<p><b>Web Services Addressing</b> (<b>WS-Addressing</b>) is a specification of transport-neutral mechanism that allows <a href="Web_service" title="Web service">web services</a> to communicate addressing information. It essentially consists of two parts: a structure for communicating a reference to a Web service endpoint, and a set of message addressing properties which associate addressing information with a particular message.
</p>
<meta property="mw:PageProp/toc">
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Description">Description</h2></div>
<p>WS-Addressing is a standardized way of including message routing data within <a href="SOAP" title="SOAP">SOAP</a> headers. Instead of relying on network-level transport to convey routing information, a message utilizing WS-Addressing may contain its own dispatch metadata in a standardized SOAP header. The network-level transport is only responsible for delivering that message to a dispatcher capable of reading the WS-Addressing metadata. Once that message arrives at the dispatcher specified in the URI, the job of the network-level transport is done.
</p><p>WS-Addressing supports the use of asynchronous interactions by specifying a common SOAP header (wsa:ReplyTo) that contains the endpoint reference (EPR) to which the response is to be sent. The service provider transmits the response message over a separate connection to the wsa:ReplyTo endpoint. This decouples the lifetime of the SOAP request/response interaction from the lifetime of the HTTP request/response protocol, thus enabling long-running interactions that can span arbitrary periods of time.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Endpoint_references">Endpoint references</h2></div>
<p>An endpoint reference (EPR) is an <a href="XML" title="XML">XML</a> structure encapsulating information useful for addressing a message to a Web service. This includes the destination address of the message, any additional parameters (called reference parameters) necessary to route the message to the destination, and optional metadata (such as <a href="Web_Services_Description_Language" title="Web Services Description Language">WSDL</a> or <a href="WS-Policy" title="WS-Policy">WS-Policy</a>) about the service.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Message_addressing_properties">Message addressing properties</h2></div>
<p>Message addressing properties communicate addressing information relating to the delivery of a message to a Web service:
</p>
<ul><li>Message destination <a href="Uniform_Resource_Identifier" title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</a></li>
<li>Source endpoint -- the endpoint of the service that dispatched this message (EPR)</li>
<li>Reply endpoint -- the endpoint to which reply messages should be dispatched (EPR)</li>
<li>Fault endpoint -- the endpoint to which fault messages should be dispatched (EPR)</li>
<li>Action -- an action value indicating the semantics of the message (may assist with routing the message) <a href="Uniform_Resource_Identifier" title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</a></li>
<li>Unique message ID <a href="Uniform_Resource_Identifier" title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</a></li>
<li>Relationship to previous messages (A pair of <a href="Uniform_Resource_Identifier" title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URIs</a>)</li></ul>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>
<p>WS-Addressing was originally authored by <a href="Microsoft" title="Microsoft">Microsoft</a>, <a href="IBM" title="IBM">IBM</a>, <a href="BEA_Systems" title="BEA Systems">BEA</a>, <a href="Sun_Microsystems" title="Sun Microsystems">Sun Microsystems</a>, and <a href="SAP_AG" class="mw-redirect" title="SAP AG">SAP</a> and submitted to <a href="W3C" class="mw-redirect" title="W3C">W3C</a> for standardization.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The W3C WS-Addressing Working Group has refined and augmented the specification in the process of standardization.
</p><p>WS-Addressing is currently specified in three parts:
</p>
<ul><li>The <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ws-addr-core">Core</a> specification of Endpoint References and Message Addressing Properties.</li>
<li>A <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ws-addr-soap">binding</a> of these properties to <a href="SOAP" title="SOAP">SOAP</a>.</li>
<li>The <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ws-addr-metadata/">Metadata</a> specification defines how the abstract properties defined in <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ws-addr-core">Core</a> are described using <a href="Web_Services_Description_Language" title="Web Services Description Language">WSDL</a>, how to include WSDL metadata in endpoint references, and how <a href="WS-Policy" title="WS-Policy">WS-Policy</a> can be used to indicate the support of WS-Addressing by a Web service.</li></ul>
<p><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.w3.org/Submission/WS-PAEPR/">Web Services Policy Attachment for Endpoint Reference (WS-PAEPR)</a> specifies the mechanism and meaning of including <a href="WS-Policy" title="WS-Policy">WS-Policy</a> expressions in Endpoint References. WS-PAEPR is a W3C Member Submission.
