WS-Notification terminology
There is terminology that you must be aware of when working with WS-Notification. Most of this terminology is defined by the WS-Notification standards, and a few terms are defined to describe this implementation of WS-Notification for WebSphere® Application Server.
This topic and its subtopics describe the terminology
that you must be aware of when working with WS-Notification in WebSphere Application Server:
- Terminology from the WS-Notification standards describes terms that are defined by the WS-Notification standards, and relates to the standardized concepts used by WS-Notification.
- WebSphere Application Server-specific WS-Notification terminology describes terms and concepts that have been defined to describe this implementation of WS-Notification for WebSphere Application Server.
Note: The
WS-Notification standards define a TopicNamespace as
a grouping of topic trees for administrative purposes. Service integration
technologies defines a similar term topic space as a
destination used for publish and subscribe messaging. Although these
concepts are similar, they are not identical. For example it is possible
for there to be a 1-1 relationship between a WS-Notification topic
namespace and a service integration bus topic space, but in many situations
this is not the case. For more information, see Options for associating a permanent topic namespace with a bus topic space.
