You can secure messages with tokens and encryption to protect message
integrity, authenticity, and confidentiality.
Before you begin
newfeat Best practice: The WebSphere® Application Server Version 6.1
Feature Pack for Web Services extends the capabilities of this product
to introduce support for the Java API for XML-Based Web Services (JAX-WS) 2.0 programming model.
JAX-WS is the next generation Web services programming model complimenting
the foundation provided by the Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) programming model. Using the strategic
JAX-WS programming model, development of Web services and clients
is simplified through support of a standards-based annotations model.
Although the JAX-RPC programming model and applications are still
supported, take advantage of the easy-to-implement JAX-WS programming
model to develop new Web services applications and clients. bprac
