WebLogic Web Service Deployment Descriptor Elements
The web-services.xml deployment descriptor file contains information that describes one or more WebLogic Web Services. This information includes details about the backend components that implement the operations of a Web Service, the non-built-in data types used as parameters and return values, the SOAP message handlers that intercept SOAP messages, and so on. As is true for all deployment descriptors, web-services.xml is an XML file.
The following sections describe the web-services.xml file using different formats:
Graphical Representation
The following graphic describes the web-services.xml element hierarchy.
Element Reference
The following sectins, arranged alphabetically, describe each element in the web-services.xml file.
See Sample web-services.xml Files for sample Web Services deployment descriptor files for a variety of different types of WebLogic Web Services.
components
Defines the backend components that implement the Web Service.
A WebLogic Web Service can be implemented using one or more of the following components:
- Stateless session EJB
- JMS destination
- A Java class

The value of this attribute corresponds to the name attribute of the appropriate <component> element.
|
String
|
No
|
method
|
Name of the method of the EJB or Java class that implements the operation if you specify with the component attribute that the operation is implemented with a stateless session EJB or Java class.
You can specify all the methods with the asterisk (*) character.
If your EJB or Java class does not overload the method, you need only specify the name of the method, such as:
method="sell"
If, however, the EJB or Java class overloads the method, then specify the full signature, such as:
method="sell(int)"
|
String
|
No
|
handler-chain
|
Name of the SOAP message handler chain that implements the operation.
The value of this attribute corresponds to the name attribute of the appropriate <handler-chain> element.
|
String
|
No
|
invocation-style
|
Specifies whether the operation both receives a SOAP request and sends a SOAP response, or whether the operation only receives a SOAP request but does not send back a SOAP response.
This attribute accepts only two values: request-response (default value) or one-way.
Note: If the backend component that implements this operation is a method of a stateless session EJB or Java class and you set this attribute to one-way, the method must return void
|
String
|
No
|
portTypeName
|
Port type in the WSDL file to which this operation belongs. You can include this operation in multiple port types by specifying a comma-separated list of port types. When the WSDL for this Web Service is generated, a separate <portType> element is created for each specified port type.

Datatype
|
Required?
|
name
|
Name of the input parameter that will be used in the generated WSDL.
If you do not specify this attribute, the parameter names are based on the data type of the parameter, such as intvalue1, intvalue2, traderesult, and so on.
|
String
|
No.
|
location
|
Part of the request SOAP message (either the header, the body, or the attachment) that contains the value of the input parameter.
Valid values for this attribute are Body, Header, or attachment. The default value is Body.
If you specify Body, the value of the parameter is extracted from the SOAP Body, according to regular SOAP rules for RPC operation invocation. If you specify Header, the value is extracted from a SOAP Header element whose name is the value of the type attribute.
If you specify attachment, the value of the parameter is extracted from the SOAP Attachment rather than the SOAP envelope. As specified by the JAX-RPC specification, only the following Java data types can be extracted from the SOAP Attachment:
|
String
|
No.
|
style
|
Style of the input parameter, either a standard input parameter, an out parameter used as a return value, or an in-out parameter for both inputting and outputting values.
Valid values for this attribute are in, out, and in-out.
If you specify a parameter as out or in-out, the Java class of the parameter in the backend component's method must implement the javax.xml.rpc.holders.Holder interface.
|
String
|
Yes.
|
type
|
XML Schema data type of the parameter.
|
NMTOKEN
|
Yes.
|
class-name
|
Java class name of the Java representation of the data type of the parameter.
If you do not specify this attribute, WebLogic Server introspects the backend component that implements the operation for the Java class of the parameter.
You are required to specify this attribute only if you want the mapping between the XML and Java representations of the parameter to be different than the default. For example, xsd:int maps to the Java primitive int type by default, so use this attribute to map it to java.lang.Integer instead.
|
NMTOKEN
|
Maybe. See the description of the attribute.
|
params
The <params> element groups together the explicitly declared parameters and return values of an operation.
You do not have to explicitly list the parameters or return values of an operation. If an <operation> element does not have a <params> child element, WebLogic Server introspects the backend component that implements the operation to determine its parameters and return values. When generating the WSDL file of the Web Service, WebLogic Server uses the names of the corresponding method's parameters and return value.
You explicitly list an operation's parameters and return values when you want:
- The name of the parameters and return values in the generated WSDL to be different from those of the method that implements the operation.
- To map a parameter to a name in the SOAP header request or response.
- To use out or in-out parameters.
Use the <param> child element to specify the parameters of the operation.
Use the <return-param> child element to specify the return value of the operation.
The <params> element does not have any attributes.
password
Depending on the parent element, the <password> element specifies:
- The password used in the username token in the SOAP response message. (Parent element is <user>.)
- The password of the key and certificate pair, stored in WebLogic Server's keystore, used to encrypt part of the SOAP message. (Parent element is <encryptionKey>.)
- The password of the key and certificate pair, stored in WebLogic Server's keystore, used to digitally sign part of the SOAP message. (Parent element is <signatureKey>.)
This element does not have any attributes.
reliable-delivery
The <reliable-delivery> element specifies that the operation can be invoked asynchronously using reliable messaging. This means that the application that invokes the Web Service has a guaranteed that the SOAP message was delivered to the Web Service operation, or it receives an explicit exception saying that the delivery did not happen.
You can specify only one <reliable-delivery> element for a given operation.
Attribute
|
Description
|
Datatype
|
Required?
|
duplicate-elimination
|
Specifies whether the WebLogic Web Service should ignore duplicate invokes from the same client application.
If this attribute is set to True, the Web Service persists the message IDs from client applications that invoke the Web Service so that it can eliminate any duplicate invokes. If this values is set to False, the Web Service does not keep track of duplicate invokes, which means that if a client retries an invoke, both invokes could return values.
Valid values for this attribute are True and False. The default value is True.
|
Boolean
|
No.
|
persist-duration
|
The default minimum number of seconds that the Web Service should persist the history of a reliable SOAP message (received from the sender that invoked the Web Service) in its storage.
The Web Service, after recovering from a WebLogic Server crash, does not dispatch persisted messages that have expired.
The default value of this attribute is 60,000.

