WebSphere Application Server provides application programming interfaces
for applications that need to create endpoint references and use those endpoint
references to target Web service endpoints.
Before you begin
The steps described in this task apply to servers and clients that
run on WebSphere Application Server.
About this task
Perform this task if you are a Web service developer who needs
to create endpoint references within an application, and then use these references
to target Web service resource instances. For example, a WSRF application
developer.
Procedure
- Create a Web service that is referenced by an endpoint reference,
and a client that accesses the Web service, using the instructions in Creating a Web service application that is referenced through a Web Services Addressing endpoint reference.
- Optional: You can extend the application that you created
in the previous step so that it conforms to the Web Services Resource Framework
(WSRF) specifications, by following the instructions in Creating stateful Web services using the Web Services Resource Framework.
