In this section, we will walk through a sample binding scenario which will help us to understand binding of services.
The sample will make use of the following run-time setups:
Apache SOAP in Tomcat
EJB container in BEA Weblogic
A stateless session EJB (HelloServiceBean) is deployed in BEA Weblogic Server which exposes a single method, shown as follows:
public String hello(String phrase)
HelloServiceBean exposes an Endpoint. This Endpoint connects to a Weblogic specific t3 channel. t3 channel can pass through t3 protocol, for object service access. Let us assume that we have a requirement of accessing the above EJB service through a HTTP channel (for some reason like a firewall restriction between the server and the client). We can solve this problem by making use of a web server infrastructure.
Even though we can use different web server setups (even Weblogic's web container can be used for this) to achieve this, we will use Apache...