No.
|
location
|
Part of the response SOAP message (either the header or the body) that contains the value of the return parameter.
Valid values for this attribute are Body or Header. The default value is Body.
If you specify Body, the value of the return parameter will be added to the SOAP Body. If you specify Header, the value will added as a SOAP Header element whose name is the value of the type attribute.
|
String
|
No.
|
type
|
XML Schema data type of the return parameter.
|
NMTOKEN
|
Yes.
|
class-name
|
Java class name of the Java representation of the data type of the return parameter.
If you do not specify this attribute, WebLogic Server introspects the backend component that implements the operation for the Java class of the return parameter.
You are required to specify this attribute if:

- A binary security token that specify non-XML-based security tokens, such as X.509 certificates. (<spec:BinarySecurityTokenSpec> child element)
- A specification for the parts of the SOAP message that are digitally signed. (<spec:SignatureSpec> child element)
- A specification of the parts of the SOAP message that are encrypted. (<spec:EncryptionSpec> child element.)
The information in the <spec:SecuritySpec> element appears in the generated WSDL of the Web Service so that client applications that invoke the Web Service know how to create the SOAP request to comply with all the security specifications.
WebLogic Server also uses the information in this element to verify that a SOAP request to invoke a particular Web Service contains all the necessary security information in the header. For example, if the <spec:SecuritySpec> element requires that a portion of the SOAP message be digitally signed, then WebLogic Server knows to check for this when it receives the SOAP request. WebLogic Server then uses the same information to create the security information in the SOAP response message.
Note: You must include the following namespace declaration with this element:
xmlns:spec="http://www.openuri.org/2002/11/wsse/spec"
and all child elements of the <spec:SecuritySpec> element must be qualified with the spec namespace.

|
Yes.
|
uri
|
URI of the Web Service, used subsequently in the URL that invokes the Web Service.
Note: Be sure to specify the leading "/", such as /TraderService.
|
String
|
Yes.
|
protocol
|
Protocol over which the service is invoked.
Valid values are http or https. Default is http.
|
String
|
No.
|
style
|
Specifies whether the Web Service has RPC-oriented or document-oriented operations.
RPC-oriented WebLogic Web Service operations use SOAP encoding. Document-oriented WebLogic Web Service operations use literal encoding.
Valid values are rpc and document. Default value is rpc.
Warning: If you specify document for this attribute, all the methods that implement the operations of the Web Service must have only one parameter.
Note: Because the style attribute applies to an entire Web Service, all operations specified in a single <web-service> element must be either RPC-oriented or documented-oriented; WebLogic Server does not support mixing the two styles within the same Web Service.
|
String
|
No.
|
jmsUri
|
Specifies that client applications can use the JMS transport to invoke the Web Service, in addition to the default HTTP/S transport. The form of this attribute is:
connection_factory_name/queue_name
where connection_factory_name is the JNDI name of the JMS connection factory and queue_name is the JNDI name of the JMS queue that you have configured for the JMS transport. For example:
jmsURI="JMSTransFactory/JMSTransQueue"
If this attribute is set, the generated WSDL of the Web Service contains an additional port that uses a JMS binding. The clientgen Ant task, when generating the stubs used to invoke this Web Service, generates a getServicePortJMS() method, in addition to the default getServicePort() method, used for JMS and HTTP/S respectively.
Note: If you specify the jmsUri attribute and plan to always use the JMS transport in your client applications when invoking the Web Service, every operation of the Web Service must be one-way. This means that every <operation> child element of this <web-service> must specify the invocation-style="one-way" attribute.
|
String.
|
No.
|
portName
|
Name of the <port> child element of the <service> element of the dynamically generated WSDL of this Web Service.
The default value is the name attribute of this element with Port appended. For example, if the name of this Web Service is TraderService, the port name will be TraderServicePort.
|
String
|
No
|
portTypeName
|
Name of the default <portType> element in the dynamically generated WSDL of this Web Service.
The default value is the name attribute of this element with Port appended. For example, if the name of this Web Service is TraderService, the portType name will be TraderServicePort.
|
String
|
No.
|
useSoap12
|
Specifies whether to use SOAP 1.2 as the message format protocol. By default, WebLogic Web Services use SOAP 1.1.
If you specify useSoap12="True", the generated WSDL of the deployed WebLogic Web Service includes two ports: the standard port that specifies a binding for SOAP 1.1 as the message format protocol, and a second port that uses SOAP 1.2. Client applications, when invoking the Web Service, can use the second port if they want to use SOAP 1.2 as their message format protocol.
Valid values for this attribute are True and False. The default value is False.
|
Boolean
|
No.
|
web-services
The root element of the web-services.xml deployment descriptor.
This element does not have any attributes.
