Web Services Addressing 1.0 - Core [ WS-Addressing Core ] defines a set of abstract properties and an XML Infoset [ XML Information Set ] representation of Web service endpoint references (EPRs) and to facilitate end-to-end addressing of endpoints in messages. Web Services Addressing 1.0 - Metadata (this document) defines how the abstract properties defined in Web Services Addressing 1.0 - Core are described using WSDL and how WS-Policy can be used to indicate the support of WS-Addressing by a Web service. WS-Addressing is designed to be able to work with WS-Policy 1.5 [ WS Policy 1.5 ], WSDL 2.0 [ WSDL 2.0 ] and also (for backwards compatibility) with WSDL 1.1 [ WSDL 1.1 ] described services.
The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [ IETF RFC 2119 ].
When describing abstract data models, this specification uses the notational convention used by the XML Infoset [ XML Information Set ]. Specifically, abstract property names always appear in square brackets (e.g., [some property]).
When describing concrete XML schemas [ XML Schema Structures , XML Schema Datatypes ], this specification uses the notational convention of WS-Security [ WS-Security ]. Specifically, each member of an element's [children] or [attributes] property is described using an XPath-like notation (e.g., /x:MyHeader/x:SomeProperty/@value1). The use of {any} indicates the presence of an element wildcard (<xs:any/>). The use of @{any} indicates the presence of an attribute wildcard (<xs:anyAttribute/>).
This specification uses a number of namespace prefixes throughout; they are listed in Table 1-1 . Note that the choice of any namespace prefix is arbitrary and not semantically significant (see [ XML Namespaces ]).

The working group intends to update the value of the Web Services Addressing 1.0 - Metadata namespace URI each time a new version of this document is published until such time that the document reaches Candidate Recommendation status. Once it has reached Candidate Recommendation status, the working group intends to maintain the value of the Web Services Addressing 1.0 - Metadata namespace URI that was assigned in the Candidate Recommendation unless significant changes are made that impact the implementation of the specification.
WS-Addressing is defined in terms of the XML Information Set [ XML Information Set ]. WS-Addressing can be used with SOAP [ SOAP 1.2 , SOAP 1.1 ] as described in Web Services Addressing 1.0 - SOAP Binding [ WS-Addressing SOAP Binding ]. The examples in this specification use an XML 1.0 [ XML 1.0 ] representation but this is not a requirement.
All information items defined by this specification are identified by the XML namespace URI [ XML Namespaces ] "http://www.w3.org/2007/05/addressing/metadata". A normative XML Schema [ XML Schema Structures , XML Schema Datatypes ] document can be obtained by dereferencing the XML namespace URI.
An EPR's metadata section can contain a reference to WSDL metadata, can include embedded WSDL metadata, or both.
The WSDL binding of Web Services Addressing introduces the following element and attribute information items for referencing WSDL metadata from an EPR's metadata section:
A QName identifying a description of the sequences of messages that a service sends and/or receives. This corresponds to a WSDL 2.0 interface or, for backwards compatibility, a WSDL 1.1 port type. When this element is included in an EPR, the EPR is considered to be specific to the interface or port type it identifies.
A QName that identifies the set of endpoints at which a particular Web service is deployed. The set of endpoints is represented by a service in WSDL 2.0 or, for backwards compatibility, a WSDL 1.1 service.
An NCName that identifies one endpoint amongst the set identified by the service name above. An endpoint is represented by an endpoint in WSDL 2.0 or, for backwards compatibility, a port in WSDL 1.1. When this attribute is specified, the EPR is considered to be specific to the endpoint or port it identifies.
The element information items defined above are used in an EPR's metadata section. The following shows an example endpoint reference. This references the interface named "ghns:reservationInterface" at the endpoint IRI "http://greath.example.com/2004/reservation". Note the use of the WSDL[ WSDL 2.0 ] wsdlLocation attribute.
Example 2-1. Example endpoint reference.
