| <div><p>WS-I is an organization designed to promote Web service interoperability |
| across platforms, operating systems, and programming languages.</p> |
| <p>For more information on WS-I, refer to their Web site: <a href="http://www.ws-i.org/" target="_blank">http://www.ws-i.org/</a>. |
| This site contains resources such as an overview of Web services interoperability, |
| usage scenarios, and specifications.</p> |
| <p>WS-I Basic Profile is a outline of requirements to which WSDL and Web service |
| protocol (SOAP/HTTP) traffic must comply in order to claim WS-I conformance. |
| The Web services WS-I validation tools currently support WS-I Simple SOAP |
| Binding Profile 1.0 (WS-I SSBP) which builds on the WS-I Basic Profile, and |
| the WS-I Attachments Profile 1.0 (WS-I AP). To view the specifications, refer |
| to the WS-I Web site, and under <span class="uicontrol">Deliverables</span> select |
| <span class="uicontrol">Basic Profile</span>.</p> |
| <p>Depending on the type of Web service being created, you may or may not |
| want your Web service to comply with the WS-I profiles. The default level |
| of compliance is to generate a warning if a non WS-I SSBP complaint Web service |
| option is selected and to ignore any non WS-I AP compliant selections. You |
| can set the level of WS-I compliance at the workspace or project level. The |
| Web services wizards, the WebSphere<sup>®</sup> run-time environments, the WSDL editor, |
| and other Web services tools provided support and encourage the development |
| of WS-I compliance services.</p> |

| The Web services WS-I validation tools support the level of WS-I |
| compliance outlined in the WS-I Basic Profile 1.1, the WS-I Simple SOAP Binding |
| Profile 1.0 (WS-I SSBP), and the WS-I Attachments Profile 1.0 (WS-I AP). You |
| can choose to make your Web service compliant or non-compliant, depending |
| on your needs. For example, encoded style (RPC/encoded), SOAP over JMS protocols, |
| and secured Web services, are not WS-I compliant.</li> |
