IBM Integration Bus and web services

an IBM® Integration Bus application can participate in a web services environment as a service requester, as a service provider, or both.

The SOAP domain supports these formats:
  • Common web services message formats SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2, SOAP with Attachments (SwA), and MTOM.
  • Consistent SOAP logical tree format, which is independent of the exact message format.
  • WS-Addressing, WS-Security, and WS-RM standards.
The following nodes are provided for use in the SOAP domain:

Use the SOAP nodes and SOAP domain where possible; see Web services: when to use SOAP or HTTP nodes.

Web services support conforms to the following open standards:
  • SOAP 1.1 and 1.2
  • SOAP Messages with Attachments
  • MTOM
  • HTTP 1.1
  • WSDL 1.1
  • WS-Addressing (new SOAP domain only)
  • WS-Security (new SOAP domain only)
  • WS-RM
  • WS-MakeConnection

WSDL is also validated against the WS-I Basic Profile Version 1.1. Conformance to the guidelines in this specification improves interoperability with other applications.
