Securing JAX-RPC Web services using message level security

Standards and profiles address how to provide protection for messages that are exchanged in a Web service environment.

Before you begin

Best practice Best practice: IBM® WebSphere® Application Server supports the Java API for XML-Based Web Services (JAX-WS) programming model and the Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) programming model. JAX-WS is the next generation Web services programming model extending the foundation provided by the 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

About this task

To secure Web services with WebSphere Application Server, you must specify several different configurations. Although there is not a specific sequence in which you must specify these different configurations, some configurations reference other configurations. See Web services security configuration considerations.

Web service security is supported in the managed Web service container. To establish a managed environment and to enforce constraints for Web services security, you must perform a Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) lookup on the client to resolve the service reference.

Procedure

Results

After completing these steps for WebSphere Application Server, you have secured Web services.
