SOAP Bindings

SOAP bindings serve as a gateway for inbound and outbound SOAP messages. SOAP bindings expose endpoints that accept requests from SOAP consumers and allow composites to invoke external SOAP providers.

SOAP bindings support the following features:
  • SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 specifications.
  • Encoding: Document-literal and RPC-literal
  • Message exchange patterns: one-way, request-response, and fault
  • Changing of endpoint URI for SOAP-HTTP reference from Administrator UI and command-line interface.
  • HTTP and JMS transport
  • SOAP headers
  • WS-Addressing
  • WS-Reliable Messaging
Note: If you change the order of operations in the WSDL interface of a service or reference you must recreate all SOAP bindings associated with the service or reference.
