An outbound port represents a single port for a WSDL-defined service provider. It provides the configuration of invocation of the Web service.
To view this pane in the console, click the following path:
.
Requests and responses to an outbound service can be sent across any binding (for example SOAP over HTTP or SOAP over JMS) that is available to both the service integration bus and the external web service. Each available binding is represented by a port.
You can set the levels of security to be applied to messages. The security level can be set independently for request and response messages.
Because the service is hosted externally, you might also have to enable proxy server authentication to get permission to access the Internet.
The Configuration tab shows 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.

This defines which list of JAX-RPC handlers is to be invoked for this port.
You use JAX-RPC handlers to monitor activity at the port, and take appropriate action (for example logging, or re-routing) depending upon the sender and content of each message that passes through the port. If the external web service requires HTTP basic authentication, you can use a JAX-RPC handler list to provide an HTTP basic authentication header.
You configure the set of JAX-RPC handler lists by using the administrative console option .
