An Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) endpoint URL is used to access
a web service with the EJB Remote Method Invocation over Internet
Inter-ORB Protocol (RMI-IIOP) transport. The URL specifies the EJB
endpoint, including the EJB home class, the EJB Java Naming
and Directory Interface (JNDI) name, and optional properties.
Important: IBM® WebSphere® Application Server supports the Java API for XML-Based Web Services (JAX-WS)
programming model and the Java API
for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) programming model. JAX-WS is the next
generation web services programming model extending the foundation
provided by the JAX-RPC programming model. Using the strategic JAX-WS
programming model, development of web services and clients is simplified
through support of a standards-based annotations model. Although
the JAX-RPC programming model and applications are still supported,
take advantage of the easy-to-implement JAX-WS programming model to
develop new web services applications and clients.
An EJB endpoint URL has the following format:
wsejb:/[classname]?<property>=<value>&<property>=<value>&...
Where:
- wsejb is the transport type
- classname is the name of the home interface class associated
with the EJB to be invoked
- property and value pairs represent the set of required
and optional properties. These properties are used to set certain
values in the EJB endpoint URL. The various properties and definitions
are described in the table.
JNDI-related properties

to specify the JNDI information for the EJB endpoint URL.
