Multiple Endpoints
In an SOA environment, the tracking and management of service endpoints is a key task. Not only is your SOA environment likely have many individual services, but many of those services will be deployed on multiple endpoints.
In general, a service will have multiple endpoints for the following reasons:
*It acquires additional endpoints as it moves through its lifecycle. For example, by the time a service goes into production, it is usually available at three different endpoints in your environment: at a development endpoint, at a test endpoint and at a production endpoint. To track the endpoints that a service acquires as it moves through its development cycle, you add the endpoints to the metadata for the service in the registry.
*It has different endpoints to accommodate the needs of different consumer applications. For example, you might offer the same service over multiple entry protocols (for example, both JMS and HTTP) and/or with different security mechanisms. In CentraSite, you accommodate these needs by exposing the service over multiple virtual services.
