17.6. Web Services Routing Protocol (WS-Routing)
The SOAP Routing Protocol (WS-Routing) is a SOAP-based, stateless protocol for exchanging SOAP messages from an initial sender to an ultimate receiver, potentially via a set of intermediaries. The WS-Routing protocol is implemented as a SOAP extension, embedded in a SOAP Header entry.
The WS-Routing implementation consists of SOAP Header processing. The header processing handler for the WS-Routing header determines if the Virtuoso SOAP server can act as an intermediary or a endpoint depending on the rules in message path.
This implementation supports HTTP only. Message Id's generated are UUIDs.
17.6.1. Configuration
Setting-up the WS-Routing for a SOAP service requires you to:
-
make a virtual directory bound to the SOAP endpoint processor (/SOAP)
-
add the following SOAP options:
WS-RP=yes; wsrp-from=[identification for endpoint];
