The Endpoint class encapsulates the concept of a
JAXM endpoint, which is the point of communication between a JAXM
application client and its local messaging provider. A JAXM client
typically builds a SOAP message containing source and destination
Endpoint addresses, and delivers it to its local
provider, which is responsible for delivering it. Similarly, a JAXM
receiver will register with its local provider and supply the
Endpoint for which it wishes to receive inbound
messages.
An Endpoint is constructed from a URI, which is
essentially an arbitrary string that represents a message
destination. Here's an example of the construction
of an Endpoint:
Endpoint endpoint = new Endpoint("urn:SOAPRPecho");
When a message addressed to this endpoint is sent, the messaging
provider is expected to convert the logical address
urn:SOAPRPecho to the real address of the
receiving JAXM messaging provider using configuration information
supplied in an implementation-dependent manner. The actual endpoint
address is typically carried in the message as part of a SOAP message
header so that it can be interpreted by the receiving provider and
used to locate the intended recipient. Both the WS-Routing and ebXML
profiles include headers that carry this information.
