Setting the namespace URI and WSDL URI for the Web services gateway

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.

[Version 5.0.2 and later]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

  1. Display the Web services gateway administrative user interface.
  2. In the navigation pane, click the following link:

    Gateway

    • Configure

    The gateway configuration form is displayed:The Web services gateway configuration page
  3. In the Namespace URI for services field, type the new name.

    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:

    • The name begins with urn:

      See the guidance on Internet standards for the syntax of Uniform Resource Names (URNs) at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2141.txt.

    • The name is globally unique.
    • The name reflects your company name.

  4. In the WSDL URI for exported definitions field, type the new name.

    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.

  5. Click Apply Changes.

What to do next

You are now ready to deploy your channels, filters and UDDI references to the gateway.

[Version 5.0.2 and later]You might also want to enable proxy authentication for the gateway.
