Message Exchange Patterns that Integration Server Supports

Integration Server 10.3 | Web Services Developer’s Guide | SOAP Message Exchange Patterns | Message Exchange Patterns that Integration Server Supports

Each operation of a web service uses a SOAP Message Exchange Pattern (MEP), which is a template that defines how the operation exchanges SOAP messages. Integration Server supports the following MEP types:

In-Out MEP, a request-response pattern where a consumer sends a request and expects a SOAP response from the provider.

In-Only MEP, a one-way message exchange where the consumer sends a request and expects no SOAP response from the provider.

Robust In-Only MEP, a reliable one-way message exchange where the consumer sends a request and expects no SOAP response from the provider if the operation is successful, but expects a SOAP fault if an exception occurs.

Note:
For consumers, Integration Server provides partial support for Robust In-Only for SOAP over JMS. For more information, see Consumer Support for Robust In-Only Operations with SOAP/JMS Bindings.
