Yes. Well, I would expect whatever EPR as long as it addresses your
interop service.

Call that factory a "discovery mechanism". That factory just doesn't use
WS-Addressing (i.e. does not make use of the "wsaw:useAddressing" (or
something like that) attribute in its WSDL) except that it returns an
EPR to the interop service itself. The only thing you have to publish is
the factory's URL.
