Configuring a service endpoint is necessary to connect Web service clients to any Web services among the components being assembled or to any external Web services.
You can specify HTTP URL prefixes for Web services accessed through HTTP by using Provide HTTP endpoint URL information panel in the administrative console. The HTTP URL prefixes provide location specific information and are used to form complete endpoint URLs that are included within published WSDL files.
To configure these prefixes with the administrative console:
Click Applications --> Enterprise Applications --> application_instance --> Provide HTTP endpoint URL information.
Specify the URL prefixes for the Web service.
In this step you specify the protocol (http or https), host_name and port_number to be used in the endpoint URL. You can select a prefix from a predefined list by selecting the default HTTP URL prefix or you can use a custom HTTP URL prefix.
Select Default HTTP URL prefix or Custom HTTP URL Prefix.
If you select the default HTTP URL prefix, a drop down list provides you with a list of endpoint URL prefixes. The list is a combination of the module's two sets of ports: the virtual host ports and the application server ports. Use a prefix from this list if the Web service's application server is accessed directly. Select a value and also select the check box of the modules that are to use the prefix.
If you want to use a custom HTTP URL prefix, type the value in the field. Select the check box of the modules that are to be used in the prefix.
Click Apply.
The URL prefix, whether default or custom, is copied to the selected module HTTP URL prefix field.
Click OK.
Configure any other URL endpoint information for JMS bindings and direct EJB access. Then, Publish Web Services Description Language files.
