Interoperating with Web Services Addressing endpoints that do not support the default specification supported by WebSphere Application Server

A target Web service endpoint might not support the same Web Services Addressing (WS-Addressing) namespace as WebSphere Application Server. In most cases, you do not need to perform any extra actions to interoperate with such endpoints, however some scenarios require additional steps in the implementation of your Web service.

About this task

WebSphere Application Server supports the default WS-Addressing 2005/08 namespace: http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing. Perform this task when you want to interoperate with endpoints that support other namespaces. This task specifically describes interoperation with endpoints that are hosted on a node that supports only the 2004/08 namespace: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing).

If you are sending or receiving messages to or from an endpoint that supports only the 2004/08 namespace, you do not have to perform any additional steps for interoperability. WebSphere Application Server recognizes and understands incoming WS-Addressing messages that conform to the 2004/08 specification, and outbound messages automatically adhere to the namespace of their destination endpoint reference. If you are sending a request, all WS-Addressing elements, such as reply endpoint or fault endpoint elements, must use the same namespace as the message. Any discrepancy results in a JAX-RPC configuration error.

If you are interacting in a different way with an endpoint that supports only the 2004/08 namespace, such as exporting endpoint references in the message header or body, you must perform additional steps as detailed below.
