Configuring custom properties to secure Web services

You can configure name-value pairs of data, where the name is a property key and the value is a string value that you can use to set internal system configuration properties. Defining a new property enables you to configure a setting beyond that which is available through options in the administrative console.

About this task

The Web services security custom properties topic provides the following information about each custom property:
Important: Custom properties that you set for the default consumer or default generator bindings take precedence over general custom properties that you set as additional properties. However, custom bindings take precedence over default bindings.

The following steps explain how to set custom properties to secure Web services:

Procedure

Set custom properties for Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) applications. You can set custom properties to secure Web services for JAX-RPC applications in multiple locations within the administrative console. You can set these custom properties for the default consumer, default generator, or both bindings. Also, you can set custom properties as general additional properties. Collectively, the default consumer bindings, the default generator bindings, and the additional properties are referred to as the default bindings.
Order of precedence for custom properties with JAX-RPC applications: Custom properties that you set in the WS-Security extension and custom bindings take precedence over custom properties that you set in the default bindings. Custom properties that you set in the WS-Security bindings take precedence over custom properties that you set in the WS-Security extension. Custom properties that you set in the generator or sender and consumer or receiver bindings take precedence over custom properties that you set in the additional properties.