<wsa:EndpointReference xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing" xmlns:ghns="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc"> <wsa:Address>http://greath.example.com/2004/reservation</wsa:Address> <wsa:Metadata xmlns:wsdli="http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl-instance" wsdli:wsdlLocation="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc http://greath.example.com/2004/reservation.wsdl"> <wsam:InterfaceName>ghns:reservationInterface</wsam:InterfaceName> </wsa:Metadata> </wsa:EndpointReference>
WSDL 2.0 or, for backwards compatibility, 1.1 definitions can be embedded in the metadata section of an EPR to provide a consuming application with WSDL information that applies to the referenced endpoint. To do so, the creator of an EPR MAY include a WSDL 2.0 description element (or a WSDL 1.1 definitions element) in the metadata property of the EPR. The semantics of the embedded WSDL is as defined by the WSDL 2.0 or 1.1 specifications.
In particular, embedding a WSDL service component description MAY be used by EPR issuers to indicate the presence of alternative addresses and protocol bindings to access the referenced endpoint. The alternatives are provided by the different endpoints of the embedded service. In the case of WSDL 1.1, additional ports can be conveyed by the WSDL 1.1 service definition which are not alternative access channels to the endpoint. In that case, if the InterfaceName or ServiceName elements are also included in the metadata section of the EPR, only the ports with the same interface as that specified are to be considered alternative access channels.
If the ServiceName element appears in the EPR’s [metadata] and an embedded WSDL service component is also provided inside a descriptions or definitions component, then the ServiceName SHOULD match the name of (one or more of) the WSDL service(s) included therein; the endpoint (port) name SHOULD match as well if present. The behavior of an EPR consumer when the ServiceName doesn’t match an embedded description is undefined.
Example 2-2. An EPR containing WSDL 2.0 metadata
<wsa:EndpointReference xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing"> <wsa:Address>http://greath.example.com/2004/reservation</wsa:Address> <wsa:Metadata xmlns:wsdli="http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl-instance" wsdli:wsdlLocation="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc http://greath.example.com/2004/reservation.wsdl"> <wsdl20:description targetNamespace="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc" xmlns:tns="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc" xmlns:ghns="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc" xmlns:wsdl20="http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl"> <wsdl20:import namespace="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc" location="http://greath.example.com/2004/reservation.wsdl"/> <wsdl20:service name="reservationService" interface="tns:reservationInterface"> <wsdl20:endpoint name="reservationEndpoint" binding="tns:reservationSOAPBinding" address ="http://greath.example.com/2004/reservation"/> </wsdl20:service> </wsdl20:description> </wsa:Metadata> </wsa:EndpointReference>
Example 2-3. An EPR containing WSDL 1.1 metadata
<wsa:EndpointReference xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing"> <wsa:Address>http://greath.example.com/2004/reservation</wsa:Address> <wsa:Metadata> <wsdl11:definitions targetNamespace="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc" xmlns:ghns="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:wsdl11="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"> <wsdl11:import namespace="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc" location="http://greath.example.com/2004/reservation.wsdl"/> <wsdl11:service name="reservationService"> <wsdl11:port name="ep1" binding="ghns:reservationSOAPBinding"> <soap:address location="http://greath.example.com/2004/reservation"/> </wsdl11:port> </wsdl11:service> </wsdl11:definitions> </wsa:Metadata> </wsd:EndpointReference>
This specification supports a mechanism for indicating, in a WSDL description, that the endpoint conforms to the WS-Addressing specification. That mechanism uses WS-Policy Framework [ WS Policy 1.5 ].
The mechanism for indicating that a binding or endpoint conforms to the WS-Addressing specification is through the use of the Web Services Policy - Framework [ WS Policy 1.5 ] and Web Services Policy - Attachment [ WS Policy 1.5 - Attachment ] specifications. This specification defines three policy assertions.
The wsam:Addressing
policy assertion applies to the
endpoint policy subject.
For WSDL 1.1, these assertions may be attached to
wsdl11:port
or wsdl11:binding
. For WSDL
2.0, they may be attached to wsdl20:endpoint
or
wsdl20:binding
. A policy expression containing the
wsam:Addressing policy assertion MUST NOT be attached to a
wsdl:portType
or wsdl20:interface
. The
wsam:Addressing
policy assertion specifies a concrete
behavior whereas the wsdl:portType
or
wsdl20:interface
is an abstract construct.
