The Web Services Addressing (WS-Addressing) support in WebSphere Application Server can interoperate with various versions of the WS-Addressing specification.
Associated namespace | Specification download location | Details |
---|---|---|
http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing | http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/addr/ | W3C Candidate Recommendation (CR) versions of
the WS-Addressing core and SOAP specifications. These specifications are sometimes referred to collectively as the 2005/08 version of WS-Addressing. |
http://www.w3.org/2006/05/addressing/wsdl | http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/addr/ | W3C Candidate Recommendation (CR) version of
the WS-Addressing WSDL specification. This is the default namespace used by WebSphere Application Server for the WSDL parts of the WS-Addressing specification, if you have fix pack V6.1.0.2 or later. |
http://www.w3.org/2006/02/addressing/wsdl | http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/addr/ | W3C Last Call (LC) version of the WS-Addressing
WSDL specification. This is the default namespace used by WebSphere Application Server for the WSDL parts of the WS-Addressing specification, if you do not have fix pack V6.1.0.2 or later. |
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing | http://www.w3.org/Submission/ws-addressing/ | W3C WS-A Submission This specification is sometimes referred to as the 2004/08 specification. It combines the core, SOAP and WSDL aspects of WS-Addressing in a single specification. |
The WS-Addressing namespace of incoming Web service messages is the namespace of the first WS-Addressing action message addressing property that is found. The WebSphere Application Server runtime looks for an action message addressing property of the default namespace prior to searching for other namespaces on the inbound message, in an undefined order. The namespace of the WS-Addressing core specification in use is available to the target endpoint through the message context.
WS-Addressing messages that are issued from this version of WebSphere Application Server adopt the namespace that is associated with the destination endpoint reference. If this namespace is unknown, the message adopts the default WS-Addressing namespace.
WebSphere Application Server provides a system programming interface (SPI) to change the namespace that is associated with an endpoint reference to any namespace in the supported set.
