Defining the Metadata

Java based service providers typically use annotations to specify JAX-WS metadata. Since JavaScript does not support annotations, you must use ordinary JavaScript variables to specify metadata for JavaScript implementations. Fuse Services Framework treats any JavaScript variable with a name that equals or begins with WebServiceProvider as a JAX-WS metadata variable.

Required properties

Properties of the variable are expected to specify the same metadata that the JAX-WS WebServiceProvider annotation specifies, including:

wsdlLocation—Specifies a URL for the WSDL document that defines the service
serviceName—Specifies the name of the service
portName—Specifies the service's port/interface name
targetNamespace—Specifies the target namespace of the service

Optional properties

The JavaScript WebServiceProvider— can also specify the following optional properties:

ServiceMode—Indicates whether the specified service handles SOAP payload documents or full SOAP message documents. This property mimics the JAX-WS ServiceMode annotation. The default value is PAYLOAD.
BindingMode—Indicates the service binding ID URL. The default is the SOAP 1.1/HTTP binding.
EndpointAddress—Indicates the URL consumer applications use to communicate with this service. The property is optional and has no default.

Example

Example 1.1 shows a metadata description for a JavaScript service implementation.

Example 1.1. JavaScript Web Service Metadata

var WebServiceProvider1 = {
    'wsdlLocation': 'file:./wsdl/hello_world.wsdl',
    'serviceName': 'SOAPService1',
    'portName': 'SoapPort1',
    'targetNamespace': 'http://objectweb.org/hello_world_soap_http',
};
