Modify the configuration details for an outbound service.
For example: secure the service; apply JAX-RPC handler lists to the
ports for the service; publish the service to more than one UDDI registry.
About this task
An outbound service provides access, through one or more
outbound ports, to a Web service that is hosted externally. An outbound
service can be used by any of your internal systems that can access
the service integration bus on which it is hosted.
When you
first create an outbound service you select the ports that are to
be enabled for the service, but you do not associate the ports with
JAX-RPC handler lists or security settings. You need to modify your
outbound service configuration if you want to control and monitor
access to the target service in any of the following ways:
- Associate JAX-RPC handler lists with ports, so that the handlers
can monitor activity at the port, and take appropriate action depending
upon the sender and content of each message that passes through the
port.
- Password-protect a Web service operation.
- Set the level of security to be applied to messages (the WS-Security
binding). The security level can be set independently for request
and response messages.
- Enable proxy server authentication for any of the ports.
To list the existing outbound services, and to view and
modify their configuration details, complete the following steps:
