Disabling Web Services Addressing support

The Web Services Addressing (WS-Addressing) support provides mechanisms to address web services and provide addressing information in messages. WS-Addressing support is disabled by default on clients. The method for disabling WS-Addressing support on servers depends on whether your application is based on JAX-RPC or JAX-WS.

About this task

You do not have to disable WS-Addressing support even if your application does not require it, because in most cases WS-Addressing support does not have a negative impact on the running of applications. For JAX-RPC applications, disabling WS-Addressing support can be risky as this action also disables support for other specifications such as Web Services Atomic Transactions.

Procedure

Results

By completing this task, you disabled the WS-Addressing support. Disabling WS-Addressing on clients prevents WebSphere® Application Server sending WS-Addressing message addressing properties in the SOAP header of outbound web service messages. Disabling WS-Addressing on servers additionally prevents WebSphere Application Server processing WS-Addressing MAPs in incoming SOAP headers.