The wsam:Addressing
policy assertion is a nested
policy container assertion. The meaning of this assertion, when
present in a policy alternative, is that WS-Addressing is required
to communicate with the subject. The wsam:Addressing
assertion indicates that there are no restrictions on the use of
WS-Addressing unless otherwise qualified by assertions in its
nested policy expression. In order to indicate that the subject
supports WS-Addressing but does not require its use, an additional
policy alternative should be provided which does not contain this
assertion. This may be done in
WS-Policy assertion; the
compact form authoring style for an optional policy assertion
provided by adding the
attribute WS-Policy V1.5 [
WS Policy
1.5 ] may be used.
The wsp:Optional="true"
wsp:Optional
to attribute, as a
syntactic shortcut, can be used with the
wsam:Addressing
assertion. This
indicates two policy alternatives, one which contains the policy
assertion, and another which does not.
The inclusion of this assertion implies support for the Web Services Addressing 1.0 - Core [ WS-Addressing Core ] and Web Services Addressing 1.0 - SOAP Binding [ WS-Addressing SOAP Binding ].
The wsam:AnonymousResponses
element MAY be used as
a policy assertion nested within the wsam:Addressing
assertion in accordance with the rules laid down by
policy assertion nesting ([ WS Policy
1.5 ], section 4.3.2).
The appearance of this element within the
wsam:Addressing
policy assertion indicates that the
endpoint requires request messages to use response endpoint EPRs
that contain the anonymous URI ("
http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/anonymous
") as
the value of [address]. In other words, the endpoint requires the
use of anonymous responses.
The None URI ("
http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/none
") may
appear as the value of [address] in place of the anonymous URI;
this value MUST be accepted.
The wsam:NonAnonymousResponses
element MAY be used
as a policy assertion nested within the Addressing assertion in
accordance with the rules laid down by
policy assertion nesting ([ WS Policy
1.5 ], section 4.3.2). The
wsam:NonAnonymousResponses
policy assertion MUST NOT
be used in the same policy alternative as the
wsam:AnonymousResponses
policy assertion.
The appearance of this element within the
wsam:Addressing
assertion indicates that the endpoint
expresses requires request messages to use response endpoint EPRs
that contain something other than the anonymous URI as the value of
[address]. In other words, the endpoint requires the use of
non-anonymous responses. This assertion is deliberately vague; its
presence indicates that some non-anonymous addresses will be
accepted but doesn't constrain what such an address might look
like. A receiver can still reject a request that contains an
address that it doesn't understand or that requires a binding it
doesn't support.
The None URI ("
http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/none
") may
appear as the value of [address] in place of a non-anonymous
address; this value MUST be accepted.
Example 3-1. Subject supports WS-Addressing
<wsp:Policy> <wsam:Addressing wsp:Optional="true"> <wsp:Policy/> </wsam:Addressing> </wsp:Policy>
Example 3-2. Subject requires WS-Addressing
<wsp:Policy> <wsam:Addressing> <wsp:Policy/> </wsam:Addressing> </wsp:Policy>
Example 3-3. Subject requires WS-Addressing and requires the use of non-anonymous response EPRs
<wsp:Policy> <wsam:Addressing> <wsp:Policy> <wsam:NonAnonymousResponses/> </wsp:Policy> </wsam:Addressing> </wsp:Policy>
Example 3-4. Subject supports WS-Addressing
<wsp:Policy> <wsp:ExactlyOne> <wsp:All/> <wsp:All> <wsam:Addressing> <wsp:Policy> <wsp:ExactlyOne> <wsp:All/> </wsp:ExactlyOne> </wsp:Policy> </wsam:Addressing> </wsp:All> </wsp:ExactlyOne> </wsp:Policy>
Example 3-5. Subject requires WS-Addressing
<wsp:Policy> <wsp:ExactlyOne> <wsp:All> <wsam:Addressing> <wsp:Policy> <wsp:ExactlyOne> <wsp:All/> </wsp:ExactlyOne> </wsp:Policy> </wsam:Addressing> </wsp:All> </wsp:ExactlyOne> </wsp:Policy>
Example 3-6. Subject requires WS-Addressing and requires the use of non-anonymous response EPRs
<wsp:Policy> <wsp:ExactlyOne> <wsp:All> <wsam:Addressing> <wsp:Policy> <wsp:ExactlyOne> <wsp:All> <wsam:NonAnonymousResponses/> </wsp:All> </wsp:ExactlyOne> </wsp:Policy> </wsam:Addressing> </wsp:All> </wsp:ExactlyOne> </wsp:Policy>
When a client is looking for an endpoint with compatible policy, one common method used is to take the policy intersection between the policy which the client is looking for, and the policy asserted in the WSDL document; a non-empty intersection is sought. The policy used by the client must be written carefully to avoid unexpected results. This is most obvious when the client is not looking for explicit support of a particular kind of response; failing to take care could mean missing a compatible policy.
