Modify the configuration details for an existing inbound
service. For example: secure the service; apply JAX-RPC handler lists
to the ports for the service; publish the service to more than one
UDDI registry.
About this task
An inbound service is a Web interface to a service that
is provided internally (that is, a service provided by your own organization
and hosted in a location that is directly available through a service
integration bus destination).
When you first create an inbound
service, you connect the service to one or more endpoint listeners
and (optionally) specify the UDDI publication properties that are
used to publish the inbound service to an initial UDDI registry. An
inbound port is automatically created for each endpoint listener that
you select, but each inbound port is created without a template port,
JAX-RPC handler list or security settings. You need to modify your
inbound service configuration if you want to control and monitor access
to your inbound services in any of the following ways:
- Associate JAX-RPC handler lists with ports, so that the handlers
can monitor activity at the port, and take appropriate action depending
upon the sender and content of each message that passes through the
port.
- Password-protect a Web service operation.
- Set the level of security to be applied to messages (the WS-Security
configuration and bindings). The security level can be set independently
for request and response messages.
- Publish the service to more than one UDDI registry.
To list the existing inbound services, and to view and
modify their configuration details, complete the following steps:
