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, and 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 Switch to source view in the Default Endpoint page.

- Plain Old XML (POX): If this is selected the message is transformed to plain old XML format.
- Representational State Transfer (REST) - If this is selected, the message is transformed to REST.
- GET: If this is selected, the message is transformed to a HTTP Get Request.
Optimize- Optimization for the message, which transfers binary data. The available values are as follows.
- Leave As-Is - If this is selected, there will be no special optimization. The original message will be kept.
- SwA - If this is selected, the message is optimized as a SwA (SOAP with Attachment) message.
- MTOM - If this is selected, the message is optimized using a MTOM (message transmission optimization mechanism).
