public class Endpoint
extends java.lang.Object
Endpoint object represents a business
entity, but it may represent a party of any sort. Conceptually, an Endpoint object is the mapping of a
logical name (example, a URI) to a physical location, such as a URL.
For messaging using a provider that supports profiles, an application does not need to specify an endpoint when it
sends a message because destination information will be contained in the profile-specific header. However, for
point-to-point plain SOAP messaging, an application must supply an Endpoint object to the
SOAPConnection method call to indicate the intended destination for the message. The
subclass URLEndpoint can be used when an application wants to send a message directly to a remote party
without using a messaging provider.
The default identification for an Endpoint object is a URI. This defines what JAXM messaging providers
need to support at minimum for identification of destinations. A messaging provider needs to be configured using a
deployment-specific mechanism with mappings from an endpoint to the physical details of that endpoint.
Endpoint objects can be created using the constructor, or they can be looked up in a naming service. The
latter is more flexible because logical identifiers or even other naming schemes (such as DUNS numbers) can be bound
and rebound to specific URIs.
