Endpoint listeners [Settings]
An endpoint listener receives requests from service requester applications within a specific application server or cluster.

An endpoint listener is the point (address) at which incoming SOAP messages for a web service are received by a service integration bus. Each endpoint listener supports a particular binding. Use this panel to configure an endpoint listener for an application server and, as part of the configuration process, connect the endpoint listener to one or more available service integration buses.
The endpoint listeners that you can create with WebSphere® Application Server support SOAP over HTTP and SOAP over JMS bindings. Example values for these endpoint listeners are given in Example values for endpoint listener configuration.
Configuration tab
The Configuration tab shows configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the runtime environment is stopped then restarted. See the task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the runtime environment.
General Properties
Name
The name of this endpoint listener.
If you are installing your own endpoint listener application, rather than one that is supplied with WebSphere Application Server, then this name must match the name given in the endpoint listener application that you have installed (that is, the display name of the endpoint module within the endpoint application EAR file).

URL root
The root of the URL that should be used to build the endpoint addresses within WSDL documents to direct requesters to this endpoint listener.
The address at which external clients access the endpoint listener endpoint. If external clients access the endpoint listener through an HTTP server or server cluster, by using default port 80, then specify the HTTP server name and no port number.For example (for SOAP over HTTP endpoint listener 1):
http://www.yourcompany.com/wsgwsoaphttp1
http://your.server.name:9080/wsgwsoaphttp1

WSDL serving HTTP URL root
WSDL serving HTTP URL root
The root of the web address for
the WSDL files of the inbound services that are available at this
endpoint listener. This address comprises the root of the HTTP address at which external clients access your endpoint listener application, followed by /sibws
.
http://www.yourcompany.com/sibws
However, if you allow
external clients to connect direct to your application server (for example in a development or test
environment) then this URL root includes the application server host name and port number. For
example:http://your.server.name:9080/sibws
