WebSphere Application Server supports the use of the Java Message Service (JMS) API to transport Web services requests, as an alternative to using HTTP.
Configuring a service endpoint is necessary to connect Web service clients to any Web services among the components being assembled or to any external Web services. You can configure the endpoint URL information for JMS during application installation
In this task, enter the JMS endpoint URL prefix to use for each Web service-enabled Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) Java archive (JAR) file that belong to the application. The JMS endpoint URLs are included in the Web Service Description Language (WSDL) files published for clients to use.
You can specify HTTP URL prefixes for Web services that are accessed through HTTP by using the Provide HTTP endpoint URL information panel in the administrative console. These prefixes are used to form complete endpoint addresses that are included in WSDL files when published.
You can specify JMS URL prefixes by using the Provide JMS and EJB endpoint URL information panel in the administrative console during or after application installation.
To configure JMS URL prefixes:
jms:/queue?destination=jms/StockQuote_Q&connectionFactory=jms/StockQuote_CF
jms:/queue?destination=jms/StockQuote_Q&connectionFactory=jms/StockQuote_CF&targetService=getQuote
The published WSDL file is used by clients to invoke the Web service.
