| <p>For more information on WS-I, refer to their Web site: <xref format="html" |
| href="http://www.ws-i.org/" scope="external">http://www.ws-i.org/</xref>. |
| 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 <uicontrol>Deliverables</uicontrol> select |
| <uicontrol>Basic Profile</uicontrol>.</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 <tm tmclass="ibm" tmowner="IBM Corporation" tmtype="reg" |
| trademark="WebSphere">WebSphere</tm> run-time environments, the WSDL editor, |
| and other Web services tools provided support and encourage the development |
| of WS-I compliance services.</p> |
