An endpoint listener receives requests from service requester applications within a specific application server or cluster.
To view this pane in the console, click the following path:
server_name listener_name.
An endpoint listener is the point (address) at which incoming SOAP messages for a Web service are received by a service integration bus. Each endpoint listener supports a particular binding. Use this panel to configure an endpoint listener for an application server and (as part of the configuration process) connect the endpoint listener to one or more available service integration buses.
The endpoint listeners that are supplied with WebSphere Application Server support SOAP over HTTP and SOAP over JMS bindings. If you are configuring an endpoint listener that is supplied with WebSphere Application Server, the required values are given in Endpoint listener configuration details.
Configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the runtime environment is stopped then restarted. See the information center task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the runtime environment.
The name of this endpoint listener.
If you are installing your own endpoint listener application, rather than one that is supplied with WebSphere Application Server, then this name must match the name given in the endpoint listener application that you have installed (that is, the display name of the endpoint module within the endpoint application EAR file).

The root of the URL that should be used to build the endpoint addresses within WSDL documents to direct requesters to this endpoint listener.
http://www.yourcompany.com/wsgwsoaphttp1
However, if you allow external clients to connect direct to your application server (for example because it is a stand-alone server or in a development or test environment) then specify the application server host name and port number.For example (for SOAP over HTTP endpoint listener 1):http://your.server.name:9080/wsgwsoaphttp1

WSDL serving HTTP URL root
The root of the Web address for the WSDL files of the inbound services that are available at this endpoint listener. This address comprises the root of the HTTP address at which external clients access your endpoint listener application, followed by /sibws.
http://www.yourcompany.com/sibwsHowever, if you allow external clients to connect direct to your application server (for example in a development or test environment) then this URL root includes the application server host name and port number. For example:
http://your.server.name:9080/sibws
