Working with endpoint listeners

An endpoint listener is the point (address) at which incoming SOAP messages for a Web service are received by a service integration bus. Each endpoint listener supports a particular binding. Endpoint listeners are supplied with WebSphere Application Server for the following bindings:

Two instances of each type of endpoint listener are supplied so that, for each listener type, you can set up separate endpoint listeners for inbound and outbound requests. For more information, see Endpoint listeners and inbound ports - entry points to the service integration bus.

You use the WebSphere Application Server administrative console to work with installed endpoint listeners. To work with an endpoint listener, complete the following steps:
  1. Install the endpoint listener application as described in SIBWS - Completing the installation.
  2. Configure the endpoint listener for the server or cluster to which you installed the endpoint listener application and (as part of the configuration process) connect the endpoint listener to one or more available service integration buses.
  3. On a service integration bus for which you have configured the endpoint listener, create a new inbound service configuration. As part of the configuration, connect the service to a new inbound port and associate the new port with the newly-configured endpoint listener.

To configure an endpoint listener for a server or cluster (step two in the previous list), choose one of the following actions:
