HTTP Binding Component Features

Features of the HTTP/SOAP Binding Component include the following:

• Supports the WSDL 1.1, SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2 specifications and Basic Profile 1.1. Message exchanges to and from this binding component make use of the JBI WSDL 1.1 wrapper for the normalized message

• Supports JBI service unit deployments to define the web services to provide or consume

• Makes use of the WSDL extensibility (standard HTTP and SOAP extensions) to define external communication details for the web services to provision or consume

• Supports Binding Component to Binding Component Connection, which allows direct HTTP Binding Component to HTTP Binding Component connections within a composite application