Example 3-7. Client looking for an endpoint which supports Addressing, and which supports anonymous responses
<wsp:Policy> <wsp:ExactlyOne> <wsp:All> <wsam:Addressing> <wsp:Policy> <wsp:ExactlyOne> <wsp:All> <AnonymousResponses Optional=”true”/> </wsp:All> </wsp:ExactlyOne> </wsp:Policy> </wsam:Addressing> </wsp:All> </wsp:ExactlyOne> </wsp:Policy>
Example 3-8. Client looking for an endpoint which supports Addressing, and does not require support for responses (will intersect with anything)
<wsp:Policy> <wsp:ExactlyOne> <wsp:All> <wsam:Addressing> <-- supports all response types --> <wsp:Policy> </wsp:Policy> </wsam:Addressing> </wsp:All> <wsp:All> <wsam:Addressing> <-- requires Anonymous responses --> <wsp:Policy> <wsp:ExactlyOne> <wsp:All> <AnonymousResponses /> </wsp:All> </wsp:ExactlyOne> </wsp:Policy> </wsam:Addressing> </wsp:All> <wsp:All> <wsam:Addressing> <- requires nonAnonymous responses --> <wsp:Policy> <wsp:ExactlyOne> <wsp:All> <NonAnonymousResponses /> </wsp:All> </wsp:ExactlyOne> </wsp:Policy> </wsam:Addressing> </wsp:All> </wsp:ExactlyOne> </wsp:Policy>
For more detailed descriptions of the use of wsp:Optional, wsp:Ignorable, and strict and lax intersection, please refer to the WS-Policy Primer [ WS Policy 1.5 - Primer ].
This section describes how the values of certain message addressing properties can be specified in WSDL. In some cases the values of message addressing properties are specified using existing WSDL constructs, in other cases new WSDL extensions are defined for that purpose.
A wsdl20:endpoint or wsdl11:port element MAY be extended using a child wsa:EndpointReference element. When extended this way, the [address] property of the child EPR MUST match the {address} property of the endpoint component (WSDL 2.0) or the address value provided by the relevant port extension (WSDL 1.1). For example, in a SOAP 1.1 port described using WSDL 1.1, the location attribute of a soap11:address element (if present) would have the same value as the wsa:Address child element of the wsa:EndpointReference element.
Use of WS-Addressing adds the following OPTIONAL properties to the WSDL 2.0 component model:
A property of the Endpoint component, named {endpoint reference}. This property is of type wsa:EndpointReference, with a cardinality of 1. The property has the value of the wsa:EndpointReference element used as a child of wsdl20:endpoint, if any. If no such extension exists, this property is absent.
The value of the [destination] message addressing property for a message sent to an endpoint typically matches the value of the {address} property of the endpoint component (WSDL 2.0) or the address value (if any) provided by the relevant port extension (WSDL 1.1). For a SOAP 1.1 port described using WSDL 1.1, the value is provided by the location attribute of the soap11:address extension element. For an endpoint or port extended with an EPR (see 4.1 Extending WSDL Endpoints with an EPR ), the value is provided by the [address] property of the EPR.
