A web services gateway allows you to configure specific endpoint listeners and deploy gateway and proxy services to those listeners.
The gateway provides you with a single point of control, access and validation of Web service requests, and allows you to control which Web services are available to different groups of Web service users. It also allows you to map multiple target services to a single gateway service, and to configure proxy services.
You create Web services gateway instances to partition the total set of gateway and proxy services into logical groups to allow simpler management. Note that destinations are already partitioned by the service integration bus, so each gateway instance is limited to gateway and proxy services within the same bus. However, gateway services can then map to target services that are available on other buses.
Configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the run-time environment is stopped then restarted. Changing these property values typically has no effect until the run-time environment is restarted; for example, by stopping then restarting an application server. See the information center task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the run-time environment.

The URL of the default proxy WSDL description for use with proxy services.
A proxy service has no target services and therefore no WSDL that the gateway can use to configure the service invocation. A generic template WSDL file is used to configure the basic parameters for the invocation call.
http://host_name:port_number/sibws/proxywsdl/ProxyServiceTemplate.wsdlwhere host_name and port_number are the host name and port number for this application server. For example
http://your.server.name:4080/sibws/proxywsdl/ProxyServiceTemplate.wsdlAlternatively, you can supply the URL for your own equivalent template.
