Outbound Ports settings

An outbound port represents a single port for a WSDL-defined service provider. It provides the configuration of invocation of the Web service.

To view this administrative console page, click Service integration > Buses > [Content Pane] bus_name > [Services] Outbound Services > [Content Pane] service_name > Outbound Ports > [Content Pane] port_name.

Requests and responses to an outbound service can be sent across any binding (for example SOAP over HTTP or SOAP over JMS) that is available to both the service integration bus and the external Web service. Each available binding is represented by a port.

You can set the levels of security to be applied to messages. The security level can be set independently for request and response messages.

Because the service is hosted externally, you might also need to enable proxy server authentication to get permission to access the Internet.

Configuration tab

Configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the run-time environment is stopped then restarted. Changing these property values typically has no effect until the run-time environment is restarted; for example, by stopping then restarting an application server. See the information center task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the run-time environment.

General properties

Name

This name must be unique, and it must obey the following syntax rules:
  • It must not start with "." (a period).
  • It must not start or end with a space.
  • It must not contain any of the following characters: \ / , # $ @ : ; " * ? < > | = + & % '

Port destination name

The name of the port destination for this port.

Required Yes
Data type JSP

Port destination point

The application server or cluster for the port destination.

Required Yes
Data type JSP

Binding namespace

The namespace of the binding for this port.

Required No
Data type Text

Endpoint address

The endpoint address for this port.

Required No
Data type Text

JAX-RPC handler list

This defines which list of JAX-RPC handlers is to be invoked for this port.

You use JAX-RPC handlers to monitor activity at the port, and take appropriate action (for example logging, or re-routing) depending upon the sender and content of each message that passes through the port. If the external Web service requires HTTP basic authentication, you can use a JAX-RPC handler list to provide an HTTP basic authentication header.

You configure the set of JAX-RPC handler lists using the administrative console option Service integration > Web services > JAX-RPC handler lists.

Required No
Data type Selection list

Security request binding

The security binding to be used with requests sent by this port.

You configure the security bindings in this list using the administrative console option Service integration > Web services > WS-Security bindings.

Required No
Data type Selection list

Security response binding

The security binding to be used for responses received by this port.

You configure the security bindings in this list using the administrative console option Service integration > Web services > WS-Security bindings.

Required No
Data type Selection list

Security configuration

Specifies the details of how security is applied to requests and responses.

You define the security configurations in this list using the administrative console option Service integration > Web services > WS-Security configurations.

Required No
Data type Selection list

Authenticating proxy host name

The host name of the authenticating proxy used for invoking requests for this port.

The service integration technologies require access to the Internet for invoking outbound Web services and for retrieval of service provider WSDL files. If you use a proxy server in support of Internet routing, and if your proxy server is configured to require authentication before it grants access to the Internet, then you must also complete, for this outbound port, the steps described in the information center for enabling proxy server authentication.
Required No
Data type Text

Authenticating proxy port number

The port number of the authenticating proxy.

Required No
Data type Text

Authenticating proxy user ID

The user ID to be used in requests through the proxy.

Required No

Authenticating proxy password

The password to be used in requests through the proxy.
