Java EE Service Engine as a Service Provider

The Java EE Service Engine functions as a service provider by enabling an endpoint in the NMR. When a Java EE web service is deployed, the deployment runtime of application server notifies the Java EE Service Engine so that an endpoint is enabled in the NMR of the JBI runtime. The notification enables any component deployed in the NMR to access the Java EE web service. For example, a BPEL application running inside the BPEL service engine can access the Java EE web service by sending a normalized message to the endpoint enabled by the Java EE Service Engine. This way of accessing Java EE web services is an alternative to the normal web service client access defined by JAX-WS.
