Before you begin
Initial values for the namespace URI and WSDL URI are automatically configured when you install the Web services gateway.
When you change these URIs, you break the link back to the Web services gateway for every Web service that you have already deployed, so you must set these URIs before you deploy any Web services to the gateway.
You
should not make changes to these URIs for a gateway that is part of an unlocked configuration load-balancing
group.
Why and when to perform this task
When you deploy a Web service to the gateway, these two URIs are used in the following ways:
To set the namespace URI and WSDL URI for the Web services gateway, complete the following steps:
Steps for this task
Gateway
There is no fixed syntax for the namespace URI, but whatever name you choose is likely to be more effective if it observes the following guidelines:
See the guidance on Internet standards for the syntax of Uniform Resource Names (URNs) at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2141.txt.
The initial value is the gateway best guess at the right value, but you probably want to overwrite it with a new value. For example it might guess a local URI such as http://hldswrth:9080/wsgw, and because you are giving the WSDL to people in other companies, you modify this value to http://hldswrth.your_company.com/wsgw. Note that only the host and port parts of the initial value are modified. This URI must always start with http:// and end with /wsgw.
What to do next
You are now ready to deploy your channels, filters and UDDI references to the gateway.
You might also want to enable proxy authentication for the gateway.