Additional runtime information could override the value of the [destination] message addressing property for messages sent to an endpoint, e.g. a runtime exchange might result in a redirection to a different EPR. Note that WS-Addressing does not define any normative mechanism for such redirection.
When a wsa:EndpointReference element is present in a wsdl20:endpoint or a wsdl11:port element (see 4.1 Extending WSDL Endpoints with an EPR ), the value of the [reference parameters] message addressing property for a message sent to an endpoint MUST include the contents of the wsa:ReferenceParameters element, if one exists within that EPR.
WS-Addressing defines two mechanisms to associate a value of the [action] property with input, output and fault elements within a WSDL description: explicit and defaulting. Explicit association is described in section 4.4.1 Explicit Association ; action defaulting (where a unique value for the [action] property is automatically generated) is described in section 4.4.4 Default Action Pattern for WSDL 1.1 for WSDL 1.1 and section 4.4.2 Default Action Pattern for WSDL 2.0 for WSDL 2.0.
Ensuring that there is sufficient information within a message to distinguish which WSDL operation it is associated with is specified as a best practice in WSDL 2.0 WSDL 2.0 . The [action] property provides a mechanism to fulfill that best practice.
WS-Addressing defines a global attribute, wsam:Action, that can be used to explicitly define the value of the [action] property for messages in a WSDL description. The type of the attribute is xs:anyURI and it is used as an extension on the WSDL input, output and fault elements. A SOAP binding can specify SOAPAction values for the input messages of operations. In the absence of a wsam:Action attribute on a WSDL input element where a non-empty SOAPAction value is specified, the value of the [action] property for the input message is the value of the SOAPAction specified. If the wsam:Action attribute is absent, and SOAPAction is not specified, or is empty, then the default pattern is used. Note that the SOAPAction value is not required to be an absolute IRI, but the [action] property is required to be an absolute IRI; if WS-Addressing is required (the wsam:Addressing assertion is present), wsam:Action is not specified, and the SOAPAction value is not empty or an absolute IRI, then the document MUST be considered invalid. Web Services Addressing 1.0 - SOAP Binding[ WS-Addressing SOAP Binding ] specifies restrictions on the relationship between the values of [action] and SOAPAction for SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2.
The inclusion of wsam:Action without the inclusion of the wsam:Addressing assertion has no normative intent and is only informational. In other words, the inclusion of wsam:Action attributes in WSDL alone does not imply a requirement on clients to use Message Addressing Properties in messages it sends to the service. A client, however, MAY include Message Addressing Properties in the messages it sends, either on its own initiative or as described by other elements of the service contract, regardless of the presence or absence of the wsam:Addressing assertion. Other specifications defining the value of [action] are under no constraint to be consistent with wsam:Action.
For example consider the following WSDL excerpt:
Example 4-1. Explicit specification of wsa:Action value in a WSDL 2.0 description.
<description targetNamespace="http://greath.example.com/2004/schemas/resSvc" ...> ... <interface name="reservationInterface"> <operation name="opCheckAvailability" pattern="http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/in-out"> <input element="tns:checkAvailability" messageLabel="In" wsam:Action="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc/opCheckAvailability"/> <output element="tns:checkAvailabilityResponse" messageLabel="Out" wsam:Action="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc/opCheckAvailabilityResponse"/> </operation> </interface> ... </description>
The action for the input of the opCheckAvailability operation within the reservationInterface is explicitly defined to be http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc/opCheckAvailability. The action for the output of this same operation is http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc/opCheckAvailabilityResponse.
Example 4-2. Explicit specification of wsa:Action value in a WSDL 1.1 description.
<definitions targetNamespace="http://greath.example.com/2004/schemas/resSvc" ...> ... <portType name="reservationInterface"> <operation name="opCheckAvailability"> <input message="tns:checkAvailability" wsam:Action="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc/opCheckAvailability"/> <output message="tns:checkAvailabilityResponse" wsam:Action="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc/opCheckAvailabilityResponse"/> </operation> </portType> ... </definitions>
The action for the input of the opCheckAvailability operation within the reservationInterface port type is explicitly defined to be http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc/opCheckAvailability. The action for the output of this same operation is http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc/opCheckAvailabilityResponse.
