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.
When the request message's
Accept-Encoding
header is
gzip,deflate
, the SOAP Binding can also respond with a compressed response message.
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 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.
