Default Endpoint

The Default Endpoint is an endpoint defined for adding QoS and other configurations to the endpoint which is resolved from the To address of the message context. All the configurations such as message format for the endpoint, the method to optimize attachments, reliable messaging, security policies for the endpoint can be specified as in the Address Endpoint. This endpoint differs from the address endpoint only in the URI attribute which will not be present in this endpoint.



XML Configuration

Note

You can configure the Default endpoint using XML. Click on "Switch to source view" in the "Default Endpoint" page.
