HTTP Binding Component Features

HTTP/SOAP Binding Component Features

• Supports the WSDL 1.1 and SOAP 1.1 specifications. Message exchanges to and from this binding component make use of the JBI WSDL 1.1 wrapper for the normalized message
• Implements HTTP and SOAP binding as defined by the WSDL 1.1 specification
• Follows WS-I 1.0 conventions and adds additional support for non-conforming components
• Supports Document and Remote Procedure Call (RPC) style web services
• Supports literal and encoded use
• Supports the common convention of WSDL retrieval, such as<service uri>?wsdl
• Uses XML Catalogs following the OASIS Committee Specification, which allows the component to resolve schemas locally without resorting to network access
• Supports JBI service unit deployments to define the web services to provide or consume
• Makes use of the WSDL extensibility (standard HTTP and SOAP extensions) to define external communication details for the web services to provision or consume
• Supports http://enterprise.netbeans.org/soa/compapp/casa/tutorials/bcbc/index.html, which allows direct HTTP Binding Component to HTTP Binding Component connections within a composite application
• Enhanced Application Variable Support
• Supports HTTP and HTTPS connections
• Metro(JAX-WS, Tango/WSIT) integration to support WS-* features (such as WS-Security, WS-Addressing, WS-Reliable Messaging, WS-Transaction, and so forth) for incoming and outgoing requests
• Full JAX-WS integration for incoming and outgoing requests
• Supports GlassFish V2 cluster mode

Service Provider Features

An HTTP Binding Component acting as a service provider supports sending HTTP or SOAP messages to an external web service.
Service provider features include:

• Outbound requests handled through the Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS)
• Support for proxy and proxy server authentication

Service Consumer Features

The HTTP Binding Component, acting as a service consumer, services HTTP requests or SOAP requests from HTTP clients, transforms (normalizes) them, and send them to the Normalized Message Router.
Service consumer features include:

• Uses asynchronous I/O (NIO) in the server to service thousands of concurrent incoming requests
• Packaged with an embedded HTTP server (Grizzly)
• Supports clustering

Security Features

Security features include support for transport level security through:

• Basic Authentication
• SSL Support
