Web Services Access Modes

The URL using which the web service request is sent to is called an endpoint address. It allows the server to invoke the intended operation. The way in which a server finds the service and the operation to be invoked is called dispatching.

TIBCO MDM supports the following two different ways to resolve a service:

  • End point dispatching — Append the operation name to the service URL. For example, in the service URL (http://host:port/eml/services/router), append the operation name (RouteAction). The endpoint URL should be http://host:port/eml/services/router/RouteAction.
  • SOAP action dispatching — Use the endpoint URL of a service to address the service. Use the SOAP Action for identifying an operation.
  • End point dispatching — Append the operation name to the service URL. For example, in the service URL (https://<server_base>/<environment_id>/eml/services/router), append the operation name (RouteAction). The endpoint URL should be https://<server_base>/<environment_id>/eml/services/router/RouteAction.
  • SOAP action dispatching — Use the endpoint URL of a service to address the service. Use the SOAP Action for identifying an operation.

This release of TIBCO MDM supports SOAP actions from version 2.0 of the schema.