In the absence of an explicitly specified value for the [action] property (see section 4.4.1 Explicit Association ), the following pattern is used in WSDL 2.0 documents to construct a default action for inputs and outputs. The general form of an action URI is as follows:
Example 4-3. Structure of defaulted wsa:Action IRI in WSDL 2.0.
[target namespace][delimiter][interface name][delimiter][operation name][direction token]
For fault messages, the general form of an action IRI is as follows:
Example 4-4. Structure of default wsa:Action IRI for faults
[target namespace][delimiter][interface name][delimiter][fault name] [target namespace][delimiter][interface name][delimiter][operation name][direction token][delimiter][fault name]
Where:
is ":" when the [target namespace] is a URN, otherwise "/". Note that for IRI schemes other than URNs which aren't path-based (i.e. those that outlaw the "/" character), the default action value might not conform to the rules of the IRI scheme. Authors are advised to specify explicit values in the WSDL in this case.
is the {target namespace} of the interface. If [target namespace] ends with a "/" an additional "/" is not added.
is the {name} of the interface.
is the {name} of the operation.
is the {name} of the fault.
Empty ("") where the operation's {message exchange pattern} is "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/in-only", "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/robust-in-only", "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/out-only", or "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/robust-out-only".
"Request" where the operation's {message exchange pattern} is "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/in-out" or "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/in-opt-out" and the message reference's {message label} = 'In'.
"Solicit" where the operation's {message exchange pattern} is "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/out-in" or "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/out-opt-in" and the message reference's {message label} = 'Out'.
"Response" where the operation's {message exchange pattern} is "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/in-out" or "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/in-opt-out" and the message reference's {message label} = 'Out'.
"Response" where the operation's {message exchange pattern} is "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/out-in", or "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/out-opt-in" and the message reference's {message label} = 'In'.
{message label} where the {message exchange pattern} is not one of the MEP IRIs defined in WSDL 2.0 Part 2.
For example consider the following WSDL excerpt:
Example 4-5. Example WSDL without explicit wsa:Action values.
<description targetNamespace="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc" ...> ... <interface name="reservationInterface"> <operation name="opCheckAvailability" pattern="http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/in-out"> <input element="tns:checkAvailability" messageLabel="In"/> <output element="tns:checkAvailabilityResponse" messageLabel="Out"/> </operation> </interface> ... </definitions>
[targetNamespace] = http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc
[interface name] = reservationInterface
[operation name] = opCheckAvailability
[direction token] for input is Request
[direction token] for output is Response
Applying the pattern patterns above with these values we have:
input action = http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc/reservationInterface/opCheckAvailabilityRequest
output action = http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc/reservationInterface/opCheckAvailabilityResponse
fault action for a fault named AvailabilityNotAvailableFault = http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc/reservationInterface/opCheckAvailabilityResponse/AvailabilityNotAvailableFault
Use of WS-Addressing adds the following REQUIRED properties to the WSDL 2.0 component model:
A property of the Interface Message Reference and Interface Fault Operation InFault/OutFault components named {action}. The property is of type xs:anyURI. The property value is either explicitly specified, as described in section 4.4.1 Explicit Association , or the default value computed following the rules from section 4.4.2 Default Action Pattern for WSDL 2.0 .
A default pattern is also defined for backwards compatibility with WSDL 1.1. In the absence of an explicitly specified value for the [action] property (see section 4.4.1 Explicit Association ), the following pattern is used to construct a default action for inputs and outputs. The general form of an action IRI is as follows:
Example 4-6. Structure of defaulted wsa:Action IRI.
