Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Technical Overview

SOAP Binding Service Components

The following sections contain information on some programming components of the SOAP Binding Service.

SOAPReceiver Servlet

The SOAPReceiver servlet receives a Message object from a WSC, verifies the signature, and constructs its own Message object for processing by OpenSSO Enterprise. The SOAPReceiver then invokes the correct request handler class to pass this second Message object on to the appropriate OpenSSO Enterprise service for a response. When the response is generated, the SOAPReceiver returns this Message object back to the WSC.

RequestHandler Interface

com.sun.identity.liberty.ws.soapbinding.RequestHandler is an interface that must be implemented on the server side by any Liberty-based web service using the SOAP Binding Service. For more information, see the Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Java API Reference and the Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Developer’s Guide.
