WSDL for Request-Callback Message Exchange

Availability-noteDeprecated

The Request-Callback message exchange is described in WSDL as two separate one-way exchanges.

The WSDL starts with a "Types" section followed by "message definitions". Additionally, it contains two "portType" definitions - one for the request from the consumer to the provider (Library) and one for the response from the provider (LibraryConsumer). The second callback portType contains two operations - one for a regular callback response and one for a callback fault response. Both operations (in LibraryConsumer) declare the Library portType operation as a "partnerOperation" element.

The WSDL used in this message exchange pattern additionally has a "partnerLink" definition, which declares the first portType (Library) as a "service" and the second (LibraryConsumer) as a "callback".

In the following WSDL, the request operation is called seekBookInBasement and that callback operation is called seekBookInBasementResponse:

The LibraryConsumer service waits for callback responses from the service provider (listening to the ActiveMQ queue). The operations involved in the message exchange are: seekBookInBasement, seekBookInBasementResponse and seekBookInBasementFault.
