Features Impacted by Compatibility Mode
Integration Server version 8.2 introduces support for web service features, such as SOAP over JMS, and WS-Policy based WS-Security configuration, that are available through the current Web Services Stack. Some of the features and behavior included in the current Web Services Stack are not compatible with the features and run-time behavior of web service descriptors created on the earlier implementation of web services. The earlier web services implementation was introduced in Integration Server version 7.1 and was the only web services implementation available in 7.x, 8.0, and 8.0 SP1. The earlier web services implementation still exists in the current version of Integration Server along with the current Web Services Stack.
Note:
The earlier web services implementation, specifically the implementation introduced in Integration Server version 7.1, is deprecated as of Integration Server 10.4.
To ensure that web service descriptors developed on the earlier web services implementation execute as expected, web service descriptors now have a Pre-8.2 compatibility mode property. This property determines the web service implementation on which the web service descriptor runs. The web service implementation used by the web service descriptor determines the design-time features and run-time behavior for the web service descriptor. The value of the Pre-8.2 compatibility mode property indicates the web service implementation with which the web service descriptor is compatible:
*When the Pre-8.2 compatibility mode property is set to true, the web service descriptor runs on the earlier implementation of web services, specifically the implementation introduced in Integration Server version 7.1. Web service descriptors running in pre-8.2 compatibility mode have the same design-time features and run-time behavior as web service descriptors run in versions of Integration Server prior to version 8.2.
*When the Pre-8.2 compatibility mode property is set to false, the web service descriptor runs on the current implementation of web services, specifically the Web Services Stack. Web service descriptors that do not run in pre-8.2 compatibility mode have the design-time features and run-time behavior available in the current version of the Web Services Stack.
Note:
You can use Designer 8.2 or later with an Integration Server 8.2 or later to create and edit a web service descriptor regardless of the compatibility mode.
Note:
The Pre-8.2 compatibility mode property and the ability to run in pre-8.2 compatibility mode are deprecated as of Integration Server 10.4 due to the deprecation of the earlier web services implementation that was introduced in Integration Server version 7.1.
