Summary

We learned a lot in this chapter about web service integration. Specifically, we covered:

• How to automatically export ESB services through a web service endpoint

• How to invoke externally hosted web services using SOAPClients

• How to invoke co-located web services using SOAPProcessor

• How to proxy another web service so that the internal details of this web service is not exposed to the outside world or on to the bus

• How to pass through credentials for proxied web services
