Developing web services - Addressing (WS-Addressing)
Web Services Addressing (WS-Addressing) aids interoperability between web services by
defining a standard way to address web services and to provide addressing information in messages.
The Web Services Addressing (WS-Addressing) support in this product provides the environment for web
services that use the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) WS-Addressing specifications. This family of
specifications provide transport-neutral mechanisms to address web services and to facilitate
end-to-end addressing.
Using the Web Services Addressing APIs: Creating an application that uses endpoint references
This product provides application programming interfaces for applications that have to create endpoint references and use those endpoint references to target web service endpoints.
Using the IBM proprietary Web Services Addressing SPIs: Performing more advanced Web Services Addressing tasks
This product provides proprietary system programming interfaces for more advanced Web Services Addressing (WS-Addressing) tasks, which involve the WS-Addressing message-addressing properties that are passed in the SOAP header of a web service message. You can also use the SPIs to choose a WS-Addressing specification level other than the default used by the product.
Enabling Web Services Addressing support for JAX-WS applications
The Web Services Addressing (WS-Addressing) support provides mechanisms to address web services and provide addressing information in messages. For JAX-WS applications, you can enable WS-Addressing support in several different ways, such as configuring policy sets or using annotations in code.
Enabling Web Services Addressing support for JAX-RPC applications
The Web Services Addressing (WS-Addressing) support provides mechanisms to address web services and provide addressing information in messages. To enable the WS-Addressing support for JAX-RPC applications, either configure the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file for a service that runs on WebSphere® Application Server, or use the WS-Addressing application programming interface (API) or system programming interface (SPI) to add WS-Addressing properties in a WebSphere Application Server client.
Disabling Web Services Addressing support
The Web Services Addressing (WS-Addressing) support provides mechanisms to address web services and provide addressing information in messages. WS-Addressing support is disabled by default on clients. The method for disabling WS-Addressing support on servers depends on whether your application is based on JAX-RPC or JAX-WS.
