Abstract: WS-Addressing EndpointReferences represent Web service endpoints and are propagated in the SOAP Envelope as part of Web service interactions. There is disclosed a method, apparatus and computer program for resolving (or modifying) aspects of the EndpointReference at the time of its propagation based on the EndpointReference recipient. Different recipients will potentially receive differing EndpointReferences. Aspects of the EndpointReference are re-resolved as the SOAP XML representing the EndpointReference is generated for the EndpointReference's propagation. For example, the location of the recipient might make a difference to the address propagated—if the recipient is outside a firewall, it may be appropriate to provide the recipient with the address of the firewall itself and to allow the firewall to re-route any request from the data to the web service endpoint.

Abstract: A method provides a debug service in a network environment. One or more processors initiate a debug service as a remote shared service in the network environment. The debug service receives a call from a deployed workload process within a virtual machine in the network environment, and gathers required information for a debug session of the workload process, where the required information includes source code used by the workload process. One or more processors attach the debug service to the workload process to carry out the debug session, such that the debug service working with a debug agent at the workload process attaches to and debugs a virtual environment that obscures the virtual machine.
