WS Hosts

The VersaLex Web Service (WS) protocol is used to connect to and transfer files to and from web services.

VersaLex uses Apache Axis2 (version 1.5.1) for SOAP communication and Apache Rampart (version 1.5) for WS-Security. The VersaLex application does not, however, support all features contained within Axis2 and Rampart.

The VersaLex application will read and parse WSDL 1.1, 1.2 or 2.0 from a URI or local file.
Supports HTTP and HTTP/s transports.
Injects custom SOAP headers.
The VersaLex application can send and receive both text and binary files.
Supports WS-Security profiles.

The VersaLex Web Service protocol does NOT support:

SOAP Encoding (as specified in SOAP 1.1)
RESTful web services
