Creating an Endpoint Alias for Message Addressing for Use with JMS
A web service endpoint alias for message addressing for use with a web service descriptor that has a JMS binder specifies the addressing information relating to the delivery of a SOAP response to the receiver.
Keep the following points in mind when creating a web service endpoint alias for message addressing for use with a web service descriptor with a SOAP over JMS binding:
*A JMS message addressing web service endpoint alias can specify one of the following options to connect to a JMS provider:
*JNDI provider alias and a connection factory.
*JMS connection alias.
Only specify a JNDI provider alias and connection factory, or JMS connection alias, if information for connecting to the JMS provider was not included in the WSDL document used to create the consumer web service descriptor or if you want to overwrite the connection information included in the WSDL document.
Note:
Using a JMS connection alias to connect to the JMS provider might offer better performance. Keep in mind that a JMS connection alias can connect to the JMS provider by using JNDI to retrieve a connection factory and then establishing a connection or by connecting natively to the webMethods Broker.
*You can use the endpoint alias to provide information for the WS-Security header as determined by the security policy for the web service.
Note:
WS-Security credentials such as private keys and public keys do not always need to be provided in a message addressing web service endpoint alias. If this information is not provided in the alias, Integration Server can obtain the information from other locations. For more information about usage and resolution order of certificates and keys for WS-Security, see the Web Services Developer’s Guide.
*If you want to use the client side queue with the web service descriptor to which the alias is assigned, you must specify a JMS connection alias as the way to connect to the JMS provider.
Note:
You cannot delete a message addressing endpoint alias if a web service endpoint alias for provider web service descriptor is using the message addressing endpoint alias as a part of its response map.
*To create a message addressing web service endpoint alias for use with JMS
1. Open Integration Server Administrator if it is not already open.
2. In the Navigation panel, select Settings > Web Services.
3. Click Create Web Service Endpoint Alias.
4. Under Web Service Endpoint Alias Properties, provide the following information:
In this field
Specify
Alias
A name for the JMS message addressing web service endpoint alias.
The alias name cannot include the following illegal characters:
# ©\ & @ ^ ! % * : $ . / \ \ ` ; , ~ + = ) ( | } { ] [ > < "
Description
A description for the endpoint alias.
Type
Message Addressing
Transport Type
JMS
5. Under JMS Transport Properties, do the following if you want to connect to the JMS provider using a connection factory:
In this field
Specify
Connect Using
JNDI Properties
JNDI Provider Alias
The alias for the JNDI provider that Integration Server uses to look up administered objects. For information about creating a JNDI provider alias, see Creating a JNDI Provider Alias.
Connection Factory Name
The lookup name for the connection factory to use to create a connection to the JMS provider.
6. Under JMS Transport Properties, do the following if you want to connect to the JMS provider using a JMS connection alias:
In this field
Specify
Connect Using
JMS Connection Alias
JMS Connection Alias
The name of the JMS connection alias that you want Integration Server to use to connect to the JMS provider. For information about creating a JMS connection alias, see Creating a JMS Connection Alias.
7. Under WS Security Properties, specify the certificate file of the receiver of the SOAP response. This certificate is used to encrypt the outbound SOAP response.
In this field
Specify
Partner's Certificate
The path and file name of the certificate file of the receiver of the SOAP response, which contains its public key.
8. Under WS Security Properties, specify the following if the security policy (or policies) that will be used by this web service requires its responses to be signed, requires an X.509 authentication token to be included, or requires that SOAP message responses be encrypted.
In this field
Specify
Keystore Alias
Alias to the keystore that contains the private key used to:
*Sign outbound SOAP responses
*Include an X.509 authentication token for outbound SOAP responses
Important:
To verify response messages from this web service, the receiver must have the corresponding public key.
Key Alias
Alias to the private key used to sign and/or include X.509 authentication token for outbound SOAP messages. The key must be in the keystore specified in Keystore Alias.
9. Under WS Security Properties, configure how Integration Server handles timestamps in the security headers.
In this field
Specify
Timestamp Precision
Whether the timestamp is precise to the second or millisecond. If you set the precision to milliseconds, Integration Server uses the timestamp format yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss:SSS'Z'. If you set the precision to seconds, Integration Server uses the timestamp format yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'.
If you do not select a precision value, Integration Server will use the value specified for the watt.server.ws.security.timestampPrecisionInMilliseconds parameter.
Timestamp Time to Live
The time-to-live value for the outbound message in seconds. Integration Server uses the Timestamp Time to Live value to set the expiry time in the Timestamp element of outbound messages. The Timestamp Time to Live value must be an integer greater than 0.
