There are three ways of specifying an HTTP endpoint’s address depending on the payload format you are using.
SOAP 1.1 uses the standardized
soap:addresselement.SOAP 1.2 uses the
soap12:addresselement.All other payload formats use the
http:address element.
When you are sending SOAP 1.1 messages over HTTP you must use the SOAP 1.1 address element to specify the endpoint’s address. It has one attribute, location, that specifies the endpoint’s address as a URL. The SOAP 1.1 address element is defined in the namespace http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/.
Example 8.1 shows a port element used to send SOAP 1.1 messages over HTTP.
Example 8.1. SOAP 1.1 Port Element
<definitions ... xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" ...> ... <service name="SOAP11Service"> <port binding="SOAP11Binding" name="SOAP11Port"> <soap:address location="http://artie.com/index.xml"> </port> </service> ... <definitions>
When you are sending SOAP 1.2 messages over HTTP you must use the SOAP 1.2 address element to specify the endpoint’s address. It has one attribute, location, that specifies the endpoint’s address as a URL. The SOAP 1.2 address element is defined in the namespace http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap12/.
Example 8.2 shows a port element used to send SOAP 1.2 messages over HTTP.
Example 8.2. SOAP 1.2 Port Element
<definitions ... xmlns:soap12="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap12/" ... > <service name="SOAP12Service"> <port binding="SOAP12Binding" name="SOAP12Port"> <soap12:address location="http://artie.com/index.xml"> </port> </service> ... </definitions>
When your messages are mapped to any payload format other than SOAP you must use the HTTP address element to specify the endpoint’s address. It has one attribute, location, that specifies the endpoint’s address as a URL. The HTTP address element is defined in the namespace http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/http/.
Example 8.3 shows a port element used to send an XML message.
Example 8.3. HTTP Port Element
<definitions ... xmlns:http="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/http/" ... > <service name="HTTPService"> <port binding="HTTPBinding" name="HTTPPort"> <http:address location="http://artie.com/index.xml"> </port> </service> ... </definitions>
