Manage policy sets and bindings for service clients at the application level using the administrative console

Use this administrative console task to manage policy sets for service clients applications or its services, endpoints, or operations.

Before you begin

Before completing this task, you need to install the IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services and deploy a Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) application.

About this task

You have developed a Web service that contains all the necessary artifacts and deployed your Web services application into your application server instance. Now, you can attach or detach policy sets and manage the associated bindings. The policy set information is displayed in the Attach policy set column. If a policy set is directly attached, then the policy set name, RAMP default, for example, is displayed. If there is no policy set attached, and a policy set is attached at a higher level, theninherited is appended to the policy set name, as the following example demonstrates: RAMP default (inherited). If there is no policy set attached directly or at a higher level, then None is displayed.

Every attachment of a policy set to a resource has an assigned binding. If the resource has a policy set directly attached, then either the binding name, for example, MyBindings1 or Default is displayed. If a resource inherits a policy set, the resource also inherits the binding associated with that policy set and the name of the binding has inherited appended to it, for example, MyBindings1(inherited) or Default(inherited). If the resource does not have a directly attached or an inherited binding, thenNot applicable is displayed.

Procedure

  1. Open the administrative console.
  2. In the navigation pane, click Applications > Enterprise Applications > Service_client_application_instance > Service client policy sets and bindings.
  3. Select the check box next to the Application/Service/Endpoint/Operation column.
  4. Click Attach to attach a policy set to an application, service, endpoint or operation.
  5. [Optional] Click Detach to detach a policy set from a list of attached policy sets for an application, service provider, endpoint or operation.
  6. Click Assign Binding to assign default, existing or new binding information to a policy set.

Results

When you finish this task, a policy set is attached or detached, and a binding is assigned to the service artifact.

Example

If you have configured a service client application instance, app1 and you want, for example, to attach WSSecurity default policy to your service artifact, first locate app1 application in the Applications > Enterprise Applications > Service_client_application_instance > Service client policy sets and bindings collection. Click the app1 service client application. Select the check box next to the Application/Service/Endpoint/Operation column. Click Attach. Select WSSecurity default policy from the list. Click Save, to save your changes to the master configuration.

What to do next

You can proceed to view service clients at the cell level using the administrative console.