If you do not specify a time-to-live value, Integration Server will use the value specified for the watt.server.ws.security.timestampTimeToLive parameter.
Timestamp Maximum Skew
The maximum number of seconds that the web services client and host clocks can differ and still allow timestamp expiry validation to succeed. Specify a positive integer or zero.
Integration Server uses the timestamp maximum skew value only when you implement WS-Security via a WS-Policy. Integration Server validates the inbound SOAP message only when the creation timestamp of the message is less than the sum of the timestamp maximum skew value and the current system clock time.
If you do not specify a timestamp maximum skew value, Integration Server will use the value specified for the watt.server.ws.security.timestampMaximumSkew parameter.
For more information about timestamps in the WS-Security header, see Timestamps in the WS-Security Header.
10. Under Message Addressing Properties, provide the following addressing information relating to the delivery of a response SOAP message to the receiver. The message addressing properties define the addressing information that can be attached to the SOAP message.
In this field
Specify
Must Understand
Whether the recipients (the actor or role to which the header is targeted) are required to process the WS-Addressing headers. Recipients that cannot process a mandatory WS-Addressing header reject the message and return a SOAP fault.
Must Understand determines the mustUnderstand attribute of the WS-Addressing headers.
Select
To
True
Indicate that processing the WS-Addressing headers is required by the recipients.
If you select True for Must Understand and the SOAP node receives a header that it does not understand or cannot process, it returns a fault.
False
Indicate that processing the WS-Addressing headers is optional. This is the default.
Note:
In SOAP 1.1, the values of the mustUnderstand attribute were 0 and 1 instead of True and False; however, Integration Server processes both sets of values the same way and performs any necessary conversions.
For more information about the mustUnderstand and actor attributes in SOAP 1.1, see the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) 1.1 - W3C Note 08 May 2000 .
For more information about the mustUnderstand and role attributes in SOAP 1.2, see the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) 1.2 specification.
Role
Target of the WS-Addressing headers in the SOAP message. Role determines the value of the role attribute for the WS-Addressing headers. The actor or role attribute specifies a URI for the recipient of WS-Addressing header entries.
Note:
In SOAP 1.1, the role attribute is named actor; however, Integration Server processes both names the same and performs any necessary conversions.
Select
To
Ultimate Receiver
Indicate that the recipient is the ultimate destination of the SOAP message. This is the default.
Next
Specify the following URI for the role attribute:
*For SOAP 1.2: "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope/role/next"
*For SOAP 1.1: "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next"
None
Specify the following URI for the role attribute:
*For SOAP 1.2: "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope/role/none"
*For SOAP 1.1: "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope/role/none"
Other
Specify the target of the header. Typically, this will be a URI.
From
URI of the source of the SOAP response.
In the Reference Parameters field, specify additional parameters, if any, that correspond to <wsa:ReferenceParameters> properties of the endpoint reference. Optionally, you can specify metadata (such as WSDL or WS-Policy) about the service in the Metadata Elements field. You can also specify Extensible Elements, which are elements other than those specified as part of the Metadata and Reference Parameters. You can specify more than one reference parameter, metadata element, or extensible element. Click the ‘+’ icon to add more rows and the ‘x’ icon to delete the rows.
ReplyTo
URI to which the response (reply) messages are to be routed. This property is optional.
If this value is not specified, the default values for this URI depends on the WS-Addressing policy attached to the web service descriptor.
*For the Final version of WS-Addressing, ReplyTo defaults to http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/anonymous.
*For the Submission version of WS-Addressing, ReplyTo defaults to http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing/role/anonymous.
In the Reference Parameters field, specify additional parameters, if any, that correspond to <wsa:ReferenceParameters> properties of the endpoint reference to which the response message is addressed. Optionally, you can specify metadata (such as WSDL or WS-Policy) about the service in the Metadata Elements field. You can also specify Extensible Elements, which are elements other than those specified as part of the Metadata and Reference Parameters.
You can specify more than one reference parameter, metadata element, or extensible element. Click the ‘+’ icon to add more rows and the ‘x’ icon to delete the rows.
FaultTo
URI to which the SOAP fault messages are to be routed. This property is optional.
In the Reference Parameters field, specify additional parameters, if any, that correspond to <wsa:ReferenceParameters> properties of the endpoint reference to which the fault message is addressed. Optionally, you can specify metadata (such as WSDL or WS-Policy) about the service in the Metadata Elements field. You can also specify Extensible Elements, which are elements other than those specified as part of the Metadata and Reference Parameters. You can specify more than one reference parameter, metadata element, or extensible element. Click the ‘+’ icon to add more rows and the ‘x’ icon to delete the rows.
