that is directly available through a service integration bus destination).
When you first create an inbound service, you connect
the service to one or more endpoint listeners and (optionally) specify the
UDDI publication properties that are used to publish the inbound service to
an initial UDDI registry. An inbound port is automatically created for each
endpoint listener that you select, but each inbound port is created without
a template port, JAX-RPC handler list or security settings. Modify
your inbound service configuration if you want to control and monitor access
to your inbound services in any of the following ways:
- 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.
- Password-protect a web service operation.
- Set the level of security to be applied to messages (the WS-Security configuration and bindings). The security level can be set independently for request and response messages.
- Publish the service to more than one UDDI registry.
To list the existing inbound services, and to view and modify their configuration details, complete the following steps:
