Use this page to attach and detach policy sets to a composition
unit, a service provider, its endpoints, or operations of a Service
Component Architecture (SCA) composite. You can select the default
bindings, create new application-specific bindings, or use bindings
that you created for an attached policy set. You can view or change
whether the service provider can share its current policy configuration.
To view this administrative console page, your composition unit
must use Web services and support SCA. Click .
Depending on your assigned security role
when security is enabled, you might not have access to text entry
fields or buttons to create or edit configuration data. Review the
administrative roles documentation to learn more about the valid roles
for the application server.
To attach or detach a policy set or binding, do the following:
- Select a composition unit, service, endpoint, or operation. The Composition
unit/Service/Endpoint/Operation list is nested, indicating
parent-child relationships.
- Click the desired button.
Table 1. Button descriptions. Use the buttons to attach or detach policy sets and to assign
policy set bindings.
Button |
Resulting action |
Attach |
Attaches a policy set to the selected composition
unit, service, endpoint, or operation. To attach a policy set, select
a unit, service, endpoint, or operation and click . To close the menu list, click Attach.
|
Detach Policy Set |
Detaches a policy set from the selected composition
unit, service, endpoint, or operation. After the policy set is detached,
if there is no policy set attached to an upper-level service resource,
the Attached Policy Set column displays None and
the Binding column displays Not applicable.
If
there is a policy set attached to an upper-level service resource,
the Attached Policy Set column displays policy_set_name (inherited) and
the binding used for the upper-level attachment is applied. The binding
name is displayed followed by (inherited).
|
Assign Binding |
Assigns a policy set binding to the selected
composition unit, service, endpoint, or operation. The options include
the following:
- Default
- Specifies the default binding for the selected composition unit,
service, endpoint, or operation. You can specify client and provider
default bindings to be used at the cell level or global security domain
level, for a particular server, or for a security domain. The default
bindings are used when an application-specific binding has not been
assigned to the attachment. When you attach a policy set to a service
resource, the binding is initially set to the default. If you do
not specifically assign a binding to the attachment point using this Assign
Binding action, the default specified at the nearest scope
is used.
For any policy set attachment, the run time checks to see
if the attachment includes a binding. If so, it uses that binding.
If not, the run time checks in the following order and uses the first
available default binding:
- Default general bindings for the server
- Default general bindings for the domain in which the server resides
- Default general bindings for the global security domain
- New Application Specific Binding
- Opens a page on which you can create a new application-specific
binding for the policy set attachments. The new binding you create
is used for the selected resources. If you select more than one resource,
ensure that all selected resources have the same policy set attached.
- Provider Sample
- Specifies to use a sample binding provided with the artifact.
|
Specifies the name of the composition unit and the associated
service providers, endpoints or operations.
The Composition unit/Service/Endpoint/Operation column lists the
composition unit and the service providers, endpoints, or operations
that the composition unit contains.
Specifies the policy set that is attached to a composition
unit, service provider, endpoint, or operation.
The Attached Policy Set column can contain the following values:
- None. No policy set is attached, either
directly or to a higher-level service resource.
- Policy_set_name. The
name of the policy set that is attached directly to the service resource,
for example, WS-I RSP.
- Policy_set_name (inherited).
The name of the policy set that is not attached directly to a service
resource, but that is attached to a higher-level service resource.
When the value in the column is a link, click the link to view
or change settings about the attached policy set.
Specifies the binding configuration that is available for
a service provider, endpoint, or operation.
The Binding column can contain the following values:
- Not applicable. No policy set is attached,
either directly or to a higher-level service resource.
- Binding_name or Default.
The binding name is displayed if a policy set is attached directly
and an application-specific binding or a general binding is assigned,
for example, MyBindings1. Default is
displayed if a policy set is attached directly but the service resource
uses the default bindings.
- Binding_name (inherited) or Default
(inherited). A service resource inherits the bindings
from an attachment to a higher-level resource.
When the value in the Binding column is a link, click the link
to view or change settings about the binding.
