You can add an additional Version 7.0 WS-Notification service point to an existing Version 7.0 WS-Notification service. A WS-Notification service point defines access to a WS-Notification service on a given bus member through a specified Web service binding (for example SOAP over HTTP). Applications use the bus members associated with the WS-Notification service point to connect to the WS-Notification service. The existence of a WS-Notification service point on a bus member implies that a WS-Notification web service is exposed from that bus member, and causes web service endpoints for the notification broker, subscription manager and publisher registration manager for this WS-Notification service to be exposed on the bus member with which the service point is associated. WS-Notification applications use these endpoints to interact with the WS-Notification service.
You can define any number of WS-Notification service points for a given WS-Notification service. Each service point defined for the same WS-Notification service represents an alternative entry point to the service. Event notifications published to a particular WS-Notification service point are received by all applications connected to any service point of the same WS-Notification service (subject to subscription on the correct topic) regardless of the particular service point to which they are connected. For more information, see Reasons to create multiple WS-Notification service points.
When you create a Version 7.0 WS-Notification service point you select a bus member on which the WS-Notification service point is configured. You also choose the SOAP version that is supported by the service point, and (optionally) apply JAX-WS handler lists to the NotificationBroker, SubscriptionManager or PublisherRegistrationManager that are exposed through this service point.
To undertake advanced configuration tasks for this WS-Notification service point (for example, adding administered subscribers, publishing WSDL files to a .zip file, and configuring the enterprise application associated with this service point), see Modifying a Version 7.0 WS-Notification service point.
To configure this WS-Notification service point with web service qualities of service (QoS) such as reliability or security, see Configuring a Version 7.0 WS-Notification service with Web service QoS.
You can also use the administrative console to work with runtime information for service points. For more information, see Interacting at run time with WS-Notification.
Modify the description, SOAP Version, and JAX-WS handler list properties of a Version 7.0 WS-Notification service point, and follow links to complete advanced configuration such as modifying the administered subscribers, applying policy sets to enable WS-ReliableMessaging, publishing the WSDL files to .zip files, and configuring the enterprise application that is associated with this service point.
Delete one or more WS-Notification service points and the associated resources (Version 7.0 service point provider applications, or Version 6.1 inbound services and endpoint listeners).
