Behavior for Inbound Messages
The following table describes how Integration Server handles provider inbound request messages and consumer inbound response messages based on the setting of the wsdl:required attribute of the wsaw:UsingAddressing assertion in the attached policy and whether the inbound message includes WS-Addressing headers.
wsdl:required attribute is set to...
The inbound message...
Integration Server...
true
Contains WS-Addressing headers
Processes the WS-Addressing headers in the inbound message, extracting the addressing information from the header to use for later processing.
For an inbound request message, the provider expects:
*Optionally, the wsa:To header for the destination address.
*The wsa:Action header to determine the web service operation to execute.
*The wsa:MessageID header for a unique identifier for the message. Integration Server only requires this header when In-Out MEP or Robust In-Only MEP is in use.
Does not contain WS-Addressing headers
Returns a fault message.
false
Contains WS-Addressing headers
Honors the WS-Addressing headers in the inbound message and behaves as it does when the wsdl:required attribute is set to true. For more information, see the description above for when wsdl:required attribute is set to true and the inbound message contains WS-Addressing headers.
Does not contain WS-Addressing headers
Processes the inbound request without using WS-Addressing.
