WS-Notification service points [Settings]

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.

To view this pane in the console, click one of the following paths:

  • Service integration > Web services > WS-Notification services > [Content Pane] service_name > WS-Notification service points > [Content Pane] point_name
  • Service integration > Buses > [Content Pane] bus_name > [Services] WS-Notification services > [Content Pane] service_name > WS-Notification service points > [Content Pane] point_name

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.

When you create a WS-Notification service point you select a bus member on which the WS-Notification service point is created. 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 HTTPS or SOAP over JMS) that is used for the WS-Notification service point.

The existence of a WS-Notification service point causes Web service endpoints for the notification broker, subscription manager and publisher registration manager for this WS-Notification service to be exposed on the server with which the service point is associated. WS-Notification applications use these endpoints to interact with the WS-Notification service.

Additional properties

Subscriptions
This collection lists the subscriptions that have been created on the associated bus member or members by WS-Notification applications. Use this panel to view the information about a subscription, such as the topic on which the subscription is registered and the time at which it is currently set to expire. You can also delete a subscription using the button provided.
Publisher registrations
The set of applications that are currently registered as publishers with the notification broker.
Pull points
