Modifying an existing endpoint listener configuration

Modify the configuration details for an endpoint listener that has been configured for use with inbound services.

To list the endpoint listeners, and to view and modify their configuration details, complete the following steps:
  1. Start the administrative console.
  2. In the navigation pane, click one of the paths shown in the table Paths to this panel.
    Paths to this panel

    Servers > Application servers > [Content Pane] server_name > Endpoint listeners
    Servers > Clusters > [Content Pane] cluster_name > Endpoint listeners

    A list of endpoint listeners is displayed in an endpoint listener collection form.
  3. Click the name of an endpoint listener in the list. The current endpoint listener settings for this endpoint listener are displayed.
  4. Modify the following general properties. If you are configuring an endpoint listener that is supplied with WebSphere Application Server, the required values are given in Endpoint listener configuration details.
    Name
    Modify the name by which the endpoint listener is known. This name must match the name of the endpoint listener application that you have installed. For example, for SOAP over HTTP endpoint listener 1 the listener application is soaphttpchannel1.ear and the endpoint listener name is SOAPHTTPChannel1.
    Note: When you change an endpoint listener name, the system looks up all objects that refer to it and updates the name.
    Description
    Modify the (optional) description of the endpoint listener.
    URL Root
    Modify the address at which external clients access the endpoint listener endpoint. The URL root is the context root of the endpoint enterprise application, and provides the root of the Web address that is used to build the endpoint addresses within WSDL files to direct requesters to this endpoint listener.
    If external clients access the endpoint listener through an HTTP server or server cluster, using default port 80, then specify the HTTP server name and no port number. For example (for SOAP over HTTP endpoint listener 1):
    http://www.yourcompany.com/wsgwsoaphttp1
    However, if you allow external clients to connect direct to your application server (for example in a development or test environment) then specify the application server host name and port number. For example (for SOAP over HTTP endpoint listener 1):
    http://yourhost:9045/wsgwsoaphttp1
    WSDL serving HTTP URL root
    Each inbound service is described in a WSDL document. Modify the root of the Web address for the WSDL files of the inbound services that are available at this endpoint listener. The WSDL serving HTTP URL root is used by the HTTP and JMS endpoint listeners, and also by UDDI registries, to retrieve the WSDL for your inbound services. This URL comprises the root of the HTTP address at which external clients access your endpoint listener application, followed by /sibws/wsdl. For example:
    http://www.yourcompany.com/sibws/wsdl
    or
    http://yourhost:9045/sibws/wsdl
  5. Under the additional properties heading, click Connection properties. A list of all the service integration buses that are currently connected to this endpoint listener is displayed in a service integration bus connection properties collection form.
  6. Add, amend or delete buses in the list of currently-connected buses. For more information about connecting an endpoint listener to a service integration bus, see Creating a new endpoint listener configuration.
  7. Apply the changes.
If the processing completes successfully, the list of service integration buses that are connected to this endpoint listener is updated, and the list of endpoint listeners is redisplayed. Otherwise, an error message is displayed.