[target namespace][delimiter][port type name][delimiter][input|output name]
For fault messages, the general form of an action IRI is as follows:
Example 4-7. Structure of default wsa:Action IRI for faults
[target namespace][delimiter][port type name][delimiter][operation name][delimiter]Fault[delimiter][fault name]
Where:
is ":" when the [target namespace] is a URN, otherwise "/". Note that for IRI schemes other than URNs which aren't path-based (i.e. those that outlaw the "/" character), the default action value might not conform to the rules of the IRI scheme. Authors are advised to specify explicit values in the WSDL in this case.
is a literal character string to be included in the action.
is the target namespace (/definition/@targetNamespace). If [target namespace] ends with a "/" an additional "/" is not added.
is the name of the port type (/definition/portType/@name).
is the {name} of the operation.
is the name of the element as defined in Section 2.4.5 of WSDL 1.1.
is the name of the fault (/definition/porttype/operation/fault/@name).
For example consider the following WSDL excerpt:
Example 4-8. Example WSDL without explicit wsa:Action values with explicit message names.
<definitions targetNamespace="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc" ...> ... <portType name="reservationInterface"> <operation name="opCheckAvailability"> <input message="tns:checkAvailability" name="CheckAvailability"/> <output message="tns:checkAvailabilityResponse" name="Availability"/> <fault message="tns:InvalidDate" name="InvalidDate"/> </operation> </portType> ... </definitions>
[targetNamespace] = http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc
[port type name] = reservationInterface
[input name] = CheckAvailability
[output name] = CheckAvailabilityResponse
[fault name] = InvalidDate
Applying the pattern above with these values we have:
input action = http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc/reservationInterface/CheckAvailability
output action = http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc/reservationInterface/Availability
fault action = http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc/reservationInterface/opCheckAvailability/Fault/InvalidDate
WSDL defines rules for a default input or output name if the name attribute is not present. Consider the following example:
Example 4-9. Example WSDL without explicit wsa:Action values or explicit message names.
<definitions targetNamespace="http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc" ...> ... <portType name="reservationInterface"> <operation name="opCheckAvailability"> <input message="tns:checkAvailability"/> <output message="tns:checkAvailabilityResponse"/> </operation> </portType> ... </definitions>
[targetNamespace] = http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc
[port type name] = reservationInterface
According to the rules defined in Section 2.4.5 of WSDL 1.1, if the name attribute is absent for the input of a request response operation the default value is the name of the operation with "Request" appended.
[input name] = opCheckAvailabilityRequest
Likewise, the output defaults to the operation name with "Response" appended.
[output name] = opCheckAvailabilityResponse
Applying the pattern above with these values we have:
input action = http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc/reservationInterface/opCheckAvailabilityRequest
output action = http://greath.example.com/2004/wsdl/resSvc/reservationInterface/opCheckAvailabilityResponse

This section describes strategies for choosing [action] values consistent between this specification and the WS-Addressing Member Submission published 10 August 2004 (hereafter called "2004-08"). The wsa200408 namespace prefix below refers to the "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing" namespace defined in the 2004-08 version.
The WS-Addressing 1.0 [action] property, which identifies the semantics implied by a message, is semantically equivalent to the [action] message information header defined in the 2004-08 version. Authors are therefore advised to use the same value for 1.0 [action] and 2004-08 [action].
However, when describing services in WSDL, the namespace of the Action attribute used to associate values with WSDL operations differs in the two versions (wsam:Action versus wsa200408:Action), and the default action pattern in WS-Addressing 1.0 differs in two respects from that in the 2004-08 version: the [delimiter] can be either "/" or ":" in 1.0 while in 2004-08 it is always "/", and the default action pattern for faults is closer to that of other messages instead of a constant URI.
If a default action pattern is desired, this specification recommends the 1.0 default action pattern. The 200408 [action] can be made consistent with the 1.0 default by:
specifying wsa200408:Action explicitly when the targetNamespace is a URN, and
specifying wsa200408:Action explicitly when the message is a fault.
If the targetNamespace is a URN, it is not advisable to use the 2004-08 default action pattern, as it leads to malformed IRIs. If the targetNamespace is not a URN, and the 2004-08 default action pattern is in use, the 1.0 [action] value can be made consistent by:
specifying wsam:Action explicitly when the message is a fault.
