The conduit element

You configure an HTTP client using the http-conf:conduit element and its children. The http-conf:conduit element takes a single attribute, name , that specifies the WSDL port element that corresponds to the endpoint. The value for the name attribute takes the form portQName .http-conduit . For example, the code below shows the http-conf:conduit element that would be used to add configuration for an endpoint that was specified by the WSDL fragment <port binding="widgetSOAPBinding" name="widgetSOAPPort> if the endpoint's target namespace was http://widgets.widgetvendor.net". Alternatively, the name attribute can be a regular expression to match a URL. This allows configuration of conduits that are not used for purposes of WSDL based endpoints such as JAX-RS and for WSDL retrieval.

<http-conf:conduit name=
   "{http://widgets/widgetvendor.net}widgetSOAPPort.http-conduit">

<http-conf:conduit name="*.http-conduit">
<!-- you can also using a wild card specify the http-conduit 
   that you want to configure -->
   ...
</http-conf:conduit>
  
<http-conf:conduit name="http://localhost:8080/.">
<!-- you can also use the reg-ex URL to match for 
   the http-conduit that you want to configure -->
   ...
</http-conf:conduit>

<http-conf:conduit name="http://localhost:8080/.*">
<!-- you can also using the reg-ex URL matching for 
     the http-conduit that you want to configure -->

The http-conf:conduit element has a number of child elements that specify configuration information. They are described below. See also Sun's JSSE documentation for more information on configuring SSL.
