WS-Addressing

Introduction

Web Services Addressing (WS-Addressing) implementation is basically a Soap Handler which interacts with soap messages to put and get information to and from the xml soap headers.

WS-Addressing provides following features

1. Enables messaging systems to support message transmission through networks that include processing nodes such as endpoint managers, firewalls, and gateways in a transport-neutral manner

2. Allows session management over the network which uses heterogeneous transport protocols in different nodes.

3. Provides facilities for asynchronous communication

4. Provides facilities for B2B communication
