This is version 1. It is not the current version, and thus it cannot be edited.
[Back to current version]   [Restore this version]

Current Features

  • Supports the WSDL 1.1 and SOAP 1.1 specs (the RI example uses WSDL 2.0, SOAP 1.2). Message exchanges to and from this BC make use of the JBI WSDL 1.1 wrapper for the normalized message.
  • It implements the SOAP binding from the WSDL 1.1 spec (not HTTP Get/Post or Mime bindings)
  • Follows WS-I 1.0 conventions and adds additional support for non-conforming components
  • Supports Document and RPC style web services
  • Supports literal use
  • Supports the common convention of WSDL retrieval via <service uri>?wsdl
  • Uses XML Catalogs following the OASIS Committee Specification - these allow the component to resolve schemas locally without resorting to network access
  • Packages an embedded HTTP server (Grizzly)
  • Uses asynchronous I/O (NIO) in the server to service 1000s of concurrent incoming requests
  • Outbound requests are currently handled via SAAJ 1.2
  • The HTTP BC currently only handles ports that are not serviced by the application server
  • Supports JBI service unit deployments to define the web services to provision or consume.
  • Makes use of the WSDL extensibility (standard SOAP extensions) to define external communication details for the web services to provision or consume.
