View detail of a service provider and manage policy sets using the administrative console

Use this administrative console task to view the detail of your service provider and to manage the policy sets for the service, its endpoints and 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.

About this task

After you have developed a Web service that contains all the necessary artifacts, deployed your Web services application into your application server instance; now you can view the detail of your service provider, endpoints and operations. You can attach, detach policy sets and manage the associated bindings.

If a policy set is directly attached to a service provider, endpoint or operation, the policy set name appears; for example, RAMP default. If there is no policy set attached, but a policy set is attached at a higher level, the policy set name appears with inherited appended to it; for example, RAMP default(inherited). If there is no policy set attached directly or at a higher level item, then None is displayed.

Every resource attachment of a policy set has an assigned binding. If the resource has a policy set directly attached, 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 inherited binding, then Not applicable is displayed.

Procedure

  1. Open the administrative console.
  2. In the navigation pane, expand Services > Service providers > Service_provider_application_instance.
  3. Select one or more service, endpoints and operations of interest and view the associated service, endpoints and operations.
  4. Perform any of the following actions:
    • Click Attach, to attach a policy set to a selected service, endpoint or operation.
    • Click Detach, to detach a policy set from a list of attached policy sets for a service, endpoint or operation.
    • Click Assign Binding, to assign default, existing or new binding information. If multiple service, endpoints and operations are selected, you must attached them to the same policy set, or compatible policy sets.

Results

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

Example

You have configured a service provider, EchoService12 in the application instance, WSSampleServicesSei. Now you want to attach the WSSecurity default policy to the EchoService12Port endpoint of the EchoService12 service provider. First locate EchoService12 in the Services > Service providers collection. Click the EchoService12 service provider. Select the check box for the columoService12Port resource. Click Attach and select WSSecurity default policy from the list. Click Save, to save your changes to the master configuration.

What to do next

You can now proceed to manage policy sets and bindings for service providers at the application level using the administrative console.
