WSDL for WSDL First Providers and Consumers

Integration Server 10.3 | Web Services Developer’s Guide | SOAP Message Exchange Patterns | How Integration Server Determines the MEP Type to Use | WSDL for WSDL First Providers and Consumers

For WSDL first provider or consumer web service descriptors, Integration Server uses the original WSDL as is.

For a WSDL first provider web service descriptor, when the Pre-8.2 compatibility mode property is false, Integration Server uses a MEP type based on the WSDL. When Pre-8.2 compatibility mode property is true, Integration Server uses In-Out MEP regardless of whether the WSDL for an operation includes a <wsdl:output> element.

For a consumer web service descriptor, the Pre-8.2 compatibility mode property does dictate how a web service connector reacts to receiving unexpected SOAP responses. When the Pre-8.2 compatibility mode property is set to true, Integration Server is more tolerant of unexpected SOAP responses. For more information, see How <wsdl:output> and <wsdl:fault> Elements Affect a Consumer.

Note:
For consumer web service descriptors, 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.
