WS-Notification

WS-Notification enables web services to use the publish and subscribe messaging pattern. Use these topics to learn more about WS-Notification.

WS-Notification became a stabilized feature in WebSphere® Application Server Version 8.5.5.

You use publish and subscribe messaging to publish one message to many subscribers. In this pattern a producing application inserts (publishes) a message (event notification) into the messaging system having marked it with a topic that indicates the subject area of the message. Consuming applications that have subscribed to the topic in question, and have appropriate authority, all receive an independent copy of the message that was published by the producing application.
