HTTPTransport policy and binding properties

Use the -attributes parameter for the setPolicyType and setBinding commands to specify additional configuration information for the HTTPTransport policy and policy set binding. Application and system policy sets can use the HTTPTransport policy and binding.

Use the following commands and parameters in the PolicySetManagement group of the AdminTask object to customize your policy set configuration.
Note: If a property name or value supplied with the attributes parameter is not valid, then the setPolicyType and setBinding commands fail with an exception. The property that is not valid is logged as an error or warning in the SystemOut.log file. However, the command exception might not contain the detailed information for the property that caused the exception. When the setPolicyType and setBinding commands fail, examine the SystemOut.log file for any error and warning messages that indicate that the input for the attributes parameter contains one or multiple properties that are not valid.

Before you use the commands in this topic, verify that you are using the most recent version of the wsadmin tool. The policy set management commands that accept a properties object as the value for the attributes or bindingLocation parameters are not supported on previous versions of the wsadmin tool. For example, the commands do not run on a Version 6.1.0.x node.

The following sections explain the policy and binding properties to configure:

HTTPTransport policy properties

The HTTPTransport policy set can be used for HTTPS, basic authorization, compression, and binary encoding transport methods.

Configure the HTTPTransport policy by specifying the following attributes with the setPolicyType command:
protocolVersion
Specifies the version of HTTP to use. The valid version values are HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/1.0.
maintainSession
Specifies whether the HTTP session is enabled when a message is sent. The valid values are yes or no.
chunkTransferEnc
Specifies whether to enable chunked transfer encoding. The valid values are yes or no.
sendExpectHeader
Specifies whether to send an expect 100-request header. The valid values are yes or no.
compressRequest:name
Specifies whether to compress the request. The valid values are gzip, x-gzip, deflate, or none.
compressResponse:name
Specifies whether to compress the response. The valid values are gzip, x-gzip, deflate, or none.
acceptRedirectionURL
Specifies whether to accept URL redirection automatically. The valid values are yes or no.
messageResendOnce
Specifies if a message can be sent more than once. The valid values are yes or no.
connectTimeout
Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, before a connection times out when sending a message. Specify an integer value that is greater than zero. If a value of zero or less is specified, the connectTimeout property is set to the default value of 180 seconds. No maximum value is set for this property.
writeTimeout
Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, before the write time out occurs. Specify an integer value. Specify an integer value that is greater than zero. If a value of zero or less is specified, the connectTimeout property is set to the default value of 300 seconds. No maximum value is set for this property.
readTimeout
Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, before the read time out occurs. Specify an integer value. Specify an integer value that is greater than zero. If a value of zero or less is specified, the connectTimeout property is set to the default value of 300 seconds. No maximum value is set for this property.
persistConnection
Specifies whether to use a persistent connection when sending messages. Valid values are yes or no.
The following setPolicyType example command sets values for each HTTPTransport binding property:
AdminTask.setPolicyType('[-policySet "WSHTTPS custom" -policyType HTTPTransport -attributes 
"[[protocolVersion HTTP/1.1][sessionEnable yes][chunkTransferEnc yes][sendExpectHeader yes]
[compressRequest:name gzip][compressResponse:name gzip][acceptRedirectionURL yes]
[messageResendOnce no][connectTimeout 300][writeTimeout 300][readTimeout 300][persistConnection yes]]"]')

HTTPTransport binding properties

Configure the HTTPTransport binding by specifying the following attributes with the setBinding command:
outAsyncResponseBasicAuth:userid
Specifies the user name for basic authentication of outbound asynchronous responses.
outAsyncResponseBasicAuth:password
Specifies the password for basic authentication of outbound asynchronous responses.
outAsyncResponseProxy:userid
Specifies the user name for the outbound asynchronous service responses proxy.
outAsyncResponseProxy:password
Specifies the password for the outbound asynchronous service responses proxy.
outAsyncResponseProxy:port
Specifies the port number for the outbound asynchronous service responses proxy.
outAsyncResponseProxy:host
Specifies the host name for the outbound asynchronous service responses proxy.
outRequestBasicAuth:userid
Specifies the user name or basic authentication of outbound service requests.
outRequestBasicAuth:password
Specifies the password for basic authentication of outbound service requests.
outRequestProxy:userid
Specifies the user name for the outbound service request proxy.
outRequestProxy:password
Specifies the password for the outbound service request proxy.
outRequestProxy:port
Specifies the port number for the outbound service request proxy.
outRequestProxy:host
Specifies the host name for the outbound service request proxy.
The following setBinding example command sets values for each HTTPTransport binding property:
AdminTask.setBinding('[-bindingLocation "" -policyType HTTPTransport -attributes 
"[[outAsyncResponseBasicAuth:userid myID][outAsyncResponseBasicAuth:password 
myPW][outAsyncResponseProxy:host hostname][outAsyncResponseProxy:port 9060]
[outAsyncResponseProxy:userid myID][outAsyncResponseProxy:password myPW]
[outRequestBasicAuth:userid myID][outRequestBasicAuth:password myPW]
[outRequestProxy:userid myID][outRequestProxy:password myPW]
[outRequestProxy:port 9061][outRequestProxy:host hostname]]"]')
