Outbound services collection

An outbound service represents a WSDL-described service.

Console path:

Service integration -> Buses -> bus_name -> [Services] Outbound Services.

Select the check boxes next to the names of the items to act on, then use the buttons provided.

An outbound service is a web service that is hosted externally, and is made available through a service integration bus. To configure an externally-hosted service for a bus, you first associate it with a service destination, then we configure one or more port destinations (one for each type of binding, for example SOAP over HTTP or SOAP over JMS) through which service requests and responses are passed to the external service.

You get the port definitions from the WSDL, but we can choose which ones we want to create.

Because the service is hosted externally, we might also have to enable proxy server authentication for each port to get permission to access the Internet.
