WS-Addressing

WS-Addressing, the specification of a mechanism, which allows web services to exchange address information. It consists essentially of two parts: a data structure for passing a reference to a Web service endpoint address and a set of properties of messages, the link address information with a particular message. WS -Addressing is part of the so-called WS-* specifications that were developed as a modular extension to SOAP.

WS -Addressing facilitates the use of asynchronous Web service calls by, each SOAP message in its header, additional meta-information about the sender and the receiver of the response as well as the recipient of error messages. This makes it possible to even respond even to a SOAP message when the real message of the transport protocol used no longer exists for a long time. In addition, a "unique ID" and possibly references are transported to previous messages in order to create a conversational context. The respective " Endpoint references" always consist of an XML element

http://www.anyURI.com/any/path/ These are like in corresponding elements inserted and describe it to the address at which the corresponding service can be found (in the case of the recipient who is to be called with the answer ).
