Outbound Services settings

An outbound service represents a WSDL-described service.

To view this administrative console page, click Service integration > Buses > [Content Pane] bus-name > Outbound Services > [Content Pane] service-name.

An outbound service is a Web service that is hosted externally, and is made available through a service integration bus. To configure an externally-hosted service for a bus, you first associate it with a service destination, then you configure one or more port destinations (one for each type of binding, for example SOAP over HTTP or SOAP over JMS) through which service requests and responses are passed to the external service.
