You can add an additional Version 6.1 WS-Notification service point to an existing Version 6.1 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 6.1 WS-Notification service point you select a bus member on which the WS-Notification service point is configured. You allocate a service point to a given bus member by specifying an endpoint listener that is configured for that bus member. You also choose the type of web service binding (SOAP over HTTP or SOAP over JMS) that is used for the WS-Notification service point.
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.
Modify an existing WS-Notification service point. 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.
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).
